Hey folks, Harry here... Ever since Patrick Sauriol broke that story about THE THING 2 possiblities at UNIVERSAL - I've been salivating. That's the exact sort of rumor that I click my heels together three times and whisper, "Please be True, Please be True, Please be True!"

Tonight I was talking to John Carpenter's wife and producer Sandy King about it, and she didn't know a thing about anything having to do with THE THING 2. Well, when a friend of her son's came in to ask her about John doing THE THING 2, she asked me what the word was about this deal and I told her about the Coming Attraction rumor. She was befuddled, but then asked me to hold on a minute while she ran downstairs to ask John what was going on. And here is what John said:

"I would love to do a sequel to "The Thing", but no one has asked me." -- John Carpenter

So - the John Carpenter side of the story isn't true. He hasn't been making demands about budgets or his fees. And if Universal wanted to know if he wanted to do it.... Seems like the answer is.....

So... Let's keep buying that Video Game and sending major good vibes towards this project.... Cuz... Wouldn't it be cool? No CG though... I say it should stay 100% Rob Bottin!!! Fuck the Computer!
