January 15, 2009 - The Thing sequel / director scooped
Scooped on Thursday, February 5, 2009
According to Bloody Disgusting, Swedish commercial director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. has been tapped to direct Universal's follow-up to The Thing. Van Heijningen had been hired to direct Army of the Dead for Strike Entertainment, the same production company that's also been developing this sequel.
The site also mentions what they know of the movie's synopsis: the main character is supposed to be none other than the brother of Kurt Russell's character from the 1982 picture and the story seems to be a prequel told from the point-of-view of the Norwegians that first discovered the monster! However, BD's summary then veers off and becomes confusing because the site then describes what the premise was for John Carpenter's film.
