1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Thing (2011)?
a.
The producers convinced Universal Studios to allow them to create a prequel to
John Carpenter
s
The Thing
instead of a remake, as they felt Carpenters film was already perfect, so making a remake would be like "painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa". However, the prequel still has the title of the original film, because they couldnt think of a subtitle (for example, "The Thing: Begins") that sounded good.
b.
The film is based on a memoir by
Slavomir Rawicz
depicting his escape from a Siberian gulag and subsequent 4000-mile walk to freedom in India. Incredibly popular, it sold over 500,000 copies and is credited with inspiring many explorers. However, in 2006 the BBC unearthed records (including some written by Rawicz himself) that showed he had been released by the USSR in 1942. In 2009 another former Polish soldier, Witold Glinski, claimed that the book was really an account of his own escape. However this claim too has been seriously challenged.
