Art or money

1982 art because he followed the book more the version 1951

and there are very few similarities between this and 1951

2011 was about money however as they called it a remake and fans called it a prequel.  So they don’t know what they made and don’t really care.

Advertisements

 They all used posters and trailers. That’s they would show in movie and sci-fi magazines and newspapers around.  Poster and trailers would also be shown in the cinemas. The film of 2011 would also be able to use the Internet as the other film couldn’t, as the first web page was available in 1991. 9 years after The Thing 1982.

Distribution

The Thing 1951 and 1982 both come out months after the release of the US, as film is big and expensive to make. So they make enough for the US  and give them out to the rest to the world after they used them. However The Thing 2011 was released worldwide the same day as technology have made film distribution easier ands cheaper.

The plot for the film is that Lara try's to get the Spear of Destiny before Sergei Mikhailov ( Russian mafia boss) and Admiral Yarofev(Russian submarine captain that works for Sergei) (villains from one of the early games) does.

Lara croft will be played by Camilla Luddington this is because she is the voice of Lara in the game so fans can relate to her to the game more with don't work with the original films.

Mads Mikkelsen will play the role off Sergei Mikhailov  as he has the Russian boss look which is shown when he plays Hannibal in the TV show Hannibal .

Admiral Yarofev will be played by some on not famous as theirs few people I feel that could play his role that are famous actors.
