Edgerton talks The Thing...

Joel Edgerton, who plays the helicopter pilot in Universal's The Thing, spoke with What's Playing and revealed whether the film is in fact a prequel or remake of Carpenter's classic...

"Anyone who is a big fan of the John Carpenter version of The Thing knows that it starts on the American base station but the investigation of where the Thing has come from leads us to know something very bad has happened at the Norwegian base station and the prequel centres itself around there and what happened pre-Kurt Russell."

Production begins this month in Vancouver...
