oh, they'll try!what's scarier is the treatment/premise for a prequel to The Thing (from Wiki):
'In early 2009, Variety and Bloody-Disgusting reported the launch of a project to film a prequel—possibly following MacReady's brother during the events leading up to the opening moments of the 1982 film— with Matthijs van Heijningen as director and Ronald D. Moore as writer. In March 2009, Moore described his script as a 'companion piece' to Carpenter's film and 'not a remake.' 'We're telling the story of the Norwegian camp that found the Thing before the Kurt Russell group did,' he said.'
'MacReady's brother'?!?!?
