The Weekly Planet - The Thing but 2011 - Caravan Of Garbage

Episode Date: October 24, 2024

In 2011 Universal had the absolute audacity to release a prequel to John's Carpenter's The Thing telling the story of the Norwegian camp we briefly saw in the original. With Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton in the lead it seems as if a genuinely solid attempt was made at recapturing the magic of the first before studio interference didn't do justice to the original practical special effects by papering them over with rushed CGI, diminished character moments and re-edited story beats.

Welcome back everybody to Caravanor Garbage where we're talking about the Thing movies. That's right. We've already covered the first two. In a manner of speaking we have, yes. We talked about that guy that was on fire. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which covers all these movies really. Hey remember that guy that was on fire? The Thing.

Absolutely. So for this one, which came out in 2011, please leave a like obviously. For that fun fact, for that gem of information, for that absolute gold nugget, it came out in 2011. We've done our research. Yep, people think we don't, but we do. So they were knocking around the idea of doing something with the thing. It's money on the table, cult classic, baby. It is, and it did build that following, which obviously didn't translate here.

Should we do a live service game? We haven't invented those yet. Damn it! How are we going to make money? Well money or we won't which is what they did with this? So yeah a remake was considered but it was thought how do you really beat the original? You do a prequel and you make it mostly the same I was gonna say this is this is an uphill battle because the original, you know, not successful at the time It has become a cult classic. Yeah, and now you have do, you have to force awakens it before the force awakens. You have to make a movie that is a follow-up,

you know, 30 years later, that is also a prequel, that is also essentially a remake for all the people who didn't see the last one. Yes. And they did all right. It's okay. It's okay, isn't it?

It's pretty okay. I'll tell you this, James, for a movie that, you know, was filmed in around 2010, they did a very good job, I think tell you this James for a movie that you know was was filmed in around 2010. Yeah, they did a very good job I think you know production wise Cinematography wise and like character actor wise to make it feel like it's set in 1982 I agree with the exception of one guy and you already know which guy it is But it's one actor who's the most 2010 guy who's ever existed Wait, I don't

He's got a fight, you know, he's got a face that just screams. He knows what an iPod Nano is It's Eric Christian Olsen. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, and this is not a knock on him I think he's great But he he did a lot of like teen comedies and movies and TV shows in the late 90s to like the early 2000s And then to my eye, he dropped off the map, but I can tell you without looking it up, I would bet you $100 that he has spent the last decade working on a wildly popular TV drama

that I just have never seen. I literally just looked it up. He's on Blue Bloods or he's on... No, no, he was on NCIS Los Angeles from 2009 to 2023. I knew it. Because you can't let that charisma go to waste. No, you've got to put it somewhere.

But he could have just gone. No. He either retired or he's done that. And good on him. Good on him. God, he does know what an iPad is. But like by contrast, I don't think Joel Edgerton knows what an iPod looks like now. Absolutely not.

So everybody else has got that look, you know what I mean? Probably lives in Belen or some shit. I bet he does. Right? Or, um, Romsey. Oh my God, do you reckon? He lives in Romsey.

God, he has to pop into LA every now and then, but he's not happy about it, is he? His heart's in Romsey. Ha ha ha. So yeah, also I'm impressed with the casting in terms of they got a bunch of actual Norwegians. Yeah, well see that is also the, that would be the difficulty of this movie of course, because it's set in the remote Norwegian base, you know, there's a contrast, the American

base in the first movie, but you're gonna make an American movie that's mostly, it's all Norwegians? You can't do that. You gotta have some Americans. You gotta contrive a way for some Americans to be in there. Exactly, I think also, and this is by design because they chopped a bunch of stuff out of this, they are fairly interchangeable.

A bunch of the character stuff has been edited out for brevity, which I don't think does it any favors, but also there's too many of them. Right. I think there's too many people in this in general. I mean, you need a bunch of guys to explode randomly. Yeah, true.

To just burst open and just... Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. In the book there's... The original book. Oh, the book, here we go. Here we go. There's 27. And I think they thought, what if we did something like that?

