Not a fan of sucking the mystery out of one of the best films of the 80s, but this is the guy behind the BSG remake as a positive.

THE THING prequel: A new interviewed was posted online with BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA show-runner Ronald D. Moore, who penned the screenplay for the prequel for Universal Pictures and Strike Entertainment, where he updates us on the status of the project. "I was working on THE THING. I finished. I did my last draft a few weeks ago and turned it in," Moore told the Sci Fi Wire web site "They [Universal Pictures] seem happy. They have a director [Matthijs Van Heijningen] assigned, and we'll wait to see when and if they green-light it."
"Well, the idea was to make a companion piece to Carpenter's," explaining how this is a prequel and not a remake. "I started on the project with the feeling that Carpenter's version is just an amazing piece of work. It's a great film, and we really wanted to honor that version. "We wanted a piece that would link up to [the Carpenter film] and not supplant it. So we didn't try to sort of completely reinvent what it was. We wanted a movie that would sort of live alongside it."
Here's the synopsis we were exclusively provided a few months ago: The prequel takes place from the Norwegian camps point of view. An American scientific expedition to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic is interrupted by a group of seemingly mad Norwegians pursuing and shooting a dog. The helicopter pursuing the dog crashes leaving no explanation for the chase. During the night, the dog mutates and attacks other dogs in the cage and members of the team that investigate. The team soon realize that an alien life-form with the ability to take over bodies is on the loose and they don't know who may already have been taken over. (thanks to Bloody-Disgusting.com)
"The prequel takes place from the Norwegian camps point of view."
Sounds interesting but i seriously doubt they can strech that idea through whole movie.Still it would be nice to see extended version of film Norvegians shot on spaceship crash site
