‘Twister’ Sequel Lands Summer 2024 Release

Twisters is the second chapter to the classic 1996 film about storm chasers.

Universal and Amblin Entertainment will produce Lee Isaac Chung’s Twisters, a follow-up to the 1996 film Twister.

Twisters will swirl into theaters July 19, 2024, the studio announced Tuesday.

The Oscar-nominated Chung, best known for directing Minari, will helm the picture.

Adding to the film’s pedigree, Hollywood veteran Frank Marshall will produce. Warner Bros. is co-financing the project.

Chung will direct from a screenplay by Mark L. Smith, who co-wrote the adapted screenplay of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s The Revenant.

In 1996, Twister, which starred Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, scored big at the box-office, earning nearly $500 million globally.

Michael Crichton and Anne-Marie Martin wrote the screenplay for the original movie. It centered on a separated storm-chasing couple (Paxton and Hunt) who get back together to chase the storm of the century in Oklahoma. It was praised for its inventive visual effects.

Twisters will be overseen by executive vp production Sara Scott and creative executive Jacqueline Garell for Universal Pictures. Ashley Jay Sandberg will oversee for Kennedy/Marshall.
