There's no atmosphere in that trailer, it looks like the typical generic horror movie from these days, and as Radicalus said, the Thing is still a completely flawless movie that didn't absolutely need a remake.

They've got to milk everything though, so here we go, crappy remakes everywhere! *iamdisappoint*

I'd say, so far, it's the trailer's fault, not necessarily the movie's. Something more obscure would fit a movie like The Thing better, but they went with a pretty cliched trailer where almost everything is revealed right away and filled it with monsters, screams and other scary sounds - can't get much of an atmosphere from that Smile
The movie itself might turn out to be not that bad, if we are very lucky Smile

I loved the original, and in no small part thanks to the fact that I knew absolutely nothing about it besides that it was a horror movie. When I started to watch I had no idea what was happening or what was about to happen. This and relatively slow pacing really built up the suspense and mystery.
In that trailer they pretty much instantly reveal the alien, its hostile intentions, its ability to transform... so a big part of the experience is gone already. Granted, for those of us who have seen the original, that part is gone already anyway, so it's not that big of a deal, if the movie itself retains the atmosphere of the first one.

Still, it would be impossible for this prequel to compare with the original if you have seen it.

Well, i'd be happy if the remake was made by someone who could hold suspense and build fear and create tension. Teen drama = fail.

...you mean apart from finding the ship, digging it up, removing the alien in the icecube, waking it up and getting annihilated by it...and a dog that runs off which is actually the alien..

...so exactly what more do You need? Smile


Edit: Oh yes, I forgot the norweigans.

Well, it's not uncommon for a movie to have one of its first releases be a TS. And TS ones get out pretty often these days as well.

I made these if they are of any use...

https://rapidshare.com/files/3860032511/The.Thing.2011.R5.LiNE.XviD-MiSTERE.srt

They are custom made by translating some portuguese subs from the TS release, editing them to make more sense, and syncing them to the video. It has most of the foreign lines, I think. If not, go fuck yourself with a cactus.

 Spoiler:
 


Just a heads up - that line "The mother says..." shown in your screenshot appears slightly earlier on the MiSTERE release (the one I used), so you might want to check they are properly synced before hardcoding them.

Well it seems to have been a success. However I'm a but concerned by the decrease in the file size. The avi was 1.4gb and now it's less than 700mb! I've checked the properties on each file. Both resolutions are the same and the frames per second. The difference is the data rate but I'm not sure what that is, how to fix it or how to correct it should I try again. The subs are hard encoded and look good though.
