Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
THE THING
Music Composed by
Marco Beltrami
(The Hurt Locker. Hellboy, 3:10 To Yuma, Scream)
Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by a crew of international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentally unleashed at this marooned colony, has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. It ...can look just like you or me, but inside, it remains inhuman. In the thriller The Thing, 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 (Mary Elizabeth 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 (Joel 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 Thing serves as a prelude to John Carpenter’s classic 1982 film of the same name.
Composer Marco Beltrami follows in the footsteps of one of his own musical heroes — Ennio Morricone, who scored the Carpenter classic — and contributes his own new terrifying chapter to the now-60-year legacy of THE THING.
Universal Pictures opens THE THING nationwide on October 14.

If he does some nice quieter string atonalism it will work. If he does his usual shtick with brass clusters and all that, it wont.

I just got an email from a mate tonight who says thus...
"I saw The Thing last week and it rocked
A really great prequel that filled in a lot of gaps from the mystery of the first film and is really well done
I won't spoil it for you suffice to say there are lots of nice 1982 touches"
I'll post my thoughts AFTER I've seen it. The recent APES film shows some things can be reimagined well enough.
That's encouraging, Kev! One of my mates is a massive fan of Carpenter's THE THING, I'll pass that on to him, he'll be made up!
I'm glad Beltrami's score is coming to CD, and echo the hopes of others that a reissue of the Morricone might be forthcoming.
Of course, both the remake and the prequel would've been even better if scored by Jerry Goldsmith.
