Filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung, best known for the 2020 film Minari, directed the 2024 release. In addition to Glen and Daisy, the movie features Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, Maura Tierney, and others in the supporting cast. Glen has been getting all the right reactions for his latest movies, including Anyone But You and Hitman.

She soon crosses paths with Tyler Owens, a charming but reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures. As storm season intensifies, Kate, Tyler, and their competing teams fight for their lives as multiple systems converge over central Oklahoma.”

Movie editor Ian Sandwell wrote, “The story leaves something to be desired, but #Twisters absolutely delivers where it matters with huge-scale thrilling set pieces. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell are an engaging lead duo, but it’s Brandon Perea who steals every scene he’s in.”

Manuel São Bento’s review of Twisters reads, “TWISTERS is exactly what one expects from a disaster flick – not more, not less. Adrenaline-fueled action, a predictable yet effective story & compelling protagonists elevated by Daisy Edgar-Jones & Glen Powell. It fulfills its sole, valid purpose of entertaining its target audience while reminding us of the importance of humanity & altruism in times of crisis.”
