‘The Thing’ Prequel Loses Its Release Date; Replaced By ‘Fast And The Furious 5′

Posted: 13 Nov 2010 08:54 PM PST



Universal Pictures has decided to make some changes to its upcoming release schedule that may lead to some fans to become a little bit concerned.

The studio's prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 horror classic of the same name, The Thing, had been scheduled for release on April 29, 2011. Now it's being reported that Universal has decided to pull The Thing from said release date and replace it with Fast Five, the fifth movie in the Fast and the Furious franchise. The Thing was not given another release date.

And while this could have those excited to see the movie a little worried as to what's going on, the studio simply said that they made the move because The Thing is not yet ready, and that they're very high on Fast Five.

At Comic-Con in July, attendees were shown footage from Green Lantern of Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, but nothing has been released showing Reynolds suited up as Green Lantern. This sneak peek clearly gives us a look at Hal Jordan suiting up and stripping down (meaning, Reynolds in his underwear), as well as Green Lantern in flight with power ring alight.

What do you think of this new Green Lantern footage? [...]

In early 2009, I recall browsing Amazon for some new reading material. I was after something different, something new, and by an author I had not yet read material from. Topping the bestsellers at the site that month was a series of three novels from a Swedish author named Stieg Larsson. Curious at the books, I became even more intrigued upon the discovery that these books were published posthumously and that they had since become the biggest selling novels in his home country of Sweden.

The first tale, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, was an absolutely riveting tale, a book to which the "cliché" absolutely applies. With the first few chapters I was an advocate in Larsson's world of the Millennium Trilogy (named after the magazine company one of the main character's works for), and completely a fan [...]
