For fans of the originalTwister, starringBill PaxtonandHelen Hunt, summer 2024 is taking us back to the theaters for another harrowing adventure withTwisters. There are a lot ofdisaster movies, but there aren’t many blockbuster features that capture the devastation of Mother Nature quite likeJan de Bont’s 1996 movie. For the sequel, the script was written byMark L. Smith(The Revenant) andJoseph Kosinski(Top Gun: Maverick), inspired by the original screenplay fromMichael Crichton(Jurassic Park) andAnne-Marie Martin. Helming the project is the Oscar-nominated writer-director Lee Isaac Chung.
What Is ‘Twisters’ About?
In December 2023, Colliderexclusively reportedthatTwisterswould not share a connection with the original film from a conversation with Smith. Instead of alegacy sequel, this one introduces us to a new adrenaline-hungry duo with former storm chaser Kate Carter (Egdar-Jones) and self-proclaimed “tornado wrangler” Tyler Owens (Powell). After a traumatic incident with a tornado in her college days, Kate has given up fieldwork for studying storm patterns behind a screen, where it’s safe. Years later, the promise of groundbreaking technology lures Kate back into the fold, where her reservations about the deadly storms are challenged by Owens and hisrowdy group of storm chasers. The unpredictable nature of these cyclones, however, is worsened as the storm season grows more intense, and they all find themselves fighting to survive the Oklahoma plains.
Twistersalso boasts a stacked cast, includingAnthony Ramos(Transformers: Rise of the Beasts),Brandon Perea(Nope),Katy O’Brian(Love Lies Bleeding),Kiernan Shipka(Chilling Adventures of Sabrina),Maura Tierney(The Iron Claw),David Corenswet(Pearl),andSasha Lane(American Honey).
