The sequel would have picked up very closely after the end of the reboot.
Back in 2011, Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. released The Thing, which served as both a reboot of and prequel to John Carpenter's The Thing, which itself was a remake of 1951's The Thing from Another World, which was an adaptation of the 1938 novella"Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell. In other words, the 2011 film wasn't the first take on a replicating alien infecting an Antarctic research station, but it did earn the chilliest reaction from audiences and critics.
Given how beloved John Carpenter's 1982 film is, van Heijningen Jr. had his work cut out for him, as it is definitively a prequel to the events of that movie, but it also replicated a number of plot points and featured many similar components. There are a number of factors that contributed to the film's underwhelming reception, with the comparisons to the Carpenter film being among them. Specifically, the 1982 film featured special effects from Rob Bottin, which were not only impressive at the time, but continue to be regarded as some of the most gruesome and effective practical effects in any horror film.
