Lucy Hale There’s a new horror project coming, but it looks suspiciously similar to a sci-fi classic with an 85% rating Rotten tomatoes. Lucy Hale’s acting career began in 2003 when she competed in American Juniorsbut she rose to fame seven years later when she was cast as Aria Montgomery in Pretty Little Liars. Hale made her film debut in 2008 when she played Effie Kaligaris, Lena’s younger sister, in the comedy-drama. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Since then, Hale has participated in numerous TV and film projects across a variety of genres.
Lucy Hale first visited the horror genre in 2009, in Michael Storey’s film. Fear Islandwhich was released straight to video. His first theatrically released horror film was Scream 4in 2011, in which he makes a cameo appearance in the film-within-a-film-within-a-film in the opening scene. Hale later starred in 2018 Truth or darefollowed by Fantasy Island in 2020, a prequel and reimagining of the 1977 TV series of the same name. Hale is now gearing up for the release of the horror comedy F*** Marry Killbut she already has another horror film planned and it looks very similar to a John Carpenter classic.
Lucy Hale’s White Mars looks a lot like John Carpenter’s The Thing (and its prequel)
Marte Branco may have been too inspired by the thing
As reported by Deadline, Lucy Hale is now set to star in the next sci-fi horror film White Mars. Directed by Martin Owen and written by Matt Mitchell, Vicki Sargent and Roo Berry, White Mars takes place in an isolated Aquila Research Center in Antarctica. Hale plays Sammie, a microbiologist who, When a malevolent entity haunts the facility, she must fight to save her crewmatesbecause this entity wants to extinguish them all. White Mars is scheduled to begin filming in November 2024, but has no projected release date yet.
Despite few details known about White Marsthe film already looks suspiciously similar to John Carpenter’s 1982 sci-fi horror classic, The thing. Based on the 1938 novel Who goes there? by John W. Campbell Jr., The thing follows a group of researchers in Antarctica, including pilot RJ MacReady (Kurt Russell). When an extraterrestrial life form that assimilates and imitates other organisms arrives at the station, MacReady and his team are overcome by fear and uncertainty, as anyone could be “the thing” by posing as one of them.
Despite receiving negative reviews during its initial release, The thing is now one of the best sci-fi horror films ever made and gained a cult following. In 2011, a prequel of the same name was released, following vertebrate paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and the members of the Norwegian research station who found “the thing” first. Unlike Carpenter’s 2011 film The thing it was a critical and commercial failure.
How Martian White Could Succeed Where 2011’s The Thing Failed
2011’s The Thing prequel didn’t perform well
White Mars looks more like a version of The thing now with a microbiologist as the main character, but it could have performed much better than the one in 2011 The thing. The main problems with the 2011 prequel The thing were that it didn’t contribute much to the original film and was the same story but with different characters. White Mars can stand out, giving the malevolent entity haunting Sammie and company a proper origin and, most importantly, different qualities of the “thing”.
The purpose of the entity should also be different from that of the “thing”, and the ending could go in an entirely different, perhaps more optimistic, direction.
Although the film’s title implies that the malevolent entity is alien, there is a lot that can be done with an alien entity arriving on Earth. The purpose of the entity should also be different from that of the “thing”, and the ending could go in an entirely different, perhaps more optimistic, direction. It’s to see if White Mars I was really inspired The thing or if your first details were misleading.
