Jan de Bont says he didn't know there was a follow-up to his 1996 disaster film—until he saw the trailer.
There’s never been a better time to be a Twister fan. The 1996 disaster classic hits 4K Ultra HD July 9, meaning those growling tornados will look and sound better than ever—and its long-awaited follow-up, Twister s, touches down July 19. Surprisingly, while he knew about his own movie’s sparkling new version, the original Twister director says he didn’t know Twister s even existed until he saw the trailer.
The director, who also directed Speed and Speed 2: Cruise Control, shared some opinions about sequels too. “If you want to make a sequel, it should really be a sequel,” he said. “It should be about the same people. It should be the same continuing story and saga of the same group of people, preferably in different circumstances that are even more interesting and more exciting. But to make a whole different story , then you shouldn’t really call it a sequel in my opinion.
