Monday The Sci-Fi Channel announced a long list of projects in development for broadcast in the 2004-2005 season-among the new shows announced was a new mini-series that will "re-envision" THE THING.

Here is how Sci-Fi Channel described the new THING mini-series:
"It's everywhere. It's anything. And it can't be stopped. SCI FI re-envisions the terrifying suspense classic, THE THING, which follows a team of American scientists who discover a bloodthirsty alien life form in the frozen expanse of Antarctica. Swift, stealthy and cunning, this shape-shifting monster assumes the appearance of its victims with the aims of earning the scientists' trust -- and decimating the group from the inside. Who can be trusted, and who is a threat?."
