According to rumors, Steven Spielberg rejected Mark L. Smith’s script. Joseph Kosinski, the director of Top Gun: Maverick, was originally slated to helm Twisters, but he left the production to work on another movie.

The filmmaker for the movie is now being chosen by Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, with Prey’s Dan Trachtenberg, Free Solo’s Jimmy Chin, Elizabeth Chai, and Kubo and the Two Strings’ Travis Knight all rumored to be in the running. With the sequel centering on Helen Hunt and Dr. William Harding’s daughter, who was portrayed by the late Bill Paxton in the first movie, Helen Hunt is reportedly being considered for a comeback.

Twister, which was released in May 1996, followed a devastating tornado outbreak in Oklahoma and followed the efforts of estranged married couple Jo and Bill Harding (Paxton and Hunt) to use a research equipment to help shorten the lead time for tornado warnings.
