The Thing (also known as The Thing: The Beginning or The Thing Awakens) is a 2011 science-fiction horror film directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. and written by Eric Heisserer based on the novella Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell. It is a prequel to the 1982 film of the same name by John Carpenter, which was itself a remake of the 1951 classic science fiction film by Howard Hawks titled The Thing From Another World. The film stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Ulrich Thomsen, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Eric Christian Olsen. They are part of a team of Norwegian and American scientists who discover an alien buried deep in the ice of Antarctica, realizing too late that it is still alive.

Still haven't seen it but The Thing was a natural candidate for a prequel given that we know the creature attacked the Norwegian camp first.
