In just a few weeks, another major entry on the 2024 movie schedule will be upon us, and it promises to (figuratively) blow the roof off cinemas. The highly anticipated "Twisters," which stars Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, has been touted as pure blockbuster fun. Of course, the flick is a successor to the 1996 film "Twister," which was directed by Jan de Bont. Interestingly enough, De Bont just revealed that he only recently learned of the forthcoming follow-up’s existence. With that, he has thoughts, which mostly revolve around why he thinks viewers “shouldn’t really call it a sequel.” "Twister" is still widely beloved by fans, many of whom have likely shared the flick with newer generations of movie lovers. Jan de Bont seems to feel a great sense of ownership of the classic blockbuster, which starred Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman. So you can imagine just how surprised he must’ve been when he laid his eyes on the "Twisters" trailer for the first time. The 80-year-old Dutch filmmaker, who has since retired from the business, opened up about the new movie while speaking to THR about the OG flick and its impact.
