The Thing prequel gets a slime-free first trailer

*The equation of paranoia plus snow plus screaming can only equal one
thing – you guessed it, the first trailer for _The Thing_ has
crept online.*

Considering this is from the minds behind the more than decent _Dawn
Of The Dead_ remake, we should probably give this new _Thing_ a little
slack.

But that’s difficult to do when it sets itself up as nothing
more than a retread of John Carpenter’s masterful 1982
scarefest.

Being promoted as a prequel to Carpenter’s film (that's hard to
believe considering they didn't even bother changing the title), this
new ice-encrusted chiller is helmed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr, and
follows the same basic premise.

On the plus side, Mary Elizabeth Winstead (aka Ramona Flowers) appears
to hold her own as a Ripley-like flame-throwing heroine. And Joel
Edgerton's involved in some capacity.

Check out the trailer below…

_The Thing_ opens 2 December.