But I think, however many is in the first one, 10, 12... You mean the original book 27 dresses. Yes, that's right. Yes. God, she knows what a bloody iPad is, doesn't she? Oh, you bet. Yeah. But of course, Mary Elizabeth Winstead is great. Yes, that's right. Yes god. She knows what a bloody iPad is doesn't she? Oh, yeah, but of course Mary Elizabeth Winstead is great. Great. She's inspired by Alan Ripley, but she's just Kurt Russell's character She is yeah does all the stuff the tests the paranoia, you know running the show. I love her I think she's great. I think they kind of split duties of her and and Joel Ederton. Like they each got half of the Kurt Russell character.

Well there's a lot to it. Right? There's, you know, there's even a moment right at the end. Where they hold hands and they pour a glass of whiskey onto a computer together. Yes, exactly, that's right. But there's a moment where they're both in like one of those snow cats together.

And Joel Edgerton's like, and he's got a real Kurt Russell. Yeah. Like the vibe of when Kurt Russell goes, you know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely. Speaking of Kurt Russell, they used his height as an estimate when rebuilding the Norwegian camp to be like how big everything is. Yeah, because they obviously didn't have exact specs. Also the Norwegian camp in the original movie, it's just the burnt out sets from the one

that they used, the main one. They's just the burnt out sets from the one that they use the main one They just filmed all that stuff at the end also, as you probably know this was fraught with disaster and danger and Interference I didn't know that well as you now know this is fraught with disaster and danger and interference and the dog knows it Because she's barking away out there Mason It was originally set for release in April of 2011 But the studio demanded extensive reshoots which included new CGI effects, re-editing scenes for a possible PG-13 release which didn't happen and an entirely different climax and resolution.

Ok. It feels like they've cleaned it up. There is a moment where one of the men who's suspected of being the thing is shot to death and he was the thing. Yeah. You know what I mean? Whereas in the previous one, of course, as we mentioned, Kurt Russell shoots a guy he thinks might be the thing and he wasn't the thing. He was a guy. So now Kurt Russell's just a murderer. Like I don't, they wouldn't take those chances in a modern movie now, I don't think.

You're probably right, yeah. I think in terms of some of the reveals about who the thing is and isn't are good. There's a moment in the helicopter where Joel Edgerton's flying him out and one guy is sick and you're like, oh, he's the thing. He's got thing sickness. He's got thing fluenza.

It's gonna be him, isn't it? But then it's the other guy. Yeah, but it's the other guy. And the thing about that is, and all the transformations, they were originally done practically. Well, I was gonna say that, that is the key to this

because obviously the previous one, the 80s one is so beloved because they went all out on these bizarre practical effects and if you're going to do the movie again, you either supersede those or you don't bother. And so what you're saying here is that they tried it practically initially and do we know what any of that looked like? Yeah, there is some of it some behind-the-scenes footage of it and I remember seeing an interview with one of the people who worked on it because they use like cable-operated animatronics and the idea was also when you did that on set you get a better performance because you know obviously that's happening

Yeah in real time. You spook the actors and they go ah And they were going to use some CGI to kind of add some tentacles and some, you know, some bits and pieces. Tentacles and testicles and so forth. Exactly. All the ickles you need. Icicles. All the ickles you need in Arctic, yeah. All the ickles. A lot of ickles out in the cold.

But apparently the audience response to the test screening was that it looks too much like an 80s horror movie. Oh no! And the studio felt the same, but that's the point of something like this. Well not in 2010, 2011. You wanted 2010 guys and you wanted 2010 effects. State of the art guys and effects. It really suffers. I mean I didn't hate it on a rewatch. No I didn't hate it. It's too fast as well. The way they explode and sprint I think takes away from it. There's a couple of good ones when like the hand drops off and it scatters away. But also I feel like they just went we're not going to innovate here.

And that makes sense. You want the thing, you know, to be internally consistent. You want it to correlate with the old The Thing. But I think also they maybe didn't, it felt like they were afraid to do anything new. Like the arm coming off and becoming its own little monster. Like a spider head. It's the spider head thing again, right? You know?

