In some unspecified time in the future, the unique plan for Twisters was to make a sequel to Tornado, the 1996 catastrophe film that grew to become a shock smash, and the second largest movie of the 12 months, behind solely Independence Day. However plans modified, as they so usually do in Hollywood. Twisters remains to be taking place. It’s nonetheless nominally linked to Tornado. However apparently it’s no longer “a continuation of the unique.”
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 undertaking with High Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski, who had the primary pitch for Twisters. (Rumors from round that point had it that the film would observe a daughter of the characters performed in Tornado by Invoice 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 bit of bit as a result of that is what they do, so I do not find out about among the modifications precisely. So, I don’t know the main points, but it surely’s a separate story. It isn’t a continuation of the unique. Nevertheless it’s only 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. Nevertheless it’s so cool to have a director like Isaac taking over one thing like this. It is simply so out of his norm, and I feel he is having enjoyable. I used to be texting with him a pair days in the past, and it is simply all craziness of it.
