You know that thing which sometimes happens where one ‘outlet’ runs a rumor, and others pick it up as gospel? This is apparently the case with the recent hullabaloo about a possible “Twister” sequel. To be fair, this proposed return of the cinematic storm chasers has been spoken about for years. But, a recent ‘scoop’ claims “Prey” director Dan Trachtenberg was going to helm the project.
But by his own words, he’s not.
To whom it may concern. I am not making a TWISTER.
As far as we can tell FOR SURE, Universal and Amblin Pictures ARE actively developing “Twisters.” Additional sources indicate a desire for Helen Hunt, who played Dr. Jo Harding in the original 1996 film, to return. Her co-star Bill Paxton, who played Bill Harding, passed away suddenly in 2017. But so far, no set info about possible stars or storyline has been confirmed.
We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news. You can catch “Twister” on Tubi and Hulu.
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