I mean, you know... I thought a lot of it was fun, you know, like you mentioned the guy in the helicopter when the path of his head comes off and like... It looks good till he completely explodes and then I think it's like a bit wonky. Seems a little fast. Yeah. I think it's in an era where...

I think it's in an era where, well, two things gonna happen. One, they had to rush it and put it over the top of something else. And effects like this, they're not quite there. And I think that makes a huge difference. I mean, there's a moment where a woman who's got like a mouth torso was like sprinting down a corridor. And I'm just like, it doesn't, it doesn't feel right. There's something about this which isn't, doesn't quite come together.

Something that I did appreciate I think there is a moment where the thing starts to meld with another yes person and I thought that effect was quite good Yep, you know, we kind of see its absorbing ability. That was cool and spooky I thought it's pretty cool and spooky But I mean, of course you could just do that with they did a rubber mask and to to rubber masks and stick them together That's what they initially did and they had a kind of roll over the real guy and CIS Joe Sure And yeah

I think also the thing about the original thing and Rob Botton who did the effects on that he was really clear that you do A lot of these in the dark and it seems as if and maybe that's why people didn't respond to it a lot of these Effects and changes are done in broad daylight or under pretty intense lighting So maybe that's why they thought oh this doesn't look real because you can really see that it's not quite the same as the original. I don't know. But of course, there are a bunch of reshoots on this, including up to two weeks before the film opened in theaters in October to when it was pushed.

This was due to the studio's last minute demands and included additional CGI and post-production effects right up to 24 hours before it was released theatrically. 24 hours? This was due to the studio's last-minute demands and included additional CGI and post-production effects Right up to 24 hours before it was released theatrically 24 hours. Yeah, it's pretty I don't know I Can see why it is the way it is. Yeah, right, huh? but I think there are there is some stuff in here, which is sort of new and also sort of Go on like Harkin's back to the original. Oh it Harkin's back. I'll tell you one thing that Harkin's back. Both research bases have clearly bought all their equipment from the same guy. It's Crazy Dave's Discount Flamethrowers that work until you really need them to work.

Then they break down and then you jiggle the tubes and the gaskets and stuff and then they work again but it's too late and stuff. You been there? You been there? What's the other stuff? You know. Probably like firewood. Yeah, and mittens and stuff. You been there? You been there? What's the other stuff? You know, um... Probably like firewood. Yeah, and mittens and stuff.

Mittens, yeah. Yeah, yeah, they have all that stuff. All that stuff, all the good stuff, yeah. Yeah, one of the things I think which is a callback to the original, you know how they had the blood test, which is basically just, it's not a blood test, they just basically put a hot paperclip into a thing. It's the hot paperclip test. Yeah, that's right.

They're doing a dental check. Sure. Yes. See who's got fillings because the thing can't replicate organic matter. I mean, thank God for poor dental hygiene. Absolutely. From the 60s, 70s, 80s. I say that every day. You love it. And also in confirming that the thing can't replicate inorganic things, including earrings, that means that Child's is not the thing. Because he has an earring at the end when he rolls in, you can see it. I mean the thing you'd think could put it in. Yeah, hey this was on the other guy, better put it in there. I guess not.

The thing's such a dumbass. It really is. It's culture can build that incredible CGI spaceship, but it can't figure out what an earring is. No it really can't figure out what an earring is no really can't idiot god actually that's one bit which is different and I didn't mind so it culminates in they go back to the ship and that's not just the same ending again I mean it kind of is but they go to the ship and you get to see this alien

craft isn't it amazing in the previous one the thing was just trying to rebuild that it's just like a sorted pots and pans Yeah, man, that's really gonna work. I reckon that'll really get you out of the Milky Way galaxy Yeah, you dumbass TV antenna at a microwave dinner or whatever The remnants of the chess wizard computer. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but yeah, I thought oh, that's right. They go to the ship That's cool. That's a bit different but then you get you know a terrible looking CGI monster with that guy's face on it and Cubes so the cubes part, you know where there's cubes when it's a big holographic Tetris infinity or whatever That was gonna be the original monster. How do you mean like the creature that piloted the ship? Oh got there He's like a Tetris. He's like a big hologram Tetris? No, they put the Tetris over the thing.

