Splendid Preview of “Twisters”
“Twisters” captivates the audience during its extended sneak peek at CinemaCon, generating massive enthusiasm. Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones (“Where the Crawdads Sing”) and Glen Powell (“Top Gun: Maverick”), the film narrates the exploits of rival entities uniting to foresee and potentially manage the formidable force of tornadoes.
An Exciting Inside Look

The intense drama reflects Powell’s character’s mantra- courage in the face of fear, giving the audience a glimpse of the thrill awaiting them in the film.
Inspired by Real Experiences
At the heart of “Twister’s” creation is Director Lee Isaac Chung, whose everyday life growing up in Arkansas was characterized by tornadoes. The original “Twister” movie was a major classic among him and his friends. Chung took a leap of faith, drawing inspiration from storm chasers heading towards the storm rather than fleeing from it, to create the film.
To ensure authenticity, actual storm chasers were assigned to collect footage for the movie. Chung communicated to the CinemaCon viewers that\ “Twisters” is crafted to be wholly engrossing.
Characters Brought to Life in “Twisters”
Edgar-Jones breathes life into Kate Cooper, a past storm chaser, who has a haunting encounter with a tornado during her college years. From chasing storms, her focus shifts to studying storm patterns through screens in New York City. The plot thickens as her friend, Javi (Anthony Ramos), tempts her back to the open plains to test a pioneering new tracking system.
On her return, Kate runs into Tyler Owens (Powell), a charismatic, audacious social-media superstar who takes delight in posting his thrilling storm-chasing ventures on social media platforms with his boisterous crew.
A Fresh Interpretation
While “Twisters” has some connection to the original film, Powell assures that it is not a reincarnation. The upcoming movie is presenting a fresh story that contrasts the original. The story is standalone and modern, with no characters from the original film reprised.
Mark your calendars, as this awe-inspiring film is set to hit theatres on July 19th. Anticipate to be on the edge of your seats as the story unfolds the terrifying phenomenon witnessed by Kate, Tyler and their competing teams, converging over central Oklahoma.
