“I think [Jason Blum’s] gonna be working on The Thing. Rebooting The Thing. I may be involved with that. Maybe. Down the road.”
It was reported in January that Universal Studios and Blumhouse Productions were going to develop a remake of The Thing. This reboot will adapt the long lost pages of the class original 1938 Who Goes There?. The long lost pages have been titled Frozen Hell.
