Twisters - A Look Inside Featurette

Go behind-the-scenes with stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and director Lee Isaac Chung to see the making of this summer's highly-anticipated natural disaster movie!
Mix storm chasing with 'seriously?' and you get this summer's epic studio disaster movie return! We return to the adrenaline-pumping, seat-gripping, big-screen cinematic thrill ride that puts you in direct contact with one of nature’s most wondrous-and destructive-forces. Not one, but two!
From the producers of the ‘Jurassic,’ ‘Bourne’ and ‘Indiana Jones’ series comes ‘Twisters,’ a current-day chapter of the 1996 blockbuster, 'Twister.' Directed by Lee Isaac Chung, the Oscar-nominated writer-director of Minari, the film stars Golden Globe nominee Daisy Edgar-Jones ('Where the Crawdads Sing,' 'Normal People') and Glen Powell ('Anyone But You,' 'Top Gun: Maverick') as opposing forces who come together to try to predict, and possibly tame, the immense power of tornadoes.
Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi (Golden Globe nominee Anthony Ramos, 'In the Heights') to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better.
As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.
Twisters features an exciting new cast, including Nope’s Brandon Perea, Sasha Lane ('American Honey'), Daryl McCormack ('Peaky Blinders'), Kiernan Shipka ('Chilling Adventures of Sabrina'), Nik Dodani ('Atypical') and Golden Globe winner Maura Tierney ('Beautiful Boy').
Ben Snow serves as production VFX supervisor - ILM is handling the whirlwind of VFX for the film.
From Amblin Entertainment, the film is directed by Lee Isaac Chung and is produced by Oscar nominee Frank Marshall ('Jurassic' and 'Indiana Jones' franchises) and by Patrick Crowley ('Jurassic' and 'Bourne' franchises). The screenplay is by Mark L. Smith, writer of the Best Picture nominee 'The Revenant.' Distribution is by Universal Pictures domestically and by Warner Bros. Pictures internationally.
Coming to theaters July 19, 2024.
