Is Twister 2 a thing?

If you are a fan of the 1996 disaster movie Twister, you might be wondering if there is a sequel in the works. The answer is yes, there is a sequel coming out in 2024, and it is called Twisters. Here is what we know so far about the film.

Twisters is a standalone sequel to Twister, meaning that it is not a direct continuation of the original story, but rather a new story set in the same world. The film will focus on the daughter of Bill and Jo Harding, the storm chasers played by Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt in the original film.

The daughter, Kate Cooper, will be played by Daisy Edgar-Jones, who rose to fame with her role in Normal People. She will be joined by Glen Powell, who plays Tyler Owens, another storm chaser and her love interest. Other cast members include Anthony Ramos, Maura Tierney, Sasha Lane, Kiernan Shipka, and Nik Dodani.

The film will be directed by Lee Isaac Chung, who was nominated for an Oscar for his film Minari. The screenplay was written by Mark L. Smith, who also wrote The Revenant and Overlord. The film will be produced by Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, who also produced the Jurassic World films. Steven Spielberg, who was a producer on the original film, will also be involved in the sequel.

The film will incorporate climate change into the plot, as the tornado season has become more unpredictable and violent due to global warming. The film will also feature some impressive visual effects and action sequences, as the storm chasers try to deploy a new device that can measure the intensity of tornadoes.

Twisters is scheduled to be released on July 19, 2024, almost 30 years after the original film came out. The first trailer for the film was released during the Super Bowl on February 11, 2024.
