John Carpenter, the director of the classic sci-fi horror film TheThing, says he can't discuss the reboot being planned by Blumhouse. 'There are updates that I am not allowed to speak of. We'll see, we shall see...'
John Carpenter says he isn’t allowed to talk about a possible Blumhouse reboot of The Thing. Carpenter, who helmed the 1982 original sci-fi horror picture, revealed back in 2020 that he could be involved in the horror studio’s adaptation of the source material. Based on John W. Campbell Jr.
While Carpenter’s classic sci-fi horror may be the most iconic adaptation of Campbell’s work, a previous iteration was released back in 1951 entitled The Thing from Another World, and a prequel to Carpenter’s original film, also titled The Thing, was released in 2011. Kurt Russell claimed the leading role as R.J. MacReady in Carpenter’s picture, starring alongside A. Wilford Brimley, Keith David, Richard Masur, Donald Moffat, Joel Polis, Richard Dysart, and T.K. Carter.
While the nature of Carpenter’s involvement in The Thing reboot remains a mystery, fans of the director's original picture will likely feel a bolstered sense of confidence in the Blumhouse project with his endorsement. In addition to The Thing, Carpenter boasts an impressive list of big sci-fi and horror titles including Halloween, Escape From New York, and Christine.
Carpenter’s comments, while vague, are somewhat reassuring that the Blumhouse The Thing reboot remains in the works. Though updates have been few and far between, it's likely that the studio will want to take extra time and care in developing the project, to ensure it meets the high expectations of such an iconic original film, but also keeps itself from remaining in the shadow of its fabled 1982 predecessor.
