The Thing Prequel In Works?

Fangoria.com reported that Strike Entertainment, the production company behind the Dawn of the Dead remake and Slither, is looking for writers to draft a prequel to John Carpenter's classic SF movie The Thing.

Other proposed Thing-related projects have come and gone in recent years. Universal released Carpenter's 1982 movie, which was an update of 1952's The Thing From Another World, which in turn was based on John W. Campbell Jr.'s short story "Who Goes There?"
