Battlestar Galactica exec producer Ronald D Moore is to write the script for a new version of The Thing, according to Variety (via SciFi Wire). The classic John Carpenter movie isn't going to be remade: instead, the new film is to be a 'companion piece' to the original (itself a remake of 50s film, The Thing From Another World, which was based on a John W Campbell short story, Who Goes There?).
I have high hopes for it. If there's one thing RDM has demonstrated in the last three years, it's that he's the king of remakes...
