Universal working on reboot of 1996 blockbuster 'Twister,' report says

Hooray! said no one

Didn’t they essentially do this a few years ago?

R2 was that Universal?

They’re even trying to cast similar actors... so far, for the leads they’re considering a piece of cardboard and a closeted lesbian in Birkenstocks with lip gloss on.

LMAO, r3.

I smell a LeeLee Sobieski comeback!

LeeLee quit acting years ago.

This blows.

Literally.

I'll play one of the cows!

That's why I said comeback, r7

The bill paxton role will be reconfigured as a trans woman of color. The Helen hunt role will remain a white male.

Wasn't there already a trans woman in the first one? Short red hair, huge beak.

Will they be able to buy Helen Hunt a new face? The one she’s got now, just ain’t working out well for her.

STOP MAKING REMAKES. Jesus get an original fucking idea.

Was it Bill Pullman or Bill Paxton in Twister? Because one of them is dead.

Good call - Paxton got the ultimate suck.

R15 it was Paxton. Bill is still alive.

I bet this one will be all about climate change.

The reboot will probably be about the daughter of Paxton and Hunt's characters being a storm chaser. I'm guessing Chloe Moretz could play the daughter,. She'll be a lesbo with a butch girlfriend played by Janelle Monae.

The first one is great. I cannot with Hollywood.

I'd rather a provocative sexual thriller about the game.

According to sources, instead of a twister, they're going to have Helen Hunt's giant melting face spinning around, sparking horror and destruction.

Hunt looks like Alan Alda in that picture. ^

The hatred on here vs Hunt is racist, ageist, and homophobic.

R24

Lipstick Alley is 500 miles thataway. Shoo.

Speaking of Helen Hunt, did that reboot of Mad About You ever air? I remember seeing commercials for it but never heard how it was.

They should reunite Helen, Jack and Greg Kinnear for a story in 2020 - As Bad As It Gets.

R26 it did. On Spectrum Demand

r27 Do NOT give them that idea ! Its one of my favorite film.

Helen could play Mason Verger in a Hannibal remake.

Apparently I am qualified to be a Universal executive. "Get me a list of movies that made money in the 90's Okay we are going to remake these."

This is why people no longer go to movie theaters.

No Lois Smith, no movie.

Well, the SFX on that first one are rotten by today's standards. Instead of Twister it should be called Pixel.

Oh, agreed it's a terrible movie. But a wonderfully terrible movie. The tornadoes appearing in bright sunshine are the least of the stupidities in the movie. Who will ever replace Bill Paxton who uttered so many immortal lines, like, "He's only in it for the MUHny"? Who could ever crawl around trying to scoop up balls like Helen Hunt? Philip Seymour Hoffman! Cameron from Ferris Buehler! That guy from Lost! And doing his very best Texan accent, Cary Elwes!

A+

I'm sure it will be a multiracial cast even though most, if not all, storm chasers are white. In fact, most daredevils, sailors, and rock climbers are white. POC are not as adventurous, for some reason.

I love disaster movies but I'm not sure anybody will want to go see them in the shadow of Covid. In times of global despair people tend to want happy, escapism filled films. An example of this is how Disney films boomed after WWII and The Great Depression. People who have just lived through mass disasters full of death and destruction don't want to go see disaster movies.

R37 Ironically, escapist movies about the rich were popular during the Depression, too.
