John Carpenter's 1982 classic "The Thing" is among the most acclaimed horror movies of all time, so the 2011 remake faced a lot of pressure. Perhaps nobody felt as much as Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who knew her and her co-stars had a lot to live up to, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Despite the pressure of remaking a cult classic, Winstead, one of the most popular up-and-coming stars in Hollywood, did not hesitate to take the lead role of Dr. Kate Lloyd.

"I just don't feel like that's really representative of women as a whole," she told the news source. "This was the kind of role that to me was the kind of thing I was looking as a filmgoer to see on screen."

The movie opened up on October 14 and also starred Joel Edgardton as the other leader of a Norwegian research team that stumbles across a shape-shifting alien buried in the Antarctica ice.

With Halloween just around the corner, horror movie buffs may want to check out some of the best remakes of all time including "Halloween: Resurrection" and "Dawn of the Dead."
