Movies They Should Make: And Another Thing

... And Another Thing is a sequel to John Carpenter's The Thing (1982), set immediately after the events of that film, while also a sequel to The Thing (2011) prequel directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.. Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) rides a snow-cat from the devastation of her settlement in the prequel to find a man collapsed in the snow. She passes him by at first but a pang of conscience brings her back to lift his sleeve and check for a pulse. She sees a watch or a tattoo - something inorganic that could not be replicated - and risks reviving him. It is R.J. MacReady (Wyatt Russell, the spitting image of his father Kurt, with a beard) the last survivor of the American camp. He is rambling about Childs, who escaped him and abandoned him after being questioned as a Thing. They have to find the next settlement and/ or communications to alert people of danger without sounding nuts. When they find someone who can fly them, this person turns and they are able to throw him out of the helicopter in mid air as MacReady takes over as pilot. When they land in a more populated area, they have to tread lightly because anyone there could be a Thing, from punks on the street to the police. This premise might be fertile ground for engagement with current concerns despite being set in 1982. There could also be reference to people enjoying the E.T. craze.
