Twisters On OTT
The second half of the year kicked off on an exciting note as the West saw the release of many awaited movies. One of them was Twisters which rode on the legacy of the 1996 movie that was highly acclaimed. Starring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, Twisters turned out to be a well-received film that honored the legacy of the original. The movie hit the big screens in July, and fans have since been eagerly waiting for it to drop on streaming platforms. The anticipation built up, and now the wait is finally over as fans can watch it on streaming.
Directed by Lee Isaac Chung, Twisters turned out to be a film that cine-goers were excited about. Now, as it embarks on its digital journey, we bring you all the details. According to the latest update, the movie has dropped on Amazon Prime Video. However, there’s a catch—the film is currently available for rent. We will keep you informed when the film becomes available in the common library without the rental fee. Until then, enjoy the Glen Powell starrer on Prime Video.
Taking cues from the 1996 film of the same name, Twisters is set in Oklahoma, where storms and tornadoes are as destructive as Thanos, threatening to obliterate everything in their path. Kate (Daisy Edgar-Jones), a brilliant mind, is determined to stop the destruction and save her hometown after losing three friends while working on a solution for her school project. Half a decade later, another friend who survived, Javi (Anthony Ramos), brings her back and sets her up on the mission once again, this time with Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), a Tornado Wrangler/Influencer. Together, they stand against a deadly tornado that could destroy the entire town.
There’s one specific action sequence in Twisters that Glen Powell believes is among the most incredible action pieces ever. “There’s a sequence in the movie that I think is going to be one of the most incredible action sequences of all time,” Powell said, according to IndieWire. “It all happens in one continuous shot, and we filmed that in December with a rain machine. One of the coldest nights I’ve ever experienced, getting dragged across a pool by a wire.”
To give you an idea, Lee Isaac Chung did not want to use CGI to depict people getting sucked into the tornado. He aimed for a realistic portrayal and had the actors perform the stunts to achieve that effect. “This was maybe the most physical thing I’ve ever done. You’re talking about humans getting sucked up into a tornado, but you’re recreating what it’s like to be hit by debris and all that stuff. You’re watching real stuntmen getting pulled into the sky, trucks moving across the ground, and you’re jumping into a pool and getting dragged. It’s a fully physical experience,” Glen Powell said.
