‘Twister’ was successful, incomes $494 million worldwide, and lauded for its state-of-the-art results. Yet no sequel was developed till way more not too long ago.
Mark L. Smith, who wrote ‘The Revenant’ and George Clooney’s ‘The Midnight Sky’, has crafted a script that reportedly concentrate on the now-grown daughter of Jo and Bill Harding, who’s a chip off the outdated storm-chasing block.
Steven Spielberg (who was a producer on the 1996 film) is alleged to be thrilled by the brand new screenplay and longing for the film to be made. And all concerned are hoping that they’ll tempt Hunt again in some capability, even when only for a cameo. Paxton, after all, sadly died in 2017.
Despite early work kicking off on this one again in 2020, you’ll be able to actually level to ‘Maverick’ being a spur for recent growth on this entrance. And in truth, that film’s director Joseph Kosinski was connected to what was then being described as a reboot.

Here’s what he stated,

But all I’ll say is there was an opportunity where we were talking about that, and it didn’t happen, and the reasons that it didn’t happen are potentially shady. But shady in the way that we know the industry is shady.”
The reply, my buddies, might be blowing within the wind.
