I think that making it a sequel to Twister does indicate an obsession with risk mitigation though which I think, overall, hurts film making. They’re either wanting to tell a story but are burdening it with a vestigial IP purely to hedge their bets at the box office or they don’t have a story to tell and the new film will be an exercise in reviving an IP for it’s own sake with the actual creation of a film and the telling of a story being an obligation at best.

I simply don’t believe anyone is really passionate about telling the continuing story of the characters or world presented in Twister.

It’s more the fact they didn’t make “another film about tornadoes” they just rehashed an existing one.
