At long last, the sequel to 1996's Twister gets a positive update as Universal looks for a director ahead of a potential spring production start.
The Twister sequel receives a hopeful production update, with the search for a director narrowing down. While comic book stories may dominate the big screen now, in the 1990s, disaster films were better at drawing an audience. One of the biggest disaster films of the time was director Jan de Bont's epic Twister, which premiered in 1996.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Twister was an enormous success upon its release, earning more than $495 million at the box office globally and garnering two Academy Award nominations. It's exactly this success that has led Universal Pictures to pursue a sequel two decades later. In 2020, it was reported that a large-scale Twister reboot was in development with Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski tapped to direct, but since then Kosinski has left the project.
How Twisters Will Honor Bill Paxton's Character Although very little information about Twisters has been officially released yet, it was reported that the film will still link back to the late Paxton's character Bill Harding. The developing Twister sequel is hoping to bring Hunt back to reprise her role from the original and focus on the central couple's daughter, who has caught the same storm-chasing bug her parents had.
At this time, there is no word on how Twisters will approach Paxton's character, but because Hunt is expected to return, it seems possible that Bill will have died between the two films, echoing the late actor's passing. He will always be remembered for his role in Twister, and after his death in 2017, many real life storm chasers paid tribute to Paxton. This means Universal will want to pay careful attention to how the sequel handles the character's absence.
