New clip from The Thing shows a thing in an ice block

A new clip from The Thing has surfaced on MTV and it showcases Mr. Eko, er, Adwale Akinnuoye-Abaje, essentially staring at an ice block for 40 seconds. The last few seconds, however, are the meat of the clip as they reveal a flash of what the alien looks like as he bursts through the ice and through the roof.

I know most people are cynical about this remake/reboot/prequel/whatever and the use of CGI vs, practical effects, but I welcome any extension of The Thing universe. Plus it has Mr. Eko in it. Stop hating.
