Original 'Twister' Director Speaks Out on Why the Film Can Never Be Remade

Jan de Bont, the director of the 1996 blockbuster film Twister, believes that the movie could not be remade today due to the use of real practical effects, such as real ice and falling objects. However, recent films like Nope and Christopher Nolan's works have showcased the use of practical effects, challenging de Bont's claim. A sequel to Twister is currently in the works, but it is expected to rely heavily on CGI effects.

"Director of Iconic Disaster Thriller Asserts It's Untouchable 27 Years On"

Jan de Bont, director of the 1996 disaster film Twister, believes that the upcoming sequel, Twisters, will be vastly different from his original vision due to advancements in visual effects technology. De Bont acknowledges that Twister helped revolutionize visual effects and became one of the most influential films of the decade. However, he doubts that the practical shots and real-life elements from the original could be replicated today. While he is unsure if he will watch the sequel, de Bont believes that director Lee Isaac Chung may bring a unique perspective to the Midwestern tale. He also expresses skepticism about the trend of inexperienced directors being chosen for big-budget films, noting that studios ultimately have control over the final product.
