Not call it the thing 2, and not make it a sequel.
There's plenty of decent scifi horror stories that can be told that haven't been.

I wouldn't

It would be a suicidal endeavour. The first one is widely considered a perfect movie and literally nothing you could do for a sequel would even match, let alone improve it. Especially considering today's moviemaking trends (filters, colour correction, cgi up the ass etc). It just couldn't be done.

That's assuming you were honestly trying to make a good sequel. If you're working in current year Hollywood, you just puke up any old shit, slap The Thing on there for nostalgia bait then use Hollywood accounting when nobody goes to see it.

I was thinking about something like the dead space game but on earth. not directly related to the thing but something like that, in the future, at a major scale with lots of people turning into necromorphs (Carpenter wanted to make a dead space film but it's been on hold)

the void is a good spiritual sequel.

The thing learned to socialize and impersonated a human person. He now tries to build a new spaceship to flee earth and return to his race.

Wasn’t there a short story or something that explains its motivations

I wouldn't.

Dont know. But now it has a company and eats whoever will uncover his secret. And absorb competitor companies gets a new meaning. Hope Musk and Bezzo are not tasty looking!

Do you think the Thing has a normal appearance? Or is it just a mass of fucked up body horror in its space ship?
Was it even the owner of the ship or was did it kill the ships crew?

make it set in some wildly different scenario, like a school or something. and also don't call it thing 2 and keep the alien a surprise. actually i guess that's just the faculty nvm

Green coat is sus

I guess it always looked like an amoba. Than ate some higher species that landed there. Probably it wasnt his ship but some scientists collected him. And than tried to get home.

You simply know that a sequel would try to answer that shit instead of leaving it to the audience to imagine, ruining the concept.
Fuck modern hollywood. And fuck Ridley Scock

Why did they use the picture of the man with the light coming out of his face if it’s never in the movie?

i would watch this cute anime thing

How about the trans-Siberian railway?

Recently saw a made for tv movie called Phantoms (starring Ben Affleck of all people) about a very Thing like parasite/virus creature that, after consuming a whole small american town, basically starts to believe itself to be Satan, and calls forth a scientist so that he can be analyzed and his "gospel" can be spread.
Pretty fun little movie and I think something similar could work in the Thing franchise.
If not, do Homeworld: Cataclysm

Seeing how the spaceship came to earth I would say it's pretty clear it killed everyone on the spaceship. The only reason it didn't wipe mankind easily is because it fell on the fucking artic.

The Things
Thing
Another Thing
Thing Twice

The isolation is a big part of why the film works so well. The cast NEEDS to be cut off from the rest of the world for whatever reason. Maybe you could work a quarantine angle into it somehow?

The site is visited the next week after the events of The Thing happened because no one's picking up the phone.

Then some guys arrive, find McReady and the black guy frozen to death and everything exploded and burnt. They put the bodies in the helicopter to bring them to the morgue in another near base and leave. Then some exposition happens and we get to know the new characters and shit. At the morgue some guy is checking the bodies when suddenly the THING does its thing and assimilates him.

But now it is more clever, it waits and waits (this is the boring part, it will be critizcised when it comes out but will be praised 10 years later by retarded cult followers in Any Forums) nothing happens, maybe a homosex scene and then.. the Dr. 6 month's shift ends and is recalled back home.

There he arrives to his home and finds his wife having sex with another man, they both see him and panic and are a bit uncomfortable because of the situation, but he just smiles and in terrifying form assimilates them.

As it is now a sequel we need a new power, so The Thing now can separate and make new things we see this first with the patient 0 family then with his Dr. Collegues. By now the Thing has become pretty smart and has reached the right places in the right spots, now has control of the media, the science and military.

>Thingier
>More Things

Soon it starts making mandates on a new vaccine to cure Cancer or some shit and every one wants it because cancer = bad. But it's just concentrated Thing juice. Soon lots of people get assimilated except vaxxtards who refuse it but it is too late, they are rounded up by normal looking military men that put them in concentration camps to eat them.

By now it has complete control of the US, the president is one of the Things and starts appearing on tv making threats and going to war over petty shit. Then a full nuclear war happens and everything is lost. We see the good MC and his girl alone at the top of a hill, fade to black and a single gunshot is heard leaving the audience to piece together the clues left over the film to guess WHO WAS THING???

Thing on a Spring

>Thing Twice
The Thing infiltrating a K-pop group would be hilarious.
