Paxton says that he's "had a meeting at the studio with Kathleen Kennedy about it." I'm not exactly sure what studio he's talking about, but it's probably DreamWorks (since that's where Kathleen Kennedy works), not Warner Bros (who made the original and put out the Blu-Ray last year). Anyway, he goes on to say that Tri-State Tornado gave him ideas "and from that I kind of extrapolated an idea for a sequel. And I kind of put that together into a format, and now we're kind of waiting to see if that's going to move forward." But they need Steven Spielberg's blessing and he doesn't think they'll get that "til there's real studio interest."

Of course, Paxton also talks about 3D, because that's now the big thing in Hollywood, and how it "could obviously be pretty amazing" to see a Twister sequel in 3D. He also explains, depressingly, that "the only reason I'd like to revisit that ground is because I realize we're living in a time where big movies cost so much to make that the town is looking for built-in audiences." So he doesn't think it would be a good idea to do creatively, but thinks it's a good idea because it would make him and the studio boatloads of money? Now that's how a true genius like Bill Paxton thinks! Why isn't this guy running a movie studio in Hollywood?

Ok, that makes two ;) :lol:

On a side note, why is everything in 3-D now?

Good question. I think 3D is WAY overrated (that goes for CGI, too)!

Agreed, both of which will no doubt star prominently in this film.

I mean, look at someone like Irwin Allen, who did great work with the special effects he had. This was in the pre-CGI days, and I'd rather watch one of his movies than the stuff out now.

Twister is special to me in a way because it's the first bootleg movie I saw. I still have the bootleg VHS that my dad bought in the city on his way home from work around somewhere.

Taping movies in the theater was not the same from 1996 compared to today; I think it was just starting around this time.

I also liked Twister. I think a 3D sequel might be cool.

I loved Twister, although I could have lived without the cow flying through the air. I've always like Bill Paxton. He was great in the movie, Frailty, and I enjoy him in HBO's Big Love.

Thanks.

Thanks.

No problem. All those acronyms can be confusing.

If it's not a remake, it's a sequel... :rolleyes: Remember the days when Hollywood actually had fresh ideas? God everything today is a sequel, a remake, or an adaptation.

I don't think I've seen anything truly "new" or "imaginitive" since Mulholland Dr.
