Two-time Oscar nominee Lee Isaac Chung, the filmmaker behind \"Minari,\" is directing the film with a script from Mark L. Smith, who co-wrote \"The Revenant\" and \"The Boys in the Boat.\"

The film is a sequel to Jan de Bont's 1996 classic that starred Helen Hunt and late actor Bill Paxton as estranged spouses Jo and Bill, storm chasers on the verge of divorce who join forces to chase tornados in Oklahoma in order to test the research device they created to study the storms.

\"Twister\" earned nearly $500 million at the worldwide box office and received two Academy Award nominations, one for best sound and one for best visual effects.
