The quality is pretty rotten so be advised before you view. If you want to hold out for the official trailer, we will be updating as soon as it becomes available.



Paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers as they’re infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet. Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up. When a simple experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew’s pilot, Carter (Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish.

The film will work as a prequel to the John Carpenter classic. If you ask me, it really sounds like more of a re-tread. But we will see. It's directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. and stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Dennis Storhøi, and Eric Christian Olsen.

I just watched the original yesterday!:) The Prequel is never going to top it, but it looks promising.

By the way if its based before the first movie, then what that chick is doing there?... I thought that back then they wouldnt give young girls this kind of jobs?

saw this earlier, but thanks for posting so we can all see Ror.

Looks like we're in an age of Predators style prequels, which is fine with me as long as they aren't Homages: The Movie. This looks pretty sweet.
