Billy Paxton Wants To Hunt Tornadoes in Third Dimension
Drawing inspiration from those pop-ups ads promising a wondrous 3D tornado that will save your screen (and apparently a trip he took to the Ozarks), Bill Paxton has decided he'd like to make another Twister film--this one using 3D gimmicks to make the cows caught in the tornadoes fly right out of the screen! The actor explained to Premium Hollywood (via Empire):
“I’ve had a meeting at the studio with Kathleen Kennedy about it,” Paxton said, whose inspiration for a sequel came as a result of a trip that he took to the Ozark Mountains last spring."That would need Steven Spielberg’s blessing, ultimately, and they probably won’t take it to him ‘til there’s real studio interest, but I think the 3D applications of that could obviously be pretty amazing.
"I always thought the first ‘Twister’ was an exciting ride, but I thought a sequel could explore it in a more enthralling way, getting into more of the history and the lore, more of a darker version of the first one.”
A darker Twister, huh? I don't think anyone actually wants that, but OK, Bill. Go for it. But first things first: we're going to need a more somber Goo Goo Dolls song.
