The Thing is making a comeback to theaters, but it's not quite the same story you remember from 1982. Hitting theaters tomorrow, it still takes place in Antarctica, but now, Kurt Russell's lead is being passed down to Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and there's more external alien action to keep you jumping out of your skin. Hopefully it will stand up to the original classic that inspired so many other movies (and video games).
