I’m one of the biggest fans ofJohn Carpenter’s movieoutput there is, withThe Thingbeing my personal favorite.

This 1982 chiller stranded twelve men in an Antarctic research outpost with a shape-shifting alien monster.

The alien buried in ice is actually alive and has the ability to imitate human form.

The group must find a way to distinguish who the real person is from The Thing and stay alive.

So far,I thinkTeacupbarely resemblesStingerat all based on the teaser images.

Instead of an isolated desert setting, the Peacock series relocates the action to Georgia.

A team of researchers set out to study an alien spacecraft found in Antarctica, where they also discover an alien body on the site. The alien buried in ice is actually alive and has the ability to imitate human form. The group must find a way to distinguish who the real person is from The Thing and stay alive. John Carpenter’s 1982 film is a remake of 1951’s The Thing from Another World and stars Kurt Russel as the hero RJ MacReady.

Regardless, the show is said to be true to the spirit of McCammon’s book.
