The story told of two meteorologists, who once were a couple, chasing the biggest tornado of the century., the search is underway for screenwriters for the project, while Frank Marshall, the husband of one of the producers of the original film, Kathleen Kennedy, has already been named as a producer.
“Twister” was directed by Jan de Bont, who also made the cult film “Speed”, and produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Universal Pictures and Steven Spielberg’s company, Amblin Entertainment.