They built something and it harkens back to the book like it's blue and whatever. Here's a picture of it. Lawrence will put it in. Right, just a description, just the paragraph. No, no, no, you gotta put in a picture, Lawrence. You gotta draw the picture. No, Lawrence.

Place in the description from the book. Just Google it. Is it blue man or whatever? So wait, does that suggest that the, has the thing hijacked this spaceship then? Is the pilot of the spaceship a different species than the thing? Okay. Is the thing like a like a possum? That's just that's just in the air ducts or something? Okay, so I'm glad you asked that because let's talk about the thing and I can explain this. Because we still don't know. We still don't really know. We've done two and a half of these videos, including the old one where the guy just gets

set on fire. Yep. Where the Frankenstein gets set on fire. Yes, that's right. And we still don't really know what this guy's deal is. No. So the original form is not the original form of the thing, of that blue monster, right? And the other thing that's kind of been determined is, and we talked about this last week, it's

not a hive mind. It can communicate separately, but it has to come together and then it shares knowledge. It's almost like multiple men from Marvel. Okay, now you're talking my language. You know it. So yeah, they were going to have a bit at the beginning that was different, which would have shed light on how the ship got there. So there's going to be a prologue where the alien pilot purposefully crashed the ship onto Earth. By the way, aim for the sun, idiot. What are you doing?

I don't know. It's only 93 million miles away. Yeah, man. Come on. Easy. Steering wheel slightly to the left. You'll get it. It's fine. It's really big. It's huge, mate. You can't miss it.

Which would basically mean that it kills itself. And then another alien on that ship, which was turning into the thing, exits, gets frozen, and that's the one that's found. Okay, sure, sure, sure. If that's found. Okay, sure, sure, sure. If that makes sense. Yeah, okay, sure.

Yeah, it's kind of like the start of Alien vs Predator Requiem. It is absolutely like that, yeah. Here's some footage. It's just a black screen. Let's play the whole thing. Okay. It's just black though. It is really-

Can't see a god damn thing. Difficult. Okay, so I'm getting a picture. It is kind of like the Alien Xenomorph. I mean, not really, but it's spreading. It's spreading like a picture. It is kind of like the alien's anamorph. I mean not really but it's it's spreading It's spreading like a virus Yeah, I imagine it and people have kind of posited this theory before that I think it's like a primordial kind of like swamp amoeba kind of thing

Okay, sure and then it's slowly evolved by getting into different creatures Okay over the over potentially millions of years, right? I think its original form would probably be a sludge On a sludge yeah, and they could have called it the sludge. Yeah, you know yeah, which is a good name for a movie Don't you think I think it's true. Yeah. Yeah, so I mean I saw again I get the sense that again it yeah, it didn't build this spaceship. It's sort of no it's it's uh yeah Like you said, it's it's a possum. It's a possum And not a nice one like in Australia.

No. One of the mean ones like in America. One of the mean American ones, rooting around in the garbage cans. Yeah. I think it's interesting also, at the end it's revealed that Joel Edgerton is also the thing,

because he doesn't have his earring in. I mean, we never see it turn into the thing. No. She does set him on fire and he goes, ah, and then she goes, I'm leaving. He does scream like the thing though, a little bit, but that just might be the scream of a man on fire. Yeah, I mean yeah, and maybe he's just picked up its accent He's been around it too long, but also yeah, he

Hey before you kill me let me do my thing impression But he does go for the wrong ear But also like if the thing absorbs you and gets all your knowledge you'd think it would know to not reach for that ear That's true. Or you could just be like, it fell out when I was tackling the thing. Yeah, being a hero. Being a hero, being a big hero into a rebellion.

Yeah, I don't think that's enough of a tell. Yeah. You might be like, hey, I switch ears sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, I'm a rebel. I switch ears with the earring, depending on what bar I'm in. Yeah, he's cool as hell.

