    The original was a stone-cold classic.. this looks all a bit lame and lazy, even by Hollywood standards.

    I'm even betting that character at 1:30 is trying to emulate Philip Seymour Hoffman's "shouty character" in the original.

    The original holds up really well but that trailer got my attention. Glad to see Glen Powell leaning into the 'cocky handsome prick' archetype he did so well in Top Gun Maverick.

    I was a fan of the original so I'll give it a go. I think it'd be a good popcorn film to see on a big screen.

    From the director that brought you ... wait, Minari? Ok that's a bit weird.

    I suppose we should be grateful it didn't go full Legacy Sequel and write a blank cheque for Helen Hunt or Cary Elwes (Bill Paxton RIP).

    It doesn't look great, but I'm basically a sucker for any natural disaster film, so I'll be there day one.

    They should have called it The Suck Zone. Depending on how bad it is, it could work on a number of levels.

    That's some jump from Minari to Twisters but I see Lee Isaac Chung also directed an episode of The Mandalorian.

    Not the career progression I would have expected after watching Minari.

    Looks fun, the original to me seemed a bit TV Movieish although I did like the effect with the cattle caught up in the middle of the twister.

    If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)

    looks like remake more then a sequel, every scene point the same

    How is it connected to the original, just name, subject etc., ?



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,713 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    DOROTHY is returning, so there's some sort of connection to the original.

    $200m budget.

    I kind of want it to bomb now.

    All the Einsteins in this thread saying that the original was a classic 🤣. News flash: the original was absolutely mediocre.

    Every time there's a report on the radio during a storm of debris on the road I just think of the "We have debris" "DEBRIS!?!" scene.
