The Thing Trailer: Not Sure If Want

We're living in an age of remakes, reboots and unnecessary sequels/prequels in recent years...And I have to say that this trailer kind of hit nerve with me. This supposed prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 cult classic, 'The Thing' was in my opinion, an incredibly memorable movie about paranoia and fear of the unknown. An alien lifeform that could take the shape of and act like anything we consider terrestrial, including humans...A threat so great that it needed to be contained and destroyed at all costs, lest it reach civilization and cause unspeakable damage.

A few things I'd like to bring up about this trailer that are both encouraging and disconcerting, after the break.
