Disaster films have experienced a resurgence over the past few years, and this Steven Spielberg-produced movie with Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Anthony Ramos in the lead may end up becoming the biggest summer hit.Twistersis an upcoming movie from director Lee Isaac Chung that serves as the standalone sequel to the 1996 filmTwister.
One of the things that make this production unique is that they used real tornados in the scene rather than visual effects. Of course, the aid of technology will always be there, but to see a tornado up close on the big screen is something fans would never expect.
Glen Powell Revealed FilmingTwistersWith Real Tornados
During an interview withEmpire Magazine, filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung revealed they tried to be as realistic as possible. They did not rely on special effects alone, but they truly went ahead and sacrificed comfort for a compelling execution.
This is an elemental story, so I wanted us to go as practical as possible. We really tore things up. We had jet engines blowing. We had fans so massive you’d lose your hearing without earplugs. We were pelting our cast with everything – dirt, wind, ice.
The director admitted how tough it was to shoot a movie in a practical way. The weather was quite unpredictable which affected the production, causing too many delays and problems. However, Chung admitted, “It was my choice to do this in tornado season, but honestly, I still can’t believe we actually did it.”
Glen Powell, who shot to fame for his roles inTop Gun: MaverickandAnyone But You, shared the team flew drone cameras really close to the tornados. He exclaimed, “Audiences won’t have seen anything like this. We knocked this movie out of the park!”

None of the original cast will return in the sequel, butSteven Spielbergremains an executive producer.
Steven Spielberg Wanted Anthony Ramos To Speak In His Dialect
Anthony Ramos, who portrays Javi in the movie, revealed that Spielberg gave him a note on how to play his character. The actor toldEntertainment Weekly:
I heard Steven [Spielberg] was like, ‘No, I want him to do it in his dialect.’ It was a little surprising to me, but it was really cool, to me, because I’ve never heard someone who speaks in my vernacular.
Ramos envisioned his character to have a Southern accent, but he was happy to be able to use his “New York, Northeast, Latino dialect” in the movie.
