More Creature In Russian Trailer For THE THING

With the theatrical release of Matthijs van Heijningen Jr's prequel to John Carpenter's The Thing rapidly approaching there is increasingly speculation as to whether the film will live up to the legacy of Carpenter's offering. Well, here's another chance to get a read on things with the arrival of a Russian trailer that includes previously unseen footage of some creature effects.

Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up. When a simple experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew's pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish.

Take a look below.
