If you’re a fan of fierce storm-chasing adventures and thrilling dramas, then you’ve probably started hearing all the buzz about Twisters. This stormy new film is making huge waves and is off to a fantastic start at the box office.

A Toast to Bill Paxton

Glen Powell, one of the stars of Twisters, took a moment before the premiere to pay tribute to his late co-star, Bill Paxton. If you’re up to speed with your movie knowledge, you’ll remember that Paxton was a powerhouse on the set of the original 1996 Twister film. Despite some differences on the set, Paxton alongside Helen Hunt made the classic film an unforgettable viewing experience.

Powell took to Twitter to share his respect and admiration for Paxton. He wrote, “As we release Twisters into the world today, I just wanted to look up and tip my hat to the legend that is Bill Paxton. A great friend of mine who saw poetry in the natural world. His boots are impossible to fill, but this life is all about chasing the greats.”

The Storm Returns with Twisters

The new Twisters film is off to a promising start. It’s already brought in $10 million from previews alone, and experts are saying it could make close to $40 million, or even up to $75 million during its opening weekend. That’s a huge blow!

Our new storm-chasing saga, directed by Lee Isaac Chung, revolves around Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser who left the thrilling field following a devastating encounter with a tornado. Played by Edgar-Jones, Kate now safely observes storm patterns from her New York City screen. Things take a turn when her friend Javi lures her back to the storm-chasing life to test a new tracking system.

Enter Tyler Owns (Glen Powell), a charming social-media superstar who posts his daring storm-chasing exploits online. As storm season intensifies, audiences are in for a gripping ride with Kate, Tyler, and their competing storm-chasing teams.

A Thunderous Cast

Twisters come with an impressive cast roster. With Brandon Perea (Nope), 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), Twisters promises to offer fans an electrifying experience.

Twisters is set to carve a new path of destruction in cinemas, not just with a gripping storyline but also with an homage to one of the greats in the industry. Are you ready to experience Twisters this weekend? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Remembering Twister’s Icon

Glen Powell’s tribute to the late Bill Paxton adds an emotional edge to the film. Paxton’s energy and entertaining approach is a highlight of the first Twister film that is sure to be missed in this sequel. After all, as Powell said, his boots are impossible to fill. As Twisters churns into theaters, Paxton’s memory continues to influence its storm-chasing world. We feel his absence but his legacy remains, much like the thrill and awe-inspiring experiences Twister continues to convey.
