No your right. As a matter of when the decision was made to go to CGI, the original practical FX company went off on their own and produced Harbinger Down to showcase some of the practical FX they developed for The Thing 2011. A lot it was good, some of it was hokey but the potential was there.

Yea you have reminded me pretty sure it was part of the Harbinger Down pitch video that talked about the practical effects.
I will have to look the old campaign up but I am 99% sure that is what I was thinking about.
Harbinger Down wasn't very good but you are right that it had potential didn't have enough money behind it though. -

I liked it, the prequel concept was the way to go to expand the story into another movie. But why title it "The Thing" unless you want to confuse people into thinking it's a remake? They shoulda called it "The Pre-Thing" or "The Thing Before The Thing." 8/10
That's right! You're about to be killed by a zamboni! -

Good idea, good production values, but appallingly substandard dialogue and acting. I believe they'd have done better to hire a trained monkey to write the dialogue, and hire a crew of trained monkeys to be the actors. It's a serious suggestion- this strategy worked well for the
Planet of the Apes
franchise.
