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.
