New Clip Released From ‘The Thing’ Prequel

A great new clip for ‘The Thing’ prequel just hit this morning that shows off one of the major differences between this movie and its predecessor of the same name. This movie focuses on what happens when the alien creature is at the Norwegian base before it goes to the American base in the John Carpenter classic. As you can see fromt he clip below, not only does Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s character have to deal with a pain in the ass alien, but she’s also got to deal with a bunch of dudes who sound like the Swedish Chef.

Here’s the official synopsis:
Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by a crew of international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentally unleashed at this marooned colony, has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, but inside, it remains inhuman. In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers as they’re infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet. Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up. When a simple experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew’s pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish. The Thing serves as a prelude to John Carpenter’s classic 1982 film of the same name.
