Universal and Blumhouse are apparently working on a The Thing remake based on an extended version of the novella Who Goes There?
Despite very cold reviews when it was first released in 1982, John Carptenter's The Thing has gone on to become a celebrated horror classic. Starring a young, bearded and incredibly on-form Kurt Russell, it was in itself a kinda-remake of Christian Nyby's The Thing From Another World (1951) and they were both based on John W. Campbell Jr.'s 1938 novella, Who Goes There?
A couple of years ago, it was revealed that an extended version of that novella had been discovered, and sci-fi writer John Betancourt then set out to make it available to interested fans via Kickstarter. Now, the newly-refurbished novel, called Frozen Hell, has apparently raised a lot of interest from the likes of Universal and Blumhouse, who are reportedly working on a feature film...

Universal and Blumhouse are bound for the icy plains of Antarctica, after it was confirmed today that a new version of The Thing has entered the formative stages of development.
And best of all? It’ll adapt a full-length version of Frozen Hell by John Campbell, whose novella Who Goes There? served as the foundations for both John Carpenter’s The Thing and The Thing from Another World from 1951.
News broke over on Facebook this past weekend, when producer Alan Donnes (h/t Bloody Disgusting) announced plans for a full-blown remake using never-before-seen chapters from Frozen Hell – chapters that were lost to the annals of time for decades. So it’s not too much of a stretch to say that this long-rumored project has a shot of becoming the most authentic adaptation of Campbell’s horror classic yet.
