--History--

After the success of The Thing, a mini-sequel was created, used to fill in the plot-lines from the film. However, this is not considered a true sequel, and Film Gate Studios sought to work on one.

After Rokas Valadka left the business and sold Film Gate to La! La!, it was put on hold. Soon after, fans complained that La! La! were not doing anything with Film Gate's projects, and were afraid they would never see the light of day.

However, when Film Gate was bought by Perfect Dark Ltd., The Thing 2 was thrust back into production. A script was written, and an official synopsis was revealed, saying:

"After the events of The Thing, John Milaukee and Timmy Mallett are caught killing The Thing's human body by the police, and are sent to RockFort Asylum. But when The Thing returns to kill the two in their Asylum, John, along with Timmy's half-sister Valerie Belucci and Asylum guard Bobby Hosenstein, must retrieve Timmy from the Maximum Containment Ward and escape, while The Thing lurks in the shadows, waiting. Plotting..."

The movie is set to be released in June 2011. A third and final movie in the trilogy, is already written, entitled The Thing III: SALVADOR.
