This is one of my all time favorite movies. I'd rather a sequel with a new team than a reboot of the same story. Hopefully that's the direction they're taking.

Yeah, I doubt they just retread the exact same story, especially with Kosinski at the helm. And "reboot" could just as easily mean a "legacy" sequel with an original character or two (though the two best - Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman - are no longer with us, unfortunately). Either way, I'm sure it will feel and be different enough.

First PG-13 movie I ever watched. Scared the **** out of me.

I have only had nightmares of three things, my entire life. A T-Rex chasing me, seeing a sudden mushroom cloud in the distance, and tornadoes dropping from the sky to come and get me.

Why reboot such a 90's classic?

People just need to stop with this repackaging and be original.

Let's say this exact same team made an original tornado chaser movie, and set it for release in 2022 or so. No matter how good it is, no matter what movie stars they get, it absolutely, undeniably makes more money if that same movie is simply called Twister. Not only that, but it likely doesn't even get greenlit if it's *not* called Twister. That's just the reality of the business, and the reality of current audience behavior. So what you're really saying is, "People just need to stop with the repackaging and make less money," and that's never going to happen.

I get what you're saying. We all want more originality out of Hollywood. But in this day and age, A) the market simply doesn't allow gambles like it used to, and B) again, I guarantee you this will be different enough from the original. In fact, I bet the only things it has in common are the Texas setting and the rival tornado chaser teams, but even those two elements aren't a sure thing.

I love the original movie.

But it's stupid as hell. I mean, "How Did this Get Made" level dumb.

But I still love it. It was the last movie my wife and I saw before we got married, so it is a special movie for us.

And I hate that they took the attraction out of Universal Studios Orlando.

That's what's so funny about some of these responses. Yes, it's a "classic" (a classic blockbuster, at least). Yes, it's fun (and was scary) as hell. But man, there is some suuuuuper dumb stuff in it, and a modern take could absolutely improve on certain elements. Will it be as charming? Who knows? But Kosinski is really seemingly coming into his own as of late, and I'm absolutely willing to give him the benefit of the doubt at this point.

Twister had a surprisingly talented cast, lots of character actors and "that guy". I hope they find a way to match that, and just updated crazy graphics..and its not too serious.

Didn't they already make a sequel: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133246/

Love Twister.

Always loved this scene. I did the same thing about a year later driving through Copperas Cove after the Jarrell F5 came through. Never seen a dead cow stuck in an oak tree before.

Sine poena nulla lex.

Agreed. And that's exactly why I think they have something new/different up their sleeves.

Twister was the first movie I saw on DVD

Great movie. I used to crank it on what I thought was my badass sounds system. It's also totally rewatchable.

I don't see how they make a sequel because they solved the early warning problem when Dorthy IV flew because they made those 10,000 coke can wings in like 30 minutes.

The real question will be what brand gets to be the featured truck like the Ram was in the original

You slaughter your own cows...Meg, nice!

Potato's?

Okay.... doesn't lessen the point of how unoriginal and tired it is. I'm racking my brain to think of a reboot that was worth the time.

True Grit
The most recent ape movies? Though, those were nothing like the original

I can understand why one does something and still have a problem with it. Explaining the obvious doesn't display any unique form of knowledge.

Mad Max

It may work it may not. But it better feature the new age of dueling storm chasers like it did last time.

That kicked off the summer of 96 that also delivered the rock, independence day, and mission impossible

What a summer.

Also, who's our new Seymour-Hoffman? I vote Sam Rockwell

Guess we will see the Jeep Gladiator replace the destroyed Honcho

I totally forgot that the tornado "growls."

And that you're basically fine as long you're outside a 10-yard-or-so radius of it.

Even then, you can survive being *in* one, just as long as you tie yourself to something.
