Lee Isaac Chung's action movie starring Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Anthony Ramos, and tons of tornadoes opens July 19.

Director Lee Isaac Chung ’s choice of Twister s as the follow-up to his Oscar -nominated Minari was surprising at first—but he’s since spoken about why he pivoted from family drama to tornado-fueled action. He himself grew up in the storm-plagued midwest, and he was excited by the film’s approach to science and the opportunity to expand upon the original Twister ’s use of special effects.

“What I was thinking as I was reading the script and planning the film was any time I personally had a question where I wondered, ‘What does that mean?’ that’s when I would assume we needed to tell the audience something.” Fans of 1996 original will recall that’s basically the entire function of the Jami Gertz character—to stand in for the audience anytime something needs explaining—and it sounds like the follow-up will take a similar, if perhaps less focused on a single character, approach.
