Bill Paxton sure is! Bullz-Eye got a chance to talk to the "Big Love" star, who revealed he has pitched an idea for a 3D sequel to Twister to producer Kathleen Kennedy. The original was released in 1996 and earned $494.5 million worldwide.

Paxton told the site that the idea for a sequel came as a result of a trip that he took to the Ozark Mountains last spring:

"I flew into St. Louis with my buddy Scott Thomson, who played Preacher in 'Twister,' and we rented a car and drove down to southeastern Missouri, into the Ozarks," said Paxton. "We spent the night, and the next morning we got up and we started tracking the trail of the most famous tornado that ever hit the country, which was the Tri-State Tornado of 1925. It still holds all of the records. It was called the Tri-State because it was a mile wide when it came down from the sky on the afternoon of March 16, 1925, and it was a rural area, but, boy, before it was through, it crossed the Mississippi, it cut across southern Illinois, where it hit a lot of towns. The biggest one was Murphysboro, which was... it literally looked like Hiroshima after it hit. And then it went across the Wabash, into Indiana, staying on the ground three and a half hours and cutting a damage path 219 miles long, killing about 700 people. There's actually footage that I found in Murphysboro at their historical society. They had footage from a biplane that the government sent down, just to do aerial footage of all of the destruction and the damage. So we just did that to kind of get some ideas, and from that I kind of extrapolated an idea for a sequel. And I kind of put that together into a format, and now we're kind of waiting to see if that's going to move forward. That would need Steven Spielberg's blessing, ultimately, and they probably won't take it to him 'til there's real studio interest, but I think the 3D applications of that could obviously be pretty amazing.

You know, even though the original was in no way a classic...a 3D sequel just makes sense and would be pretty awesome to see.

See to me, I can't stand 3D. It does absoultley nothing to push the story further along. With visuals and sound there are aspects that push the story forward and pivot the movie. With 3D the most you can do is just put gimicky things so some can scream:"Oooooo a leaf came out at me!"

This just makes me sad because now that Avatar did well every company thinks that being 3D will make them boat loads of money, "if the movie sucks that they make it most likely will not" but Studios never learn.

To me this 3D thing is a gimmick and I just hope it dies out quickly. But sadly that may not be the case.

Facepalm.

Not necessarily. Just because one film does it well, and makes money does not mean it will be there forever. It's a possibility. But I just don't want it, why waste the money so you can have little things in the foreground? It's like a kid screaming for attention.

I'm sure for the next few years we will see it a lot, but time will tell if this sticks I guess. To me though from now on I will see most movies in 2D and hopefully they continue to option it.

You know...contrary to what hollywood seems to think, NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS A SEQUEL OR PUT IN 3D!

3D in Movies = Wildcat Offense in football

Will Helen Hunt be in it?

The first one was entertaining but does Not need a sequel.

I would laugh my ass off if they tried to get Phillip Seymour Hoffman(sp?) to return as his character and he just laughs in their face.

 

[Symbiotic]

I'd watch a sequel to Twister. I agree with Figs about Hoffman. He's a bigger deal these days than he was then. I could see him turning it down.

I would be shocked as hell if he decided to do it for fun. Now that I think about it though...he did do Mission Impossible 3.

As for Helent Hunt, she isn't doing much these days as far as I know. I could see her coming back.

''I gotta go...we got cows....in 3-D!"

I know. Its just enough already. Just cause you have the technology doesn't mean you need to use it. People complain about remakes, when infact they should be complaining about everything being 3D'ed.

 

[dark_b]

the reason they want everything in 3D is because the tickets are more expensive.

so ask again. why are you suprised?

Yes, but just cause Avatar makes a crap load of money, doesn't mean every single other movie will. I'm waiting for them to make dramatic period pieces in 3D soon.

ice age 3D did a lot more because of 3D.

Of course she will be. It would be the worst decision in movie studio history not to try and market this face:
