Well, as with "Eight O'Clock in the Morning" vs. THEY LIVE, it'd be nice if someone filmed "Who Goes There?"
A man, as noted previously, can dream.
How can you improve on Carpenter or Hawks? Both of the original films are classics of science fiction / horror - but for completely different reasons.
Hollywood continues to eat its young.

Bryan's correct. Two good movies have been made already. They need to quit screwing around and give us something new.
No.
Technically, Bryan, Hollywood continues to eat "Who Goes There?", because that's where they're starting from in this case, rather than either previous incarnation. I'm not saying it's going to be brilliant - I doubt it'll top the Carpenter version - but at least it's not Platinum Dunes making it.
The motto in Hollywood has always been "Never beat a dead horse, but always beat a live one."
Poor beast.
