UPDATE: 'THE THING' One-Sheet Teases Us With A Bit Of Art - But Is It Real?
UPDATE: There was some initial concern a few days ago when this story broke that the poster we featured was a fan-made attempt. This poster however has been proven indeed to be authentic (by Universal Pictures) and we have a new high-def veron for you to feast on below.
A piece of art for the upcoming film, The Thing, has materialized from the deepest bowels of the web today, well maybe not that far. Aint It Cool actually made the discovery earlier today - But it's still unclear whether this is an official One-sheet or something that is fan made. Regardless it's a pretty cool find, and I think it gets it serves it's purpose well. What do you guys think?
Plot Synops:
"Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific posbility becomes a mison of survival when an alien is unearthed by a crew of international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentally unleashed at this marooned colony, has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, but inde, it remains inhuman. In the thriller THE THING, paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers as they’re infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet. 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 an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up. When a mple experiment frees the alien 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 parate that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish."
Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. is directing from a screenplay by Eric Heisserer and Ronald D. Moore. The cast includes Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Jonathan Walker, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Dennis Storhøi, Trond Espen Seim, Jørgen Langhelle, Eric Christian Olsen, Stig Henrik Hoff, Jan Gunnar Røise, Kristofer Hivju, and Jo Adrian Haavind.
The Thing prequel is set to hit theatres on October 14, 2011.
