Jan de Bont could feel the storm coming. Over the last decade, as the Hollywood IP machine turned on its afterburners and churned out reboots and legacy sequels to a variety of ’80s and ’90s action blockbusters at an alarming pace, the director knew his 1996 disaster flick Twister would soon get swept up in its recycled path.

After earning almost $500 million at the global box office, becoming the 10th highest-grossing film of all time upon its release, an updated version of the story about a pair of storm chasers pursuing a major tornado seemed all but inevitable.

“It made so much money for the studio,” de Bont tells Inverse. “Sooner or later they would do it.”

Indeed, as announced last winter, Twisters, a sequel to de Bont’s classic, is scheduled to blow into theaters next summer in a joint venture between Universal and Warner Bros. Helmed by Minari director Lee Isaac Chung with a script from writer Mark L. Smith, the project stars Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar Jones, and Anthony Ramos.

Though de Bont was never contacted to consult on the project throughout its evolution, the 79-year-old director believes the new iteration will be largely different from his own vision.

When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the universe — or so it seemed. The equations that describe how the universe works at its smallest scale, called the Standard Model, had long sported a blank space for one more boson, a particle that carries energy and force (a photon is also a type of boson). But new data from experiments at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, or Fermilab, seem to suggest that there’s another blank space in the Standard Model for physicists to fill in.

Particles called muons wobble when you put them in magnetic fields, and a team of more than 200 physicists in seven countries have spent the last six years measuring the speed of those wobbles. Muons wobble a little differently than the Standard Model predicts, and that may mean that there’s something missing from the Standard Model — something physicists haven’t even realized they were missing. The missing term could be a fundamental force of nature or a new type of particle, or it could be nothing at all.

The collaboration of physicists announced their findings in a recent press release and submitted a paper to the journal Physical Review Letters.
