Producer Marc Abraham tells Latino Review that he and John Carpenter are still developing a sequel to “The Thing” – only it’s not so much a sequel, as it is a prequel and the events of it will play out concurrently time-wise with the first film.

Now that’s new – in every interview he’s given, Carpenter’s referred to the project as a “sequel”.

"This is more of a prequel than a sequel, there is your exclusive. Its going to be taking place in the same time frame”, says Abraham, who’d obviously know.

The site says they asked Abraham if we are going to find out the origins of the alien and it landing on earth and he said:

“These are the events leading up to the 1982 film.”

Seems we’ll find out what happened to the Norwegian team. Finally.

And will CGI see the return of Kurt Russell’s character? Doubtful, but how cool would that be!?
