There are some rules which have no exception: It will rain on the day you plan a picnic in a London park; All young children will make that same face when they drop their icecream on the ground; And, at least one juicy morsel of movie news will get lost in the cascade of information that gushes from Comic Con in any given year.

2010 was no exception, but fear not - hot on the tail of news that a teaser poster has surfaced in Australia for Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.'s prequel to The Thing, we've relocated footage of our conversation with star Mary Elizabeth Winstead amidst the Scott Pilgrim line-up at this year's Con (coincidence, we swear!).

Click on the video below to watch the actress discuss the much debated issue of introducing a female character to the remote Antarctic setting, who out of herself and co-star Joel Edgerton got to be more like Kurt Russell, and which of them "kicks the most alien ass".
