The film Twisters promises to bring a fresh take on the storm-chasing genre
Universal Pictures is set to release “Twisters,” a much-anticipated indirect sequel to the 1996 classic “Twister,” on July 19, 2024. Directed by Lee Isaac Chung and written by Mark L. Smith, the film promises to bring a fresh take on the storm-chasing genre while paying homage to the original’s thrilling spirit.
“Twisters” features Glen Powell as Tyler Owens, a social media personality and self-proclaimed “Tornado Wrangler.” Daisy Edgar-Jones plays Kate Cooper, a storm tracker with a more cautious approach, coaxed into chasing storms in Oklahoma by her friend Javi, portrayed by Anthony Ramos. The story follows their adventures and contrasting methods in storm chasing, highlighting the universal human struggle against nature’s powerful forces.
The film boasts a diverse cast, including Maura Tierney, Brandon Perea, Daryl McCormack, Kiernan Shipka, Sasha Lane, Tunde Adebimpe, Nik Dodani, David Corenswet, and Katy O’Brian. This ensemble brings together talent from various acclaimed projects, promising rich performances.
“Twisters” aims to capture the adventure and excitement that inspired a generation of meteorologists and storm enthusiasts, much like its predecessor. The film’s modern setting and standalone story make it accessible to new audiences while offering a nostalgic nod to fans of the original “Twister”.
