I would love to see it if this is true, The Thing is Carpenter's best horror movie IMO. I also think he has had a decent track record as of late, with Village of the Damned and Ghosts of Mars being the only ones that truly sucked.

Wasn't there supposed to be a clue hidden in the movie as to which men are
Spoiler:
things?

They are saying the story is false.

I'm not surprised john carpenter would want to revisit one of his past hits with a sequel since his films of late haven't been all that successful at the box office and sequels seem to be what the studios want nowadays,

But i am surprised he would sequelize the thing.
I mean the ending of the film is a bit apocalyptic. Carpenter himself even calls it that. So the idea of a sequel is kinda silly to me.

If any Carpie movie could be sequelized, I would see the fog 2.
A big china sequel would be fun, too.

From Cinefex:

The Thing 2: Filmmaker John Carpenter has gone on record, waxing philosophically to Australian Empire magazine, about his hopes and fears for a sequel to his 1982 remake of The Thing: "I have a great story for Part 2, which kicks off with the two characters left alive at the end of the first one. I'm interested in doing it. Unfortunately, I don't think Universal is. Well, it's interested in doing a sequel, but it's not interested in having me direct it! You know, the studio will end up getting some commercials hotshot to do it, and that'll be that. I don't care. I'm certainly not going to beg.... At least, though, The Thing has been really well received in its later years. That's a pleasant finger up at Universal, and a comforting thought in my later years."
