Buckle up because we’re getting a follow-up to the classic 1996 film Twister. The sequel, Twisters, the screenplay is being written by Mark L. Smith, who co-wrote the adapted screenplay of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s The Revenant. Lee Isaac Chung will direct this long-awaited sequel to the action-drama-disaster film that had all of us kids in the midwest concerned during our formative years.
