Bill Paxton’s Thinking 3-D TWISTER Sequel

Sometimes, you should just hand Bill Paxton the ball and let him run with it.  Why not?  He’s Hudson, for God’s sake.  He’s the only man to have been killed by the Terminator, the Predator, and Aliens.  He deserves to have his dreams recognized a little bit.  So, when I hear from an interview, courtesy of Bullz-Eye, that one of the things on his “to-do” list is a 3-D sequel to TWISTER, I say give him the resources to do just that.

Here is precisely what he had to say after talking about a trip through the mid-west where a massive tornado (The Tri-State Tornado) hit in 1925:

So we just did that to kind of get some ideas, and from that I kind of extrapolated an idea for a sequel. And I kind of put that together into a format, and now we’re kind of waiting to see if that’s going to move forward.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.

And this is the second time 3-D has been brought up this morning as a potential format for an upcoming project, and it is the second time that I say, “Fine, let ’em do it.  Whatever.”

This is Bill Paxton just talking about what he would like to do, you should understand.  Nothing has been set in stone.  But, if a TWISTER 2 does make its way to theaters in 3-D, I say so be it.  It’s Bill Paxton, dammit.  He deserves a little notoriety now and again.

Just don’t bring Helen Hunt back.  I beg you of that.
