From the subtitle "Découvrez les origine du mythe", this is actually the newest one, not the great John Carpenter one.

Looks nice tho

Well, that one is great too ..

 

[biscuitnoir]

That'd be a blind buy for me, but I must admit the artwork is gorgeous

 

[jbsolo]

Looks great and will even look more amazing if that THING is embossed!

 

[darczap]

It has an embossed look to it. I didn't like the film so most likely a pass for me.

 

[karl01]

yeah A pass for me to thought the film was ok not a touch on the original This should be a double feature that would make it outstanding

 

[Sigill]

I haven't seen this yet but from the looks of the trailer it didn't look great. I wasn't a fan of the original either, its the only John Carpenter film i don't like! The Steelbook does look nice though.

Are we sure this is a Steelbook? I don't see anything that indicates that on the listing, and the picture doesn't really look like a Steelbook. That said, I saw this in the theaters and thought it was fantastic. It's actually a prequel to the 1982 John Carpenter film, and it ends exactly where the '82 film begins.

Good point. I'll add 'possible' to the title until more details unfold.

I really liked this film, it leads into Carpenters perfectly.
Also my buddy worked on it in the special effects dept.
I'd grab this one if it didn't have the banner in French on it.
Plus I already have the reg. release of The Thing (Carpenters) so unless I have a SB for that one too I'll just get the regular release.

Amazon of course.

 

[biscuitnoir]

Amazon of course.

Damnit, for one sec I thought to myself "ok, we got a courageous one"

 

[ash333]

Amazon of course.

Whoa man, you move fast. I hope you double up on other steels to "save" on shipping. Wait, it's chip, he don't need to save $$ on shipping

Hey you know me. I never do a small order.

I think we could all work that one out by the artwork in the Thing Words
