Screenwriter Mark L. Smith, when talking about working on the film with Lee Isaac Chung: “It’s a lot of fun. He did his own thing to the script because that’s what they do, so I don’t know precisely about some of the changes. So, I don’t know the details, but it’s a separate story.
He kept saying, “It’s not a continuation of the original. But it’s a wild ride with some good, fun characters. Hopefully, we can tap into what the original had because that thing is just iconic.”
Speaking about the film’s production, Smith also explained how climate effects would play a significant role in the movie: “I talked to so many storm experts, tornado experts, storm chasers, and rode around with some.”
“Even the tornado season itself, because of climate change, what used to be tornado alley going through a certain stretch.” (External Link: Collider)
