I just ordered Biohazard and can't wait to read it as well. I'm writing b/c my mouth was agape after reading this post b/c, as you may or may not know, The Thing prequel is coming out soon and judging by the trailer and movie synopsis it's exactly as you described! It sounds like this prick stole your idea (and no doubt claiming it as his own). I was thinking of seeing this movie, but after reading this I have decided to boycott it! All my best to you and please keep writing!Mike Manninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17243194919656911160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-725547975483126570.post-71286310453972010862011-01-02T14:54:15.842-08:002011-01-02T14:54:15.842-08:00Now that The Thing prequel is really coming out, l...Now that The Thing prequel is really coming out, lets see if they did indeed hijack your ideas!DJ Mike Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370211597248586221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-725547975483126570.post-10428549788049663722009-12-17T12:40:19.047-08:002009-12-17T12:40:19.047-08:00Thanks for sharing this story, Tim.

I'm sure it'll get picked up at some point. <br /><br />I'm sure you already thought of this but what about the direction you gave concerning a prequel to The Thing... sounds to me like the guy planned to blatantly steal your take on it. He just HAD to write it down, never called, were it me I'd be curious to know if there was a renewed interest in doing a Thing movie, and what their line was on it. Could just be they intend to use your ideas. Though I realize you can't copyright ideas it seems to me that you ought to get some recognition if they indeed come out with a movie that has your twist. <br /><br /><br />The Act of Becoming Guy,<br />stevedenton79.spaces.live.com<br />Steve DentonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635075922088562444noreply@blogger.com
