At some level, the unique plan for Twisters was to make a sequel to Twister, the 1996 catastrophe film that grew to become a shock smash, and the second largest movie of the yr, behind solely Independence Day. But plans modified, as they so usually do in Hollywood. Twisters continues to be taking place. It continues to be nominally linked to Twister. But apparently it’s not “a continuation of the original.”
That’s based on author Mark L. Smith, who penned the screenplay for the film for director Lee Isaac Chung. Smith revealed in an interview that he initially labored on the challenge with Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski, who had the primary pitch for Twisters. (Rumors from round that point had it that the film would comply with a daughter of the characters performed in Twister by Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt.) Then Kosinski dropped out to make an F1 film with Brad Pitt. That’s when Lee Isaac Chung obtained concerned.
Smith instructed Collider…
[Chung] did his personal factor to the script a little bit as a result of that is what they do, so I do not learn about some of the modifications precisely. So, I don’t know the main points, nevertheless it’s a separate story. It’s not a continuation of the unique. But it is simply a actual wild trip with some good, enjoyable characters. Hopefully, we will faucet into what the unique had as a result of that factor is simply iconic. But it is so cool to have a director like Isaac taking over one thing like this. It’s simply so out of his norm, and I believe he is having enjoyable. I used to be texting with him a couple days in the past, and it is simply all craziness of it.
