This week, Betancourt has provided an incredibly exciting update on the fully-funded project, announcing that Blumhouse and Universal Studios are adapting Frozen Hell!
“The movie will be from Universal and Blumhouse. Everyone is super excited about it, and it’s being fast-tracked,” Betancourt explains, expanding upon an announcement that was actually first made by producer Alan Donnes over on Facebook this past Friday.
Donnes wrote, “It’s OFFICIAL! I received my signed contract and first check! I am Executive Producing a remake of THE THING but with additional chapters of John Campbell’s groundbreaking novel, Frozen Hell, that had been lost for decades. Now, for the first time ever, Campbell’s full vision will be realized on the big screen. The new film will include the very best of RKO’s THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD, John Carpenter’s classic THE THING and both books, Frozen Hell and Who Goes There?”
Alot of y'all hating but I been waiting for this tbh. As long as its lile their invisible man remake and takes the basic idea and runs with it im down.
I'm ready to see a new adaption of the short story especially with how far science has come.
Also John Campbell a dope author so new material to be adapted is an instant

can almost guarantee it’ll be a remake of Carpenter’s original with s*** cgi and not another adaptation of the original story.
Guarantee this is gonna be some succ
The remake/“prequel” from the 2010s wasn’t actually awful, just felt like a video game. Some cool Boschian designs. No way they don’t f*** this up
It's based off the the recently discovered novel wheras John Carpenter's was based on the novella
Og a classic.... but blumhouse became a powerhouse studio by taking chances and winning
The Thing is the last horror film that’s in need of a remake/reboot or whatever the f*** you’d call that lol
They tried with that prequel in 2011, and how that go?
Thought the prequel was great and the original is a top horror movie....
Leave this s*** alone.
