Get ready to be swept off your feet this summer with the highly anticipated disaster epic, Twisters. A new featurette, “A Look Inside Twisters,” is now available, offering a thrilling sneak peek into the making of this adrenaline-pumping film. Directed by Lee Isaac Chung and set to hit theaters on July 19, Twisters promises to deliver a big-screen spectacle that puts viewers directly in the path of one of nature’s most destructive forces.
Return of the Epic Studio Disaster Movie
Produced by the same powerhouse teams behind the Jurassic, Bourne, and Indiana Jones series, Twisters serves as a current-day continuation of the 1996 blockbuster, Twister. With Chung at the helm—an Oscar®-nominated writer-director known for Minari—the film stars Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the Crawdads Sing), Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick), and Anthony Ramos (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts).
A New Generation of Storm Chasers
Edgar-Jones portrays Kate Carter, a former storm chaser who is haunted by a traumatic tornado encounter during her college years. Now safely studying storm patterns from New York City, she is enticed back to the plains by her friend Javi, played by Ramos, to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. Here, she meets Tyler Owens (Powell), a social media superstar known for his daring storm-chasing exploits.
“The intensity and scale of the storm scenes are something audiences have never seen before. We wanted to bring a level of realism and excitement that truly immerses viewers.”
Twisters Director Lee Isaac Chung
