Is There A Sequel To John Carpenter's "The Thing" In The Works?

Question

Or maybe a remake?

Answer 1

To add to cookie cutter's answer, if it's a sequel you're looking for, you might want to try living it instead of watching it. Yes I'm serious, Orlando's Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure has an attraction every Halloween that lets you find out what happened to the last two characters and continues the storyline.

Also there's an in-depth feature on The Thing in this issue of Rue Morgue:

Which should have any info you've ever wanted about The Thing. ;-)

Answer 2

First to be a sequel, but http://upcominghorrormovies.com announce a couple weeks ago that it would now be a remake instead. I'd prefer a sequel. It's still going to be a tv mini-series though, I believe.
