Are modern techniques and technologies still requiring people to drive directly into storms? I feel like safety is one of the things vastly improved in all that time, which might not make for a very action-packed movie.
Comment on Twisters

Here’s the thing: the real star of Twister is the storm chasing techniques and technologies.
And it has been decades.
The updated techniques and technologies deserve a cool movie too, and if they has called it anything else, I would be shouting angrily for the missed chance to call it “Twisters”.
Also, anything that encourages more people to watch “Twister” is a good thing. So I’m really hoping this new one isn’t awful.

There were livestreams of people doing that on youtube all last summer

I have no idea. That’s part of what makes me curious about the film. I only have the IMDB page to go off of, but it sounded like they’re going for realism in technique and technology.

I agree with you, but then I got about halfway through watching the trailer and realized they’re reusing the exact same (and completely extraneous) rivalry plot.

That’s a shame. The trailer looked really promising when I saw it with no sound.
I guess they need something, but it feels like the storm ought to be more than enough to be the “bad guy” of the film.
That does sound like really lazy filmmaking.
