It's good to hear that Rob Zombie, or some other halfwit isn't directing this...but, for the love of god, and all that is holy, leave The Thing alone!

Ill say it once and I'll say it again, if they do touch the Thing, the only way it would work is as a direct sequel...but its far to late for that. As for They Live, I think in the right hands this could actually be a good remake, especially on a grander scale.

I've got to agree with these guys,in the right hands a they live remake would be great< but john carpenter's vision of the thing is untouchable,a remake should not be attempted....

They Live is a classic, and it pains me to imagine it as a shitty, overly-saturated remake that takes itself way too seriously and stars Samuel L. Jackson or something.

Wow. You'd think that Hollywood would learn from the Assault on Precinct 13 and The Fog remakes. Not to mention that Zombie's Halloween really divided folks, and the Escape From New York remake is stuck in development hell. I swear, there is little to no originality in the studio system right now. This just makes me sick.

it was only a matter of time.

I'm all for a They Live remake as not a lot of people really know about it but please, leave The Thing alone. I only just watched it again a few days ago and there is NOTHING wrong with it.

who would they possibly get to replace roddy piper? nobody. NOBODY!

Edward - I would actually like to see Mickey Rourke...if they were going to keep it similar to the original.

I recall seeing THEY LIVE, but it's been so long I don't remember what I thought about it. THE THING however is a masterpiece. But once you have remade TEXAS CHAINSAW and HALLOWEEN, anything is possible these days and should not surprise anybody. I still can't believe no studio is talking about remaking JAWS, one of the biggest movies ever? I'll bet it will happen eventually.

Christ finally made an account, crappy set-up, takes ages for anything to update, like avatars and stuffff, anyway blahblahblah hope this ones good blahblah

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooo

I'll second that... nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooo

There is no way to top the original, from Roddy's mullet to the infamous fight scene, why can't Hollywood come up with anything original?

AHHH SHIT PLEASE DONT RUIN THIS FUCKING CLASSIC

I am getting the impression that John Carpenter must need money REALLY bad! This movie is a classic! I have hated most of the Carpenter remakes and I know they cannot top the original for this one too!

never seen the original, but it since it has to do with aliens five bucks says that will smith will prob. star in it......(nothing against him). i agree with ya johnny horror i am surprised to that they aint remaking jaws since they practically ruined/remade all of the classics already.

Leave "The Thing" alone and remake Jaws instead. Then maybe I could see the whole movie without falling asleep.

*Rolls Eyes*

Goddammit, stop remaking carpenter's films! They Live and The Thing are untouchable...Im sad

Leave other people's work alone >:(

im not for remakes by any means, but dawn was cool and the texas chaisaw remake was alright, but maybe this will be awesome. They Live is one of the movies that i grew up with.

actually, i had heard from the rumor mill, that with todays visual effects, spielberg was actually talking about remaking jaws...

WHO GIVES A SHIT IF THEY ARE REMAKING THE MOVIE. You people are fucking insufferable. If it sucks, then so be it, They Live is sitting on my shelf right now I can watch it any time I want. Stop bitching. If Zach Snyder is involved this has a chance to be pretty decent anyway. Go ahead remake whatever the hell you want. They the same stage play with different actors and crews every year, why can't movies be the same way? Not every year, but every couple decades or so. I mean, no one is going to die from a remake. FUCKING CRYBABIES FOR NO REASON!

Just fixing a typo...They performer the*....also I love They Live by the way. I hope they let Pipper do some kind of side role in this. It would be sooooo awesome!
