Lee Isaac Chung directs Glen Powell, Kiernan Shipka, Daisy Edgar-Jones, David Corenswet, Anthony Ramos, Maura Tierney, and more in the update to 1996’s Twister.
In 1996, when Twister was released, “climate change” didn’t quite carry the very real, very doom-laden weight that it does now. These days, dangerously freaky weather grabs alarmingly regular headlines, so the time feels ripe for an update—and here comes Twisters to bring us killer tornados aplenty.
Note that Twisters isn’t being marketed as a sequel to Twister, Jan de Bont’s summer blockbuster that starred Helen Hunt and the late Bill Paxton as married but estranged storm chasers, along with a huge ensemble cast that included Cary Elwes, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Alan Ruck, and Jami Gertz.