And I think also there is a little bit of him in that, and not just the thing where we're in terms of his reaction Like it is kind of like a oh shit almost like he didn't even know didn't even know yeah Which I which I quite like yeah, we talked about the video game. We are gonna talk about the video game Whoa right now. No before that we have to do trivia thing 2011. Whoa, can you say this director's name? thing 2011 well can you say this director's name Abel it Matthias van Henning oh sounds Norwegian oh I see I can you say and we'll put him on his name on the screen it's uh Matthias van wow I can't say that

Matthias van I'm gonna say it's Matthias van Heinenen I can I can look up like Heineken but without the K like He didn't know I'm gonna say it's Matthias van Heinenen All right, do I'm gonna do a pronounced thing? Sure. Here we go Now that's wrong nothing What would you even the distress bacon used in this is very similar to the one used for the Icarus one in the movie sunshine Whoa, you love that movie. That's a great movie. We both love it's the best movie In the movie Sunshine! Whoa, you love that movie. That's a great movie, we both love it.

It's the best movie! I remember it being pretty good. I remember it being the best movie. Your constant banging on about it means I don't want to revisit it. We should do A Caravan of Garbage, which is just best movies of 2007. Okay. And then we can do a trilogy of films and it's just Sunshine three times. Wow.

You into that? Yeah. Cool. Uh, Who Can It Be Now? Men At Work is in this. Sure is. Australian classic. And it's great because it's like, who can it be now? Who's the thing? Yeah, that's right can it be now men at work in this sure is Australian classic It's great because it's like we're gonna be now. Who's the thing? Yeah, that's right. It's a metaphor. Yeah Yeah, yeah, do you think that's probably the man from Brussels?

You think so six foot four and full of muscles. He had a lot of muscles. I'm saying that guy Yeah, too many muscles. Do you think sauce the thing? Oh, you think he was all yeah. Yeah could have been Johnny Yep from the song be good Johnny. Yeah Now that's all the men at work songs I know. That's all there are. He's in scrubs. Yeah, I know. He's showing up.

Due to constant studio interference, director... Matthias van Heinenen. Junior. That's how I would have said it too. Had such a negative experience with the film that he claimed that he lost his passion for filmmaking and retired for nearly a decade. Damn. One of the issues was that he had to battle with five or six different studio executives

in charge of the project, which made it difficult to make any creative decisions. And you can definitely see that. There is of course- Also, it must be nice to just be like, no, I'm gonna quit my job for 10 years. Yeah. I'll just be fine.

We should do that. I couldn't. Would we be fine? No, we'd be destitute. What if he lived under a bridge? Oh, that'd be pretty cool. Be awesome. Yeah.

Caravan of garbage. From a big pile of garbage. This of course does have a spiritual sequel in Harbinger Down. Is it Not the Thing? 992? No no no no no no. That could be a sequel also I guess. Agreed.

So the creature effects supervisor on this Alec Gillis. No relation. You think you meant Alecc Guinness no relation to Alec Guinness Yeah, well that they are related interesting um so he crowdfunded and then made that film in a direct response to his special effects being Papered over in this okay. It's got Lance Hendrickson Apparently, it's all right. There's no D in Henrickson. It's got Lance Henrickson. Thank you. There's no D in Henrickson, Mason. I know I've been telling you for years. I haven't seen it. I've been meaning and watch it It does have a much lower budget than this. Okay, but that's bad But apparently it's it's got a lot of good redeeming qualities and a lot of gross stuff probably probably yeah

Anyways in terms of box office on a budget of 38 million dollars. It made 31.5 It's a low budget. Yeah. Even for like, I guess it's pretty high for like a, you know, closed, you know, limited number of sets, horror movie, but you know. Yeah. You think it'd be more around the 60 to 80? Yeah.

But are you forgetting that it looks bad for a lot of it? Oh yeah. But are you forgetting that it looked better and then they put more over the top of that to make it look bad, so that adds to the money. I am forgetting that, yeah better and then they put more over the top of that to make it look bad so that adds to the money? I am forgetting that, yeah. That's a good point. But of course if you are looking for a direct sequel, we talked about the comic books last

week. But there is of course a thing, video game, which takes place directly after not this movie because then that's the thing, but the original thing. Came out in the early 2000s. So are you a new guy? Are you a rookie that's shown up? McCready is in it. It's like a squad based shooter.

