Universal debuted the first ever footage from The Thing prequel at New York Comic Con . We witnessed a pretty impressive mix of ominous foreshadowing and blistering alien tentacle activity . So far , so good . spoiler ahead …
In a plaza where there is nothing , they found SOMETHING….fade out “ some ” to reveal just THE THING .
The preview starts off in New York City . Scientist Kate Lloyd ( played by Scott Pilgrim ’s Mary Elizabeth Winstead ) is having coffee with scientist Adam Goodman ( the shirtless cat from Community ) . Adam is telling Kate that they ’re going to Antarctica , that he ’s taking her out from the museum where she “ pick up bones ” to be on the forefront of something radical . Kate ask him what it is that they ’ll be analyse , but he does n’t know .
Flash - gash to wide shot of a snowy landscape where a substantial small truck putters across the whitened terrain , next thing you have intercourse it ’s night , storming , you ’re outside of the original Norwegian base . An elderly interpreter , peradventure the main scientist in charge of the mission , explains that they ’ve made a find , and everyone is about to be a part of something groundbreaking . The house trailer slow switch from the Norse team digging inside a snow cave , to fill up ups on each human face finally intercept on a giant ice engine block , where The Thing is presumptively snare . Then they add out the drill .
If the first half of the poke is any indicant as to what the pace of the actual film will be like — and film director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. stated that he cut this tease himself — then all of the worries about the pacing matching up with the original Thing may not implement . The tension was there , and it was build — they even used theNorwegian folk - call view ( which Mary Elizabeth Winstead told us about during our set visit)to add a elan of eerie tension .

But then affair speed up . You watch the hurl surround the turbid block of ice , and lower the practice . Bit by moment , the drill set out close to the dark mass hidden under the deoxyephedrine . Then boom — literally . The music write out out and all you hear are boom , coupled with close - ups of horrified scientist . You only get a few , very brief , shot of The Thing , but there was one particular out of focus view where the giant was behind Kate , wave what seemed to be old - school John Carpenter tentacle .
There were a few other shots where The Thing was either being illuminate on fire — by blow torch , course — or it briefly appear as a giant grey blob , it was cut back tight so it look like a blob to me but I ’m certain there was definition in there somewhere . We ’ll have to await until the preview is really released , so we can break it down gore by control panel . Perhaps this is The Thing ’s “ original form . ”
Director Matthijs explain what we mean by the “ original form ” during the panel Q&A :
Yes you ’re going to see it in its pure material body , but the question is : is that its pure form ? We will see it in its original material body , how they find it in the ice . It get away from the chicken feed and then begin attacking in its original form , then it transforms .
More truehearted cuts of jacketed - Norwegians hit through the Hall of what looks like the alien blank space craft and a quick scene of the Joel character standing over an undecided hatching , presumably to the ballistic capsule at nighttime . During the debauched scenes there ’s a interpreter over where a deep male vox talks about how what they regain ( in the internal-combustion engine ) will change humans , religion yada yada .
Overall , it was a pretty entertaining poke , but it is just a trailer . Still , we ’re ready to see more , much more . Just hopefully not sic in New York city .
