Why is Helen Hunt Not in Twisters 2?
Helen Hunt isn't in the new movie "Twisters" because the director, Lee Isaac Chung, felt her character, Jo Harding, wouldn't fit into the new storyline. He couldn't find a satisfying way to include her and thought she wouldn't be doing the same storm-chasing activities years later. Instead, the film focuses on a new generation of storm chasers.
Who is Helen Hunt From "Twister"?
