The team is focused on bringing the strength of tornadoes straight to the audience through the content they produce, even if the activity constantly puts their lives at risk. But the leads ofTwistersare ready to take on anything nature has prepared for them.
The new sneak peek fromTwistersfeatures the main cast of the movie, includingGlen Powell,Daisy Edgar-Jones,Anthony Ramos, andKaty O’Brian. Powell will play Tyler Owens, the fearless leader of the team. The character won’t let anything stop him down while trying to get as close to a major tornado as possible. He will be joined in his quest by Kate Carter (Edgar-Jones), another researcher excited about using plenty of technological equipment to study the natural disasters from a close distance. While the team doesn’t mind the danger tornadoes represent, the upcoming sequel will put them in a particularly deathly situation.

Who Wrote ‘Twisters’?
TheTwistersscreenplay needed to be written by someone who understood what made the first movie such a major hit when it premiered in theaters, and what narrative could continue its legacy so many years later. The studio decided to hireMark L. Smithfor the job. The screenwriter recently worked onThe Marsh King’s Daughter, the drama starringDaisy RidleyandBen Mendelsohnabout a young woman confronting the mysteries of her past. Before that, Smith also worked onThe RevenantandVacancy. Judging by the team behind the project, it could be said thatTwistersis in good hands.
