There were ne'er such devoted twisters! Over 25 years aft Twister twirled its mode into moviegoers’ hearts, Universal Pictures and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment person a caller “big scale” sequel called Twisters. How big? Well, we’re talking duplicate twisters twisting together. Minari manager Lee Isaac Chung directed the film, and Deadline reports “Spielberg himself flipped for the publication by The Revenant scribe Mark L. Smith, and his enthusiasm provided the impetus for the fast-tracked film.” The property circuit kicked disconnected astatine Cinemacon 2024 successful April with an inflatable cattle and upwind effects, giving immoderate existent William Castle vibes to the promotion. Now the lone happening near for them to bash is to bring backmost Twister … Ride It Out. But successful the meantime, here’s everything we cognize astir those sister Twisters.

“We got twins!” Anthony Ramos shouts successful the caller trailer, similar a amazed OB/GYN. “Twins!” Then, Daisy Edgar-Jones takes a infinitesimal and says forebodingly, “They’re combining.” Sorry, but if duplicate twisters maximizing their associated slay by becoming a monolithic super-tornado didn’t merchantability you connected this movie, past what will? The thrust of the movie appears to beryllium metropolis slicker Edgar-Jones and hometown leader Glen Powell taking connected a earthy disaster, similar if Sweet Home Alabama was remixed with Volcano. We’re truthful there.

Edgar-Jones and Powell are starring the formed arsenic Kate Cooper and Tyler Owens, who are 2 tempest chasers who “try to predict, and perchance tame, the immense powerfulness of tornadoes.” Joining them for the thrills are In The Heights’s Ramos, Maura Tierney, supernatural adept Brandon Perea, Daryl McCormack, Sasha Lane, Kiernan Shipka, and Nik Dodani.

Cooper is simply a erstwhile tempest chaser who gets called by Javi (Ramos) to “test a groundbreaking caller tracking system.” She meets Owens, a storm-chasing social-media influencer, wherever they extremity up “squarely successful the paths of aggregate tempest systems converging implicit cardinal Oklahoma.”

Twisters is not taking itself excessively earnestly during the property tour. At Cinemacon 2024, Ramos came done with an inflatable cattle arsenic his property partner. Onstage, a instrumentality blew fake leaves successful Powell’s face, mimicking the faux quality with which helium had to contend portion shooting.

And if that weren’t goofy enough, Twisters is bringing backmost those fake cyclone things that utilized to haunt dying malls. You retrieve those, right? They were besides successful subject museums’ acquisition stores. Fans tin instrumentality a selfie successful the oculus of a tornado, if that’s the benignant of happening you’re into.
