... is what a tornado is going to be doing! Or several. It's gonna be a real gale-force gang-bang up in here because our boy Glen is going to star in Twisters! Plural! The sequel to Twister, dontcha know. Him and Daisy Edgar-Jones, says Deadline (thx Mac). The original Twister hit in 1996 starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt of course, alongside a bunch of cyclone-bait like Cary Elwes and never-not-funny-that-he's-in-this Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I'm a massive fan of Twister, I've watched it a gazillion times, and I'm one thousand percent down for a new one -- hell I wish we got new disaster movies in movie theaters every single week. Seeing this will make me sad about the loss of Bill Paxton all over again (RIP king!) but Glen is a good modern-day equivalent. Will Helen Hunt cameo? She could be the Lois Smith equivalent this time around. I wonder if these characters will have connections to the original movie or just be new rando storm hunters. I can't imagine they won't strain for the thinnest of connections before the funnels start a'funnelin'.

I'm gonna disagree with you big-time on this. No way in hell is Powell a modern day equivalent of Paxton. Not even close. It's like ordering a pizza and getting a slice of wonder bread with ketchup.
Lois Smith is still around to play Lois Smith, dammit!
Powell is like a well put together side salad without the dressing,I don't get the infatuation with him.
I like disaster films but the last ones like Moonfall,Skyscraper and San Andreas were terrible and no fun,they concentrate so much on wowing is with sfx they don't give us characters we like or care for like they did in the 70's and then again in the 90's,if you watch a movie and you smile when Kylie Minogue is killed there's something wrong,blame lazy screenwriters who think we're just there for the carnage.
I'll still watch Twisters,I'm hoping for a Todd Field cameo as well as Helen Hunt.
"...but Glen is a good modern-day equivalent."
Powell and Paxton are not on the same ball field. That is a mighty stretch.
Both men are delicious and bring their unique thirsty talents.
"I can't imagine they won't strain for the thinnest of connections before the funnels start a'funnelin'."
The rumor is that the Daisy Edgar-Jones character is the daughter of Paxton and Hunt. Which means a Helen Hunt cameo is probably very likely.
