Twisters director Lee Isaac Chung with cast members Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos at the film’s premiere in Los Angeles on July 11.LOS ANGELES/LONDON – Twisters, Hollywood’s latest attempt to reboot nostalgic blockbusters for modern audiences, might seem an unlikely next career step for Korean-American film-maker Lee Isaac Chung.
But even if it drew on nostalgia for the Deep South, it was a long way from Twister – the big, brash 1996 blockbuster starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt that terrified audiences with devastating Oklahoma tornadoes, brought to life with nascent computer-generated effects. Twisters employed the talents of Hollywood veteran George Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic, to generate “really epic” effects, said Chung.
It stars British actress Daisy Edgar-Jones as a meteorologist and American actor Glen Powell as a daredevil storm chaser and superstar streamer, whose paths cross during a once-in-a-generation tornado outbreak in Oklahoma Powell’s character is a former rodeo star and self-titled “tornado wrangler”, whose rowdy team courts danger with gusto. Powell, a Texan, said both the original movie and the reboot resonated with him personally.
