Earlier this year, we heard that Ian Nathan, author of Alien Vault, Terminator Vault, Stephen King at the Movies, The Legend of Mad Max, and books about filmmakers James Cameron, Ridley Scott, David Lynch, Steven Spielberg, Tim Burton, Wes Anderson, the Coen brothers, the Coppolas, Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, and Clint Eastwood, is teaming up with CREATORVC, the production company behind documentaries like the In Search of Darkness trilogy, In Search of Tomorrow, and First Person Shooter to bring us a documentary called Aliens Expanded, a 4-hour examination of writer/director James Cameron’s 1986 classic Aliens. Digital copies of that documentary can be ordered at THIS LINK – and now it has been announced that Nathan and CREATORVC are continuing their working relationship with The Thing Expanded, a documentary that aims to be the ultimate companion to John Carpenter’s The Thing!
Copies of The Thing Expanded are available for pre-order through TheThingExpanded.com, and they say if you get in your order before September 2nd you’ll get your name in the credits. Fans will also get to join in “on a year-long expedition into the heart of John Carpenter’s masterpiece, taking part in 20+ hours of online events, including Q&As with the cast & crew of The Thing, before receiving your personalized copy of The Thing Expanded documentary. … Along the way, we’ll enjoy a year of live online Q&As with The Thing cast and crew, regular vidcasts that take a deep-dive into specific topics, and many other community events that will take us closer and deeper than ever into the world of The Thing.“
Here’s the information on the documentary: Written and directed by Ian Nathan (Aliens Expanded), The Thing Expanded will be the ultimate companion to John Carpenter’s The Thing, digging deep into the proverbial iceberg to enhance your viewing experience with new insights, stories, and revelations. Currently in the early stages of production, we have just completed our first and most important interview: John Carpenter was incredible and we can’t wait to share his insights and stories with you! As with our previous documentary, the critically-acclaimed Aliens Expanded – which boasted a cast that includes James Cameron, Sigourney Weaver, Gale Anne Hurd, and many more – The Thing Expanded will gather a who’s who of The Thing cast and crew as well as a supporting cast of top critics, commentators, film historians, and fellow filmmakers.
Through exhaustive analysis, we will break down fifteen crucial scenes chronologically, building up a picture of the film’s extraordinary power, its legacy, and the story of its making. Along the way, we’ll touch on many aspects, including: The Evolution of the Movie and Specific Scenes, including early versions of the script, production design, creature alterations, changes in dialogue, and cut scenes. – The Ensemble Cast, with every actor and character, from R.J. MacReady to the raving Norwegian rifleman, getting their moment to shine! – The Practical Effects, designed by the brilliant Rob Bottin. – The Fan Theories surrounding the characters, creature, and story that have kept viewers guessing to this day. – John Carpenter’s Influences, from the literary works of John W. Campbell Jr. and H.P. Lovecraft to the classic Westerns directed by Howard Hawks. – The Extended Universe, including the comics, games, unmade SYFY miniseries, Ronald D.

After Blumhouse and Atomic Monster’s M3GAN took audiences (and TikTok) by storm, plans to expand the artificial intelligence-centric horror property are in full swing with the M3GAN spin-off, SOULM8TE, on the way. According to Deadline, Evil Dead Rise actress Lily Sullivan will play the lead in SOULM8TE, a beautiful companion bot trying to help a grieving man cope with the loss of his wife.
In SOULM8TE, Sullivan’s artificial intelligence love bot becomes more when a man inadvertently turns the harmless droid into a deadly soulmate. While SOULM8TE is considered a part of the M3GAN universe, sources close to the project clarify that SOULM8TE is a more mature and risqué horror thriller. The project resembles ’90s domestic thrillers, such as Sleeping with the Enemy, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, and Dangerous Intentions. SOULM8TE revolves around characters different from those in M3GAN, so don’t expect to see the sinister playtime companion in the new film.
Kate Dolan (You Are Not My Mother) directs SOULM8TE after rewriting Rafael Jordan’s (Salvage Marines) original draft, which was based on a story by James Wan, Ingrid Bisu, and Jordan.
M3GAN was a surprise hit at the box office, with $181M worldwide over a $12M budget. Appealing to many as a sister film to Universal’s Child’s Play franchise, M3GAN got a significant boost in hype when the deadly doll’s dance moves went viral on social media. In the weeks leading up to the film’s release, every TikTok user with a sense of rhythm recreated M3GAN’s brief but hypnotic dance sequence from the movie. The M3GAN PR team even arranged for M3GAN dancers to pop up in crowded squares and local sporting events to recreate the dance for unsuspecting audiences. The dance became as popular as Jenna Ortega’s musical sequence from Tim Burton’s Wednesday, and the rest is history.
A M3GAN sequel is also on the way, called M3GAN 2.0. Allison Williams and Violet McGraw return for the follow-up film, which will arrive in theaters on June 27, 2025.
Are you excited about Blumhouse and Atomic Monster expanding the M3GAN universe with SOULM8TE? What do you think about Lily Sullivan playing the lead in SOULM8TE? Let us know in the comments section below.
