Hold on to your seats, the first trailer for Twisters is here thanks to the Super Bowl - and it looks like disaster is looming.
The film, directed by Lee Isaac Chung who is best known for beloved indie hit Minari, is a standalone sequel to the 1996 classic movie (which starred Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton) about a group of storm chasers. This new reimagining starsTop Gun: Maverick’s Glen Powell as a self-described daredevil “tornado wrangler” and Normal People’s Daisy Edgar-Jones as a scientist, from the leading duo.Transformers: Rise of the Beasts' Anthony Ramos, Sasha Lane, Kiernan Shipka, Katy O’Brian, and Superman himself David Corenswet fill out the supporting cast in the all-star disaster flick.
The trailer gives us our first insight into the plot of the disaster movie too, which up until now has been under wraps. Crucially this time around our storm chasers encounter not one but two tornados, with the words “we’ve got twins” telling us exactly what the twist (pun not intended) is with this new instalment. It appears that we have levelled up with the storms due to the results of climate change - a rather timely tweak then.
And as you would expect given that this is a teaser for a disaster movie, there is plenty of carnage. People are thrown wildly into the air, farms are completely torn up, cars are destroyed, and, well, everything goes flying. We absolutely can’t wait - in fact, you could say we are blown away (again, pun not intended, trust us).
