Is Twisters 2024 a remake or a sequel?
While Twisters draws inspiration from the original 1996 film Twister, it is neither a direct remake nor a straightforward sequel. Instead, it serves as a contemporary chapter in the storm-chasing saga, revitalising the concept for modern audiences. By blending elements of the original’s high-octane thrills with fresh perspectives and cutting-edge storm-tracking technology, director Lee Isaac Chung offers a unique and compelling continuation of the story, inviting both longtime fans and new viewers to experience the untamed power of tornadoes in an entirely new light.
What is the plot of Twisters?
Set against the backdrop of central Oklahoma’s tornado alley, Twisters follows the gripping journey of Kate Cooper, portrayed by Golden Globe nominee Daisy Edgar-Jones. Kate, a former storm chaser now settled into the safer confines of New York City’s research labs, is haunted by a traumatic encounter with a tornado during her college years. Her tranquil life is upended when her friend Javi convinces her to return to the field to test a groundbreaking new storm-tracking system. Once back in the open plains, she encounters Tyler Owens, a charming and reckless social media superstar, played by Glen Powell, who thrives on the thrill of storm-chasing with his adventurous crew. As storm season reaches a crescendo, Kate and Tyler’s paths collide in a high-stakes battle against unprecedented weather phenomena, forcing them to confront nature’s fury and their own personal demons.
Who is in the cast?
Twisters boasts a stellar ensemble cast that brings this thrilling narrative to life. Daisy Edgar-Jones takes on the lead role of Kate Cooper, while Glen Powell stars as the daredevil Tyler Owens. The cast also includes Anthony Ramos, David Corenswet, Brandon Perea, Sasha Lane, Daryl McCormack, Kiernan Shipka, Nik Dodani, and Maura Tierney.
