Just a quick update on The Thing prequel. After getting moved out of its April slot, and replaced by Fast Five, it now has a set release date. Universal Pictures has given it the much more appropriate fall date of October 14th, 2011. It will open next to another update, Footloose, as well as Paul W.S. Anderson‘s The Three Musketeers.

The Thing is directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. and stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Eric Christian Olsen. Check out my write-up and video reaction to the New York Comic-Con panel and footage here.
