Action-Adventure Twister Reboot ‘Twisters’ | Universal Pictures

I really hope they make more it like the board game it’s based off of. Hollywood needs to stop re-imagining these IPs and stick to the source material.

Twister was based on a board game?

 

[samsnee]

Yes

Lee Isaac Chung’s ‘Twister’ Sequel Lands Summer 2024 Release

Twisters will swirl into theaters on July 19, 2024, the studio announced Tuesday. Word broke last week that the Oscar-nominated Chung, best known for directing Minari, was closing a deal to helm the event pic.

Adding to the film’s pedigree, Hollywood veteran Frank Marshall will produce. Warner Bros. is co-financing the project.

Chung will direct from a screenplay by Mark L. Smith, who co-wrote the adapted screenplay of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s The Revenant.

Wonder if they will be able to lure Helen Hunt back. The sequel will follow the daughter of her and Bill Paxton's characters.

The original film is a classic 90s disaster flick, but I dunno. Look what happened with ID4 2.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I want a movie from the twister's perspective. It's time for better twister onscreen representation.

Daisy Edgar-Jones in Talks to Star in Tornado Adventure Movie ‘Twisters’ From Universal, Amblin

The new story is not a sequel, nor is it expected to bring back old characters. The studio is describing it as a “new chapter.”

Edgar-Jones will star in the project as a former storm chaser who, after surviving a disastrous tornado encounter, now works a desk job. However, she will soon be forced to — you guessed it — go out into the breach once more.

Sources said that the hope is to bring Helen Hunt back, with a drama that focuses on the daughter she had with the character played by the late Bill Paxton. She has caught the storm-chasing bug her parents had.

She's about the correct age, I don't know if they're doing some mystery box **** for whatever reason or changed direction. You know, calling your movie Twisters implies that it is a sequel, like Alien to Aliens.

Helen Hunt’s ‘Twister 2’ Got Rejected by the Studio for ‘Potentially Shady’ Reasons, Says Co-Writer Daveed Diggs

It’s a shame no one from the original is back. Obviously Bill Paxton and PSH have passed on. But Helen Hunt should be in this.

It sounds like she wanted to direct herself (from a different script it sounds like), but Universal rejected her. Probably why she decided not to return for this - unless there’s a surprise coming. I assume they just tweaked this script and made it a loose sequel ala the first Jurassic World.

 

[Luigi]

Nice to see Brandon Perea in there.

 

[Stringer]

Likable cast.

 

[CaptainWagner]

that cast

 

[Deck Rickard]

That’s a pretty stacked cast. Looking forward to this.

Maybe a little Justice League preview too, with Superman (Corenswet), Hal Jordan (Powell) and Kyle Rayner (Perea) teaming up?

Why is this getting made? Nobody likes disaster movies anymore. And why is Universal making this? I though the first movie was under WB.

According to Wiki, Universal had international distribution, so maybe it was a joint production? As for why, it's a nostalgic property, that's all it takes for Hollywood these days. And with the director and cast, I'll be there Day One

It is but it's the opposite. Universal is the main studio and will release it domestically, while WB internationally.
