The movie was supposed to hit back in March, but was suddenly removed from the release calendar, seemingly without a home. Now, the first poster has hit and indicates that, yes, the movie is hitting theaters this October! Check out the first one sheet, which gives you an idea of what the “Thing” will be doing to his human victims come Halloween
If audiences today remember absolutely zero about the original artwork that is iconic with John Carpenter’s remake of the Howard Hawks film (when ‘remake’ was not a dirty, vile word) then this is really impressive. Since most folks do know of it, then the teaser poster is rather blah. It’s not bad-bad. Kind of think it looks like the cardboard sleeve of a DVD or Blu-Ray cover. Some folks like it though. It also isn’t the final one-sheet. I’ll give it that. (and why do I get this knawing feeling that it’s going to be a floating heads type poster- maybe it’s my confiedence level, I ‘spose)
Anyway, here it is:
It could have been worse. Y’know what–? Universal guys, if you’re reading, keep it close to this and you’ll be fine.
P.S. Some of you should be doing cartwheels, considering that little object in the corner- the one that says “R”…
Chime in, Int’l friends.
