Lee Isaac Chung revealed how a scene in his previous movie, Minari, inspired the tornado sequel.
When Lee Isaac Chung was announced as the director of the long-awaited sequel Twisters , many of us scratched our heads. Chung is, obviously, a talented filmmaker. His most recent film, Minari , had just come off multiple Oscar nominations including a win. But to go from that small, personal film to the big-budget sequel to a beloved, albeit admittedly dumb blockbuster seemed a little beneath him. In fact, it was the opposite.
“I remember thinking, ‘I didn’t know you could chase after these things,’” Chung said. “That, to me, was very mind-blowing.” After getting the job, Chung was adamant that he had to shoot it on location in Oklahoma, which is exactly what happened. “I felt like I was coming back home,” Chung said. “Minari and Twisters, even though they’re very different, I kind of think of them as my Oklahoma movies.” And, on at least one occasion, filming had to stop because of actual tornadoes.
