Hollywood star Glen Powell says his 💫upcoming spin-off mo❀vie to blockbuster movie 'Twisters' is a "completely original story".
'Minari' maker Lee Isaac Chung is directing the film from a script by 'The Revenant' writer Mark L Smith.ꦺ The movie will also🍬 feature Daisy Edgar-Jones.
The 1996 original, starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, c🗹entered around a separated storm-chasing couple who reunite to track the storm of the century in Oklahoma.
Powell, known for movies 'Everybody Wants Some!!' and 'Top Gun: Maverick',📖 said he recently completed f♏ilming the new 'Twisters' film, which is a standalone story.
"It’s definitely not a reboot. We’re not 🧸trying to recreate the story from the first one. It’s a completely original story. There are no characters from the original movie back, so it’s not really a continu👍ation.
"It’s just its own stan💦dalone story in the modern-day. I don’t think anyone has brought up this movie in forever, but talking to people, they’re like, 'That was one of my favourite movies growing up. That movie terrified me'," the 35-year-old actor said.
Powell recalled the advice he got from Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise when they were working on the 2022 hit 'Top Gun: Maverick', which was a sequel to Cruis♓e's 1986 movie 'Top Gun'.
"When I was working on 'Top Gun', Cruise brought up a really interesting thing, where he’s like, 'If you want to 🌟make movies of a certain size and scope and scale, you have to figure out what can connect with everyone around the world in ev♏ery territory.'
"And humans versus weather is a very universal idea—how powerless we really are in the face of these cataclysmic forces," thꦿe actor said🐓.
The new "Twist🔯ers" movie, backed by Universal and Amblin Entertainment, will also feature Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea and Daryl McCormack.
