    CREATURE FEATURES, your one-stop shop for out-of-this-world movie & TV memorabilia, celebrates the art of screenwriting with our latest series of auctions featuring rare, unproduced, and hard-to-find screenplays!
    In this listing, we're offering a repro copy of the original screenplay for the 2011 prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 THE THING.
    This rare script was written by Ronald D. Moore, a skilled genre writer specializing in science fiction - he wrote for numerous STAR TREK series, won a Peabody for his work on the critically acclaimed BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, and more.
    Moore's comments on the script:
    "I did my drafts. They were happy. They have a director and, you know, it's the feature world and I'm not the key player so we just wait and see if they're going to greenlight it or not. I'm not the chef. I'm the short-order cook who comes in and does my thing and we'll see what they want to serve... i
    t's really a
    companion piece
    to the Carpenter version. We're telling the story of the Norwegian camp that found the Thing before the Kurt Russell group did, so it's very buried in the continuity [and] it's supposed to be the other story that you saw part of. So we didn't want to reinvent it. It was really much the opposite. We really wanted to have this flow seamlessly into what he did."
    Moore's script was eventually rewritten/replaced by a version by Eric Heisserer.
