The single most unrealistic part of Twister was when Paxton chooses to go back to Helen Hunt over this fine piece of ass.

So just seen a cast pict for the new Twister movie...
Ffs, can Hollywood not make a show without populating it with a bunch of generic AF looking Instagram influencers, I hate to keep referencing the olden days, but at least the movies seemed to cast the odd 1 or 2 conventially good looking peeps and the rest looked like normal human beings, hell the original was a bunch of nerdy bastards... Now apparently the trailer is due soon so I'll hold off until I see it, but from the below pict it genuinely looks like a bunch of IG models on some shoot will get caught up on a twister flinging all sorts of in your face marketing shite at us, hoped to be proved wrong as I loved the original

We don't have hurricanes over here as far as i know lol but while I can imagine the fear of said terrifying scenario I have zero connection with it's premise. I'll watch it if the twist, pun intended, was if the hurricane teleported a family or whatever to an alternate reality or planet on which it's society consciousness has evolved so they bask and learn and grow wiser themselves via a guide that takes said family or a random group of current Earth people through constant exposition so as to learn them the way how to become am AAA+ grade peaceful society.
But that's just me. I've already read the script

I need to know what's between their legs, what used to be between their legs, what they wish they had between their legs and which ones are part of the lgbtqssj community.
Well, take solace that probably half the cast will get killed.
I gotta think this will have a HEAVY climate change message. Wouldn't surprise me if Greta Thunberg shows up in a cameo.
Is the Maverick director still attached to this? Wonder if he got real tornado footage, if Tom Cruise rubbed off on him then I bet he did.

This one will somehow have worse CGI effects than the original.

This movie will be trash, but I am pumped for the trailer.
The movie was shot in large part in Oklahoma. Pretty cool.
The plot will, reportedly, center around climate change and "tornado alley shifting", which as someone heavily involved in tornado hobbies, is refuted by almost anyone with Atmospheric Science degrees and meteorologist alike.
Going to suck, but I will still visit the suck zone for this #thankswierdhobbies

The biggest stand out of the trailer for me was the girl screaming her head off... while looking like she's lying down on a sound stage with nothing happening around her, while some CGI mess flies across the screen.
They pulled Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton around on wires.

Trailer looks like they edited the original twister into today’s way of editing trailers. Flipping heck.

NO, just NO
Why do they keep on insisting on remaking films, this one is a modern classic film in my eyes, and the remake is almost one for one in its classic moments but make them waaaay worse. Well, actually, I do know the answer and that is 'money'.
RIP Bill Paxton

Hasbro may have bombed with Battleship when it came to review scores, but I'm sure they can get it right with that.

If I didnt know any better (unfortunately we all do) it looks like one of those fake trailers people make by cutting up existing movies.
I'm saying all this and I'll probably watch it, not in the cinema, out of curiosity more then anything. Cant watch it in the cinema as I'll be criticising and shouting at the screen throughout most likely. I have the original on VHS and DVD, watched it dozens of times.

26 seconds into the trailer and my suspension of disbelief crashed to the ground. That storm was powerful enough to blow a big car off the ground and into the air, but these kids are hardly bothered by it.

The follow-up to the 1996 classic is more of a loose relation than a full-blooded sequel.

That’s such an angering thing to read haha.
Low key, through the tornado community I know a few people who worked on the film, so I already knew a few things, including this. They consulted very few chasers, most of the chasers they did consult I know for a fact don’t believe tornado alley is shifting. They didn’t talk to anybody about that haha.
And the irony of saying “30 years of global warming and the impact on size and strength” while we go through the longest modern drought of an EF-5 tornado event isn’t lost either *eye roll*.
This isn’t at all me posturing for or against climate change, but all of this stuff, in the tornado community at least, is pretty divisive to say the least. Granted there are nuances to all of this (for example, there has been tornados with EF-5 strength that just haven’t had the DI to be properly rated based on what they impacted), but it’s still a frustratingly shallow look at tornado science and the quotes come off as someone who made their mind up based on a 5 paragraph click bait editorial rather than actually studying and consulting the professionals.

I wouldn't be surprised if a new Volcano movie is next. Climate change messaging aside this is still nothing more than the endless sequel/reboot shitopia that is modern Hollywood.
Oh, oh, what if the disaster "shared universe" franchise started with San Andreas, continues with Twister 2: Whirlwind Bugaloo, and then we get Miami Tsunami, Volcano 2: LA is really gonna get it this time, and DROUGHT: Goddamn it's hot!
Then it turns out it was this guy allllll along! All the disaster movie heroes team up and head into spaaaaace!
Send in Flash!!!

I love natural disaster films, they just dont seem to always handle them well and/or turn them into Sci-Fi films (Moonfall, Geostorm even though I liked both films).
There have been some decent ones of course (Greenland is pretty good, as is The Wave, San Andreas is OK I guess), but there are way too many bad ones, luckily those seem to mostly be on the Sci Fi channel.
But there isnt really any need to reboot these things or have sequels.

Twister had flying cows and shit but makes the viewer respect the storm, the chasers and the science. The new one feels like the tornado scene from The Day After Tomorrow but without the awesome premise and execution.

Or how 27 seconds in, she's holding on for dear life and her hair isn't even moving at all. I might still see this, but this looks crazy similar to the first movie.

Does anyone else think this idea of "destroying a tornado" (via little flying bombs?) is eerily similar to "why can't you nuke a hurricane"? Even superman couldn't (wouldn't?) do it!
I remember when Twister was in theater, god help you if you were in the theater next to it because of all the bass rumble. This film should deliver the same, probably a fun cinema watch for date night if nothing else.

The CGI in this one looks dodgy as hail.
If this gets a decent reception, I'll check it out, but I've got a feeling it won't.

Hasbro may have bombed with Battleship when it came to review scores, but I'm sure they can get it right with that.
can always make it a story about 2 couples doing a game night playing Twister and then things starts to get heated and soon you get some kinda swinger drama going on and then go on there.
