Buckle up, because Twister is back, and this time, it's bringing even more storm-chasing thrills with its sequel, Twisters! Just like the 1996 classic, which first got us hooked on the tornado-chasing craze, this new installment is cranking up the intensity with a fresh take on battling nature’s fiercest fury.
A New Storm Chasing Team
This time around, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell are stepping into the whirlwind of action. Edgar-Jones, known for her captivating role in Where the Crawdads Sing, and Powell, who shone in Hit Man, are teaming up to face off against the twisters. And they’re not just observing these tornadoes—they’re taking the fight to them with cutting-edge science. That's right, they're aiming to... well, take down a tornado using scientific methods! How cool is that?
The sequel promises a more intense experience, building on the original's legacy but with a modern twist. Expect jaw-dropping action sequences and some seriously high-stakes moments as our heroes take on nature's fury like never before.
Box Office Buzz
So, what’s the buzz around Twisters? Well, it looks like the film is already making waves. Analysts predict the movie could rake in around $55 million at the box office this weekend alone, according to Variety. That’s a strong start, and it's thanks in part to the collaborative marketing and distribution efforts by Warner Bros. and Universal.
But it’s not just the leads who are getting attention. The supporting cast is packed with talent, including Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, David Corenswet (our future Superman!), and Tunde Adebimpe from TV on the Radio. Their performances are sure to add depth and excitement to the story.
A Director’s Touch
Directed by Lee Isaac Chung, who previously wowed audiences with Minari and made a notable guest-directing appearance on The Mandalorian, Twisters benefits from a seasoned filmmaker's touch. Chung's knack for storytelling and his ability to handle high-pressure scenes make him an ideal fit for this high-octane sequel.
Will There Be More Twisters?
If Twisters performs as well as we think it will, don’t be surprised if you find yourself right back in the theater for more. The film even teases future possibilities with a mid-credits scene that hints at a new storm-chasing team coming together. Will Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell return for another round? Or will the next chapter introduce a whole new crew of tornado wranglers?
The idea of a third film is already sparking imaginations. Could it be called Twisters's? Or maybe Twistered? Perhaps even Twisters: Tokyo Twist? The possibilities are as endless as the storm clouds in these films!
Storm Chasing Thrills Await
So get ready for a wild ride with Twisters. Whether you’re a fan of the original or new to the storm-chasing scene, this sequel promises to deliver a thrilling and visually spectacular experience. Grab your popcorn and hang on tight—you’re in for a storm of epic proportions!
From heart-pounding action to the excitement of new scientific breakthroughs, Twisters is set to be a blockbuster hit.
