Twisters - "Experience Twisters" - Featurette
This summer, the epic studio disaster movie returns with an adrenaline-pumping, seat-gripping, big-screen thrill ride that puts you in direct contact with one of nature’s most wondrous—and destructive—forces.
From the producers of the Jurassic, Bourne and Indiana Jones series comes Twisters, a current-day chapter of the 1996 blockbuster, Twister. Directed by Lee Isaac Chung, the Oscar® nominated writer-director of Minari, Twisters stars Golden Globe nominee Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the Crawdads Sing, Normal People) and Glen Powell (Anyone But You, Top Gun: Maverick) as opposing forces who come together to try to predict, and possibly tame, the immense power of tornadoes.
Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Cooper, 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. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi (Golden Globe nominee Anthony Ramos, In the Heights) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Powell), 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.
Twisters also stars Brandon Perea, Sasha Lane (American Honey), Daryl McCormack (Peaky Blinders), Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Nik Dodani (Atypical) and Golden Globe winner Maura Tierney (Beautiful Boy).
From Amblin Entertainment, Twisters is directed by Lee Isaac Chung and is produced by Oscar® nominee Frank Marshall (Jurassic and Indiana Jones franchises) and by Patrick Crowley (Jurassic and Bourne franchises). The screenplay is by Mark L. Smith, writer of the Best Picture nominee The Revenant. Twisters will be distributed by Universal Pictures domestically and by Warner Bros. Pictures internationally.
Twisters hits cinemas on 19th July.

00:00All right, pictures up. Here we go. Let's start bringing the weather up, weather up.
00:07Tornado has touched down near the area. We need to evacuate this arena right now.
00:14These tornadoes are more realistic than any tornadoes anyone has ever seen on film.
00:19We can prevent all this.
00:20I keep chasing that same old devil down the same old dead end.
00:27The magic trick of this movie is the blurred lines between visual and practical effects.
00:32I couldn't believe the scale.
00:34Once in a generation tornado outbreak continues across Oklahoma.
00:38You think you can disrupt a tornado?
00:40In Derry, I never had a chance to get close enough.
00:44You want one?
00:46Put your harness on.
00:47I ain't scared of nothing and I'm scared to death.
00:50I can't breathe and I catch my breath.
00:54The art department, special effects, everyone's just doing such an amazing job.
00:58You're getting hit with water and ice and debris.
01:03When you have someone shooting you with a jet engine, there's really nothing like it.
01:09I'm very at one with nature right now.
01:17The adrenaline of that action, like my brain knows it's not real.
01:21My body does not know that it's not real.
01:28Hold on, hold on, hold on.
01:32In terms of the sound.
01:35In terms of the scope.
01:37I cannot wait to watch an audience watch this movie.
