Consider this into the equation: Carpenter's version is more or less it's own thing as John wanted to directly adapt the novella whereas the '51 film was based off the novella. However, many people (myself included) have looked at John's and Christian's versions and came to the conclusion that The Thing (1982) was a sequel to the 1951 film. Meaning, if anything (and it certainly looks this way) this film is a remake of the Howard Hawks classic, which means it is in fact a prequel to the Carpenter film.

Also, it warms the heart that they are sticking to practical effects.
