Filming for its initial clapperboard is expected in the spring of 2023.
Frank Marshall is producing. Mark L. Smith (The Revenant) wrote the script.
The original film, directed by Jan de Bont, centered its plot on Bill and Jo Harding (Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt), advanced storm chasers on the verge of divorce who must come together to create an advanced weather warning system by putting themselves at the point of watch for extremely violent tornadoes.
