How many others are there Ryan? LOL!
The Howard Hawks film "The Thing From Another World" is nothing like the source material that inspired it.
Carpenter's, while called a "remake", really isn't. If you ever read "Who Goes There?" you'll see that Carpenter pretty much nailed it. The only real difference is there are more characters and some cows in the original story.
I read somewhere that the makers of this prequel are working backwards off Carpenter's film - "There's a hole in the wall there and an axe in the door here. We need to show how that came about" kinda stuff. That has to mean we'll see that crazy split faced creature they bring back from the Norweigen camp in action. I've also heard that it will be practical effects (IE - rubber monsters) with CGI enhancements. Woo hoo!
