Twisters is an epic studio disaster movie distributed by Universal Studios. Check out this latest featurette to go behind the scenes of the creation of this big-screen thrill ride coming off the original film.
A former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City.

There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens, the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better.
As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler, and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.

00:00Stay tuned. It's going to get dramatic.
00:03That was really well timed.
00:06We got to go! We got to go!
00:19The once in a generation tornado outbreak continues across Oklahoma.
00:23It's so magic to be here filming Twisters. I'm a huge fan of the original,
00:27so I just kind of can't believe that we've dropped into this world.
00:31Oh, she's perfect!
00:32She's gorgeous!
00:35The original Twister, when it came out, it meant a great deal to me
00:38because I was watching a film that took place around where I grew up.
00:42I grew up on a farm just outside of Westville, Oklahoma,
00:45and that terrain, that landscape is a part of me.
00:50Just another good day, and good weather here in Oklahoma.
00:53The fact that we're getting to shoot this in Oklahoma is really crucial,
00:56and also, it's such a character in the movie.
00:58It's all about community, it's all about home,
01:00and it's all about this mutual love of the way everyone looks up at the sky
01:02with reverence and awe.
01:09When we were filming in Oklahoma in the summer,
01:11we kept having to shut down for actual weather.
01:14Ladies and gentlemen, listen up!
01:15We are unfortunately in a lightning delay.
01:18My first night coming here, we go to eat after,
01:21and the windows are rattling at the spot, and I'm like, yo!
01:27People that are background actors are actual storm chasers,
01:30so in between takes, I just got everyone coming up to me,
01:33just, hey, if you ever want to go on a chase, let me know.
01:35If you feel it, chase it!
01:37We are in the Mecca for tornadoes,
01:40so to have crew members literally leave set and go to storm chase
01:43is a really unique thing.
01:45Let's ride.
01:47We've all seen clouds over the course of our lives,
01:49but very rarely do you understand them.
01:51Look out!
01:52And I think that's the magic of a movie like this.
01:54It breeds curiosity and it breeds fascination
01:56with stuff we've been seeing every day for our whole lives.
01:58What we're doing could save thousands of lives.
02:01You think you can disrupt a tornado?
02:03We never had a chance.
02:04You want one?
02:06This is a film about science, it's about hope,
02:08it's about people trying to work together to solve problems,
02:11and it's also about revering and honoring,
02:14respecting and loving nature.
