Twisters Director Reveals The Key Element From The OG Film That Was ‘Essential’ For The Sequel



A new Twister sequel is spinning into theaters this July on the 2024 movie schedule, and if you’re a fan of the 1996 original—which starred Helen Hunt, Cary Elwes, Philip Seymour Hoffman and the late, great Bill Paxton as amateur storm chasers contending with a tornado outbreak in Oklahoma—we’ve got good news. 

According to Twisters director Lee Isaac Chung, the new disaster film will echo elements of its predecessor, as he recently revealed to Entertainment Weekly in an interview alongside the sequel’s stars Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones. Based on the film’s trailer, which debuted during the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 11, the standalone sequel won’t feature any of the characters from the original, but it will feel similar to the ’90s favorite, the director assured: 

What was essential to me was that it always felt like in that first movie, which didn’t necessarily feel like a disaster movie. To me, it felt like an adventure movie, and I always loved how that movie inspired a generation of meteorologists and people who were interested in science and weather just because it made that study feel like it was an adventure. That’s something that I wanted to retain with this one.
