Twisters movie – but according to the film’s director, it was there all along.In the original 1996 incarnation of the movie Twister, starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, a flying cow that gets caught up in one of the tornadoes became an iconic image – so much so that filmmakers decided to pay homage to it in the follow-up, Twisters.Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos and more, the disaster film — a stand-alone sequel to the original — centres on a group of storm chasers trying to diffuse tornadoes with sodium polyacrylate solution.Recently, director Lee Isaac Chung said that the new film would avoid having a flying cow scene. However, he has now revealed that there is indeed a brief image of a cow up in the air in the film – and it was even one that he himself missed at first.“My god, everybody’s been wanting a cow in this movie,” he joked with The Hollywood Reporter, confirming that the cow can be seen towards the end of the film.He continued: “It’s the hardest thing to spot.

Twisters director Lee Isaac Chung has revealed his reasons for cutting a kiss scene at a pivotal point in the film.Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos and more, the disaster film — a stand-alone sequel to the 1996 movie Twister — centres on a group of storm chasers trying to diffuse tornadoes with sodium polyacrylate solution.It transpired that Edgar-Jones and Powell’s characters shared a kiss in one cut of the film, but it didn’t make it into the final edit. Set footage of the kiss went viral online in the days before Twisters arrived in cinemas, leaving fans disappointed to learn that it wasn’t in the final cut.Speaking about the decision, Chung told Collider: “I have to say, I like both versions and there were many arguments made to have them kiss.

Despite having made his name off small independent movies, especially with the intimate and subtle Oscar-nominated film “Minari,” filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung has proven with this weekend’s “Twisters” movie that he’s a versatile director and can handle blockbusters, action, and scale (read our review). We recently had Chung on The Playlist Podcast to talk with host Charles Barfield about all things “Twisters.” But, as the show noted, the filmmaker got his feet wet and blockbuster chops ready by directing two different “Star Wars” series, “The Mandalorian” and some upcoming episodes of the forthcoming series, “Skeleton Crew” (rumored to be arriving in December).

Released almost 30 years ago, “Twister” has stood the test of time to be a favorite among film fans. Now, decades later, we finally get a sequel to the original, titled “Twisters.” And filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung has joined The Playlist Podcast to talk about it.

Twisters looks set to lay waste to the worldwide box office this weekend, with predictions that it will blow past its 1996 prequel’s success.The film was released in UK cinemas today (July 17), and will hit the US on Friday. Variety projects that it will bring in an estimated $50million (£38million) from North American theatres in its first weekend, based on its early takings from international territories.Its predecessor Twister, which came out in the summer of 1996, opened to a lofty $41million (unadjusted for inflation), the sixth biggest opening weekend ever to that point, eventually becoming the second highest grossing film of 1996, after Independence Day.Twisters cost $155million to produce, so will require a big return from the box office, but the early signs are that it will be a success, although it will face stiff competition from Deadpool & Wolverine, which arrives the following weekend.Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell star in the film as two opposing figures who are in thrall to the megastorms, until they find themselves in a fight for their lives in rural Oklahoma.Minari director Lee Isaac Chung has helmed it, and it saw its first trailer premiere during the prestigious Super Bowl halftime show.

After the subtle, graceful, and sensitively directed humanist drama “Minari,” filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung pulls a massive 180 shift with the blockbuster-sized “Twisters,” a summer event/epic disaster movie that proves he has the chops to create extravagant action set pieces and popcorn-friendly spectacle, but at the expense of his intimate personal touches and affinity for anything resembling complexity. “Twisters” attempts to do it all: cineplex thrills, deadly serious viscerally dramatic treatments to harrowing sequences, light-hearted laughs, a burgeoning romance, and deep trauma from the past.

It’s a mixed bag for genres for upcoming movie releases this July. The biggest name is, without question, “Deadpool & Wolverine,” both for the star power involved and the lack of major competition this summer regarding box office success.

It’s been a fairly dreadful box office year so far, but it’s suddenly been picking up and getting wings. “Inside Out 2” grossed the $1 billion mark in two weeks, “Bad Boys: Ride Or Die” did well, and “A Quiet Place: Day One” posted some strong numbers too.

“Twister” is one of the best (if not the best) disaster movies of all time. And a large part of why the film has endured the test of time is the incredible cast and the characters they brought to life.

After the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the film industry is still trying to find its sea legs in 2024. While the box office has been lagging, and there’s been no “Super Mario Bros,” “Barbie,” or “Oppenheimer” so far this year, to be fair, most of those hits didn’t arrive until the summer (minus the Nintendo adaptation).

Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment are working together to resurrect the hit 1996 disaster blockbuster action film “Twister” for a new generation, as they’ve previously tapped “Minari” director Lee Isaac Chung to helm “Twisters.” Actress Daisy Edgar-Jones was recently cast in the studio tentpole, and they’ve now found their leading man to star opposite.
