"Prodigious artist visits old artist in his home"

I wouldn't get my hopes up. Carpenter's a cool guy, word probably got out he liked Peele's work and Peele obviously decided to give the old man a visit.

BTW : Carpenter is still rockin' on bandcamp with his son.

I didn't know John carpenter was still around, I guess I don't follow social media.

Anyways: what a funny time to see this as I had just taken a break to get a soda while watching Assault on Precinct 13 when I read this.

Dude isn't even that old, he just looks ancient.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

He is 78, which is that old.

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago

Tbf he looks like he's closer to 100.

I would love a "The thing" movie by Peele. I feel he'd do justice to it.

I love the way it's always assumed that a remake of The Thing would do some kind of service/disservice to John Carpenter.

He made a fucking remake. If someone else does a remake, it's fucking whatever. Carpenter did a fantastic fucking remake, but it's still a remake.

Like if someone remade The Fly. Cronenberg did a fantastic job. Is it his fucking film? No. It was a remake.

The original The Thing is not a remake. I just recently watched the 1951 movie and it is very different from Carpenter's version. Both films are loosely based on "Who Goes There?" by John Campbell but they are independent interpretations of the source material.

Now do a collaborative project. That would be so rad.
