I'm open to this but I have a problem with it. From wikipedia:
In the original, the thing could take over multiple hosts at the same time. It's separated parts could act independently. It's cells could take over a host and imitate it. Why change that?When an experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate joins the crew's pilot, Carter, to keep it from killing and imitating them one at a time, using its uncanny ability to mimic any life form it absorbs through digestion, and potentially reaching civilization.
