The original Howard Hawks Thing and the John Carpenter version are some of my favorite movies of all time. The creature design in the Carpenter version is just so insanely imaginative....the head turning into a spider...still blows my mind.
Got interested and did a little research, seems the last major thing he worked on was certain parts of Game of Thrones. He's 61 now, and prefers to stay off social media and doesn't really do interviews. Semi-retired.
I was shocked to see how many films he has worked on that I was unaware of. Big stuff.

Rob Bottin was only 23 years old when he made those effects... unreal talent.
I do wonder whatever happened to him?
I don't know.
