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.
