Summary Twister may be an action-packed disaster movie about storm chasers coming face-to-face with destructive tornadoes, but the film took its primary inspiration from a surprising source: a classic 1940 romantic comedy. The original screenplay for Twister was written by Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton and his then-wife Anne-Marie Martin.
Michael Crichton & Anne-Marie Martin's Twister Script Was Inspired By His Girl Friday It's a divorce comedy disguised as a disaster movie Speaking to Vulture, de Bont confirmed that Crichton and Martin based their Twister script on Howard Hawks’ 1940 screwball comedy His Girl Friday. When Crichton was searching for the right personal, emotional story to pair with the dazzling spectacle of storm-chasing, he landed on His Girl Friday’s bickering enemies-to-lovers couple.
