Bill Paxton: Twister Sequel in 3D?

Interview mit Bill Paxton über mögliches Twister Sequel in 3D:

Bullz-Eye got a chance to talk to the "Big Love" star, who revealed he has pitched an idea for a 3D sequel to Twister to producer Kathleen Kennedy. The original was released in 1996 and earned $494.5 million worldwide.

Paxton told the site that the idea for a sequel came as a result of a trip that he took to the Ozark Mountains last spring:

"I flew into St. Louis with my buddy Scott Thomson, who played Preacher in 'Twister,' and we rented a car and drove down to southeastern Missouri, into the Ozarks," said Paxton. "We spent the night, and the next morning we got up and we started tracking the trail of the most famous tornado that ever hit the country, which was the Tri-State Tornado of 1925. It still holds all of the records. It was called the Tri-State because it was a mile wide when it came down from the sky on the afternoon of March 16, 1925, and it was a rural area, but, boy, before it was through, it crossed the Mississippi, it cut across southern Illinois, where it hit a lot of towns. The biggest one was Murphysboro, which was... it literally looked like Hiroshima after it hit. And then it went across the Wabash, into Indiana, staying on the ground three and a half hours and cutting a damage path 219 miles long, killing about 700 people. There's actually footage that I found in Murphysboro at their historical society. They had footage from a biplane that the government sent down, just to do aerial footage of all of the destruction and the damage. 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.

He added that he "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."

Also mir würde das gefallen, Paxton ist sowieso einer der Besten. :D

Hmm....den ersten Teil fand ich wirklich gut. Und ein Wirbelsturm, der Gegenstände durch die Gegend schmeißt... könnte in 3D echt was werden.  :icon_smile:  Aber die Story muß natürlich trotzdem stimmen.

[El_Hadschi]

Bin da auch ganz zuversichtlich. Könnte, mit 'ner vernünftigen Story, was werden.

[Duke Skywalker]

Vernüftige Story? Hatte Teil 1 eine?
Fliegende Kühe in 3D.
Würde ich mir sofort anschauen.  :icon_mrgreen:

Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass das Sequel dann einer dieser Filme ist, die nur für die 3D-Effekte gedreht werden. Visuell hui - der Rest pfui. JMO...

Ich denke, die Hollywood Bosse sollten es mit diesem aufkommenden 3D Hype nicht übertreiben :nono:

[RoboLuster]

Also zumindest für mich liegt die Betonung hier nicht auf 3D, sondern auf Bill Paxton und Twister Sequel. ;)

Es gibt weitaus schlechtere Blockbuster-Filme, von denen eine Fortsetzung gedreht wurde. Warum also nicht ein "Twister"-Sequel? Und ein Katastrophenfilm in 3D wäre vielleicht sogar ganz reizvoll.
