Hell some of the scenes in the trailer looked like the exact scenes in the original, so no way is it a prequel. I mean the dog in the cage , flame throwers ect..

Original trailer


Remake


Granted it looks like a decent remake, but I just don't get why Hollywood keeps redoing every damn movie instead of putting more original content out there. I think they have just gotten so far over their heads with movie budgets that they are just scared to risk it on anything new.
Remember the dog at the beginning of '82 The Thing? The one that was being chased by the helicopter and ended up at Kurt Russell's base? The new Thing movie is about what happened at that Norweigan base, that the dog escaped from. So its a prequel.
