I can't find anything solid regarding whether or not this is a remake or a sequel.
This has been bouncing around for a couple years now. From a recent interview with John Carpenter:
Q: Have you been approached about any other remakes?
JC: Yeah I’m always approached about doing them. I always thought there would be a great remake in The Thing. If you remember there was a comic book version put out by Dark Horse comics that was a sequel and boy was that great. They could have just done that. The way they drew it too was pretty great.
Q: Wasn’t there talk about a Sci-fi Channel movie version of it?
JC: And they have been developing it but I don’t know. That’s been a long time. I don’t know.

I'd be surprised if it ever happens. JC's "The Thing" is my favorite horror film of all time, so any talk of sequel's/remake's/etc makes me nervous. The Dark Horse comics were pretty cool, so if they developed that I wouldn't mind. Just don't try and improve upon perfection by doing a remake... PLEASE.
