The ’90s Blockbuster Finally Gets an Update

Almost 30 years after it helped set new requirements in visible results with its spectacular tornados, Twister is lastly getting a sequel.

Wait, is it a sequel? Dubbed Twisters, the brand new movie is technically described within the official publicity supplies as “a current-day chapter of the 1996 blockbuster.” It doesn’t function any of the surviving forged members from the unique movie, and as a substitute stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell in what seems to be extra like a sort of reboot of the unique idea — they’re described as enjoying “opposing forces who come together to try to predict, and possibly tame, the immense power of tornadoes.” (In the unique movie, Helen Hunt and the late Bill Paxton had been exes and storm chasers who teamed as much as check out a brand new invention.)

The results and the yelling undoubtedly make it look so much like the unique Twister — try the movie’s trailer beneath:

Here is Twisters’ official synopsis:

Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a twister throughout her faculty years who now research storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured again to the open plains by her pal, Javi (Golden Globe nominee Anthony Ramos, In the Heights) to check a groundbreaking new monitoring system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Powell), the charming and reckless social-media celebrity who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures together with his raucous crew, the extra harmful the higher. As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena by no means seen earlier than are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing groups discover themselves squarely within the paths of a number of storm programs converging over central Oklahoma within the struggle of their lives.

There’s a poster for the movie as properly…

Someone clarify to me why the film is known as Twisters however there’s just one tornado on the poster. That feels flawed to me.

Twisters is scheduled to open in theaters on July 19.
