Glen Powell ("Top Gun: Maverick") is in talks to star in "Twisters", the sequel to the 1996 blockbuster "Twister". The film will be directed by Lee Isaac Chung ("Minari") from a script by Mark L. Smith ("The Revenant").
The sequel also stars Daisy Edgar-Jones ("Where the Crawdads Sing"). The film will be released in theaters on July 19, 2024.
The original film was directed by Jan De Bont ("Speed") from a screenplay by author Michael Crichton, and executive produced by Steven Spielberg. The plot followed a team of storm-chasers as they hunt down the most powerful tornado in decades. The cast included Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Carey Elwes and Philip Seymour Hoffman. "Twister" grossed nearly $500 million at the box-office and received two Oscar nominations for Best Visual Effects and Sound.
Warner Bros. Pictures is co-financing "Twisters" with Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley ("Jurassic World Dominion") producing via the Kennedy/Marshall Company. Universal's executive VP of production Sara Scott and creative executive Jacqueline Garell will oversee the production for the studio, and Ashley Jay Sandberg will oversee for Kennedy/Marshall.
Powell is currently filming Sony's untitled romantic comedy directed by Will Gluck and co-starring Sydney Sweeney ("Euphoria").
