According to Variety, which broke the news, Joseph Kosinski, director of the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick, is reportedly in talks with Universal to direct a remake of the 1996 action movie Twister about a couple of storm chasers, on the brink of divorce, who join together and put themselves in the cross-hairs of extremely violent tornadoes to create an advanced weather alert system.
The original Twister – written by Jurassic Park’s Michael Crichton and his wife Anne-Marie Martin, and directed by Speed helmer Jan de Bont – centered around Paxton and Hunt’s married storm-chasers, whose relationship was every bit as tumultuous as the tornadoes they tracked (it’s a metaphor, see?).
No details have emerged if plot of the Twister reboot would be similar to the original or or explore a whole new story.
