Hop in the motortruck , shoulder strap in Dorothy , and keep an eye on out for the fly Bos taurus . Hollywood is getting back into the storm - chasing game with the film that lend the weather to the extreme , Twister . Deadlinereports that afterproducer Steven Spielberg“flipped ” out over a new script , his Amblin Entertainment is team up with Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. tomake a sequelto the 1996 smasher called … look for it … Twisters .
The Twisters script was write by Mark L. Smith ( The Revenant , Overlord ) and reportedly had Tron Legacy and Top Gun Maverick ’s Joseph Kosinski attached to address . He had to drop to make another picture show though and now the studio are in the cognitive operation of find a raw director . Among the gens on the shortlist arePrey ’s Dan Trachtenberg , Bumblebee ’s Travis Knight , and Free Solo duo Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vaserhelyi . Universal is hoping to have filming going by saltation 2023 . ( Of note , after the original tale went up , Trachtenberg denied it on Twitter . )
According to the swop , the plot will center on the daughter of Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton ’s fibre from the first plastic film who has taken up the phratry business enterprise of storm - chasing . The objective is for Hunt to return and recapitulate her role . Paxton , of course , tragically clear aside in 2017 .

Released in 1996 , Twister was a monster hitting andhas observe its popularity in the years that followed . I myself still quote it fairly frequently , whether it ’s the team talking about “ the finger’s breadth of God , ” Paxton ’s character as “ the Extreme , ” or getting the Van Halen song“Humans Being”stuck in my head . This brings to mind that , no matter how good the script is , it will be very difficult to match not just the energy of that first moving-picture show , but the supporting cast . Twister is all about the supporting cast . Cary Elwes as the villain ; Philip Seymour Hoffman , Alan Ruck , and Todd Field as a few of the chasing team ; plus Jami Gertz and Lois Smith — everyone is just so so safe .
But if Spielberg get it on the script and everyone is on board , a young Twister picture with modern - day exceptional effects ? We are ready to take the ride .
Update : 10/17/22 7:10 p.m. : We add up Dan Trachtenberg ’s public denial of his involvement in the cinema .
