While the poster for the prequel/reboot of The Thing was pleasingly old school, the new trailer is old school in the worst way possible.

Alas! Scott Pilgrim muse Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Animal Kingdom star Joel Edgerton, you deserve better.

"Don't talk to anyone, don't touch anyone. Stay away from other people!" If the first trailer for Steven Soderbergh's Contagion is a little paranoid-inducing, maybe that's for the best. Once the birds start weaponizing avian flu for use on us humans, it's only a matter of time before the streets empty themselves of humanity. Jude Law's bubble boy suit isn't looking so silly now!

Well now, a gutsy marine corporal named Kelsey De Santis has posted her own video invitation asking Timberlake to accompany her to a different November 12 event in Washington, D.C. Check it out ahead!
