At this year's virtual edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival, John Carpenter was awarded the lifetime achievement award and discussed his career in a must-listen masterclass.
During the career-spanning segment, Carpenter revealed that he could be teaming with Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions to develop a reboot of his 1982 cult classic The Thing, and now Variety has confirmed that the project is indeed in the "early stages" of development.
