If John Carpenter's legendary The Thing is going to get a revival, it should follow the blueprint set by Prey. Released in 2022, Prey was a shot in the arm for the Predator franchise. While the film embraces the key elements of the sci-fi action films that came before it, it also reinvigorated the premise by shifting focus to a Native American tribe in the 17th-century northern wilds. It was a clever idea, utilizing core concepts and iconic aspects of the franchise while exploring it from a fresh perspective.
