Bill Paxton had tried to get a sequel to Twister (1996) off the ground for years. After seeing success as the director of films like Frailty (2001), Paxton wanted to direct a modernized telling of the 1925 Tri-State tornado that took the lives of 695 people. Paxton, with the help of producer James Cameron, also wanted the film to have an MPAA R-rating and maintain a realistic depiction of the damages that real tornadoes cause, and planned for it to be shot in 3D. The film at one point had an unofficial schedule date for the summer of 2012 under the title "Twister 3D", but it was ultimately canceled due to budgetary concerns and, years later, by Paxton's death in 2017.
