Nominated for both the Razzies and the Oscars, Twister was a one-of-a-kind team-up driven not just by its outrageous action sequences but its cast chemistry. This means any attempt to give the original Twister a sequel would mean that the cast, or at least most of its key players, would need to return. Sadly, that's now impossible as two of Twister's biggest stars have passed on. Academy Award winner Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who portrayed chase team member Dustin "Dusty" Davis, died in 2014 at 46, while Big Love and Apollo 13 star Bill Paxton passed away at 61 in 2017. Without them, particularly Paxton, a sequel wouldn't be the same.
But Twister fans still have something to be excited for. Although a sequel will likely never happen at this point, just a month after the film's 25th release date anniversary, Universal announced that a Twister reboot was in the works. Still in early development, there's no clear idea of when the movie will hit theaters — and it may be a while considering all the 2020 movie delays — but Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski is in talks to direct the reboot, which could potentially feature appearances from original stars like Hunt and Elwes. As there is currently no cast attached or story plot announced, fans will have to wait to see how a new tornado pandemic blows over Hollywood.