There's moments where you do interrogations and who's going to be the thing. But I believe there's moments in that where you shoot a guy who will end up being the thing but you lose the game for it. Because you don't know he's the thing yet. No. I think you should be able to do that, right though? I think so. But I guess it would throw out the rest of the game if you just shoot everybody at the start. Yeah

Yeah, I've got all the suspects in a room save game shoot them all in turn see which one is the thing absolutely you win 1,000 points congratulations you not thing Yeah, I've played a little bit of it. I like it. It's it's not it's it's a game That would never make now they should put that instead of the Nintendo seal of approval. It's just a little picture of you and you begrudgingly going, I like it. I like it. I like it. Again, it's like I put it in the same category as there's a game based on the Great Escape. They just wouldn't make that now. It just wouldn't happen. And I just think it's a fun

little thing that they did that consider though great escape life service game Oh my god every said just a new season every handful of dirt that you did you push through the bottom of your trousers? Yeah, that's right. Oh my god. Yeah, I would love that great escape skins in fortnight You know Steve McQueen. Mm-hmm jumping around on a let's let's put him on a Segway Queen jumping around on a... let's put him on a Segway instead of a motorbike. And he's building walls around him and suddenly like, oh no, this is the opposite of what I wanted. How do you feel about the idea of a sequel to the original thing though? I would love it.

Coming back to it. Yeah. Because it was reported in 2023 at the Texas Frightmare Weekend that John Carpenter said there would be a sequel. Okay. But. Go on. At Nat Brehmmer, he went on Twitter and he said, alright, so I was there.

He wasn't even asked about the sequel. He asked who was the thing at the end and said, I've been sworn to secrecy. There might be a thing too. I don't know if there will be, but maybe. It was so offhand and such a non-announcement. Yeah. So yeah. I mean it's the same idea of when they say to a, you know, do you want to be in a Marvel

movie? Yeah, I would take that role and that money. I certainly would. Do you want there to be a sequel to your movie? Yeah, if they gave me a lot of money and I had a good idea, yeah I would. John Carpenter talks all the time about how people make Remake and then and make sequels to his movies including Halloween and he's what does that thing? He said he just puts his hand out and then somebody puts a check in it or whatever. Thank you very much Yeah, that's right. I don't care about the Halloween kills trilogy or whatever. It's called, but I'll take your money

Yeah, he'll do it good for him. Good for him. He goes back to gaming. Yeah, man, presumably great escape fortnight him. Good for him. And then he goes back to gaming. Yeah man. Presumably Great Escape Fortnite. Which is real. I forgot that he loves gaming doesn't he? He loves gaming. What a legend. God. Just living his best life. I agree. He could retire for 10 years couldn't he? Yeah. Must be nice. Must be nice. I mean he doesn't get to live under this bridge. Wow this has been an incredible look at the thing trilogy Don't you think? Yes! Over two videos I agree! Yeah, but the thing is you can actually see these videos early at Big Sandwich.co

We've made that mistake many times in this video I agree But it was deliberate Yeah, no we meant it Here's a hint towards next week Ah! So yeah if you head over to Big Sandwich What was it?

Ah, we're doing the Rusty Crow History trilogy Ah! Yeah Nice Or maybe just historical epics I don't know, we'll figure it out Okay great What was it? We're doing the Rusty Crow History Trilogy. Ah! Nice. Or maybe just historical epics. I don't know. We'll figure it out. Okay, great.

Thanks everyone grab that champion guys. We'll see next week boy Which of us was the thing? Well, I wasn't the thing I also wasn't the thing. Oh, that's kind of a boring reveal isn't it? Yeah? Well, that's not real though. Yeah, could we say that guy walking past outside is the thing? Yep. Hey, idiot!

Way to be the thing, idiot! You suck! Get a job that isn't being the thing. Yeah. Get a job, but that's coming from two guys under a bridge. Bleh!
