Going from awards darling Minari to a full-scale blockbuster likeTwistersmight have seemed like an unexpected career path, but director Lee Isaac Chung pulled it off with aplomb, bringing heart and character to super-sized summer spectacle.
But it wasn’t as if Chung had no franchise experience on his CV before Twisters. He previously directed an episode of The Mandalorian, and will be helming an upcoming instalment of new Star Wars TV show Skeleton Crew.
On theInside Total Film podcastand speaking with GamesRadar+, Chung teased what we can expect from the show. “I can’t wait for people to see this thing,” he says during our interview for Twisters. “It’s got a lot of Jon Watts in it, and anyone who’s a fan of what Jon Watts does – he’s very childlike in a beautiful way, in the way that he tells stories, and how he captures a childlike perspective in things. He brings that beautiful perspective to this story of young people in the Star Wars universe.”
“What I hope is that it’s really going to touch families, and families are going to want to spend a lot of time with the show.”
