The hit sequel to the 1996 blockbuster film is now available to buy or rent on digital at Prime Video , Apple TV and other premium video-on-demand platforms. The film stars Daisy Edgar-Jones as a former storm chaser-turned-meteorologist Kate Cooper and Glen Powell as Tyler Owens, a YouTube star and self-professed “tornado wrangler.” Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea , Sasha Lane and David Corenswet also star in the new movie.
Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton starred in the original film, Twister , which was released on May 10, 1996, and earned $495 million globally. Powell recently revealed that he keeps Paxton’s memory alive by using an acting trick that the late actor shared with him when they starred together in Red Wing .
“As an actor, sometimes you have to shoot outdoors and you’re kind of squinting and whatnot and he taught me this trick that if you close your eyes and you look up at the sun, it warms your eyes up to the sun and you can open your eyes,” Powell shared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert . “So while we were shooting Twisters , I was shooting outdoors the whole time so I’d used that trick my entire career since meeting Bill. And on Twisters I really felt like every time I closed my eyes, I got to think of Bill which was great.”
Edgar-Jones has been whipping up a style storm for her press tour looks on Twisters . The British actress works with celebrity stylist Dani Michelle, who has dressed the star in a backless ivory Gucci gown for the film’s red carpet premiere in Los Angeles, a dark cutout Coperni dress for Twisters ‘ Seoul event and a structured gown by Vivienne Westwood for the London premiere, to name just a few.
