Just yesterday we flung a pair of fresh clips from Universal’s THE THING prequel at you. How you recovering?
Hopefully well enough to want to give this new behind-the-scenes featurette for the film a whirl. In it you’ll find the incomparable Mary Elizabeth Winstead (above and below), as well as new action-man Joel Edgerton, Eric Christian Olsen, producer Eric Newman and exec-producer J. Miles Dale. Oh, and a bunch of new graphic footage of THE THING is shown.
Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when a creature is unearthed by a crew of international scientists. In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads among a group of researchers as they encounter something inhuman that has the ability to turn itself into an exact replica of any living being.
Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across a creature buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the ice eons ago. But it is about to wake up.
When a simple experiment frees the thing from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew’s pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish.
