Twisters is coming to streaming.

The sorta-sequel to the 1996 blockbuster Tornado had an enormous run in theaters over the summer time, grossing $267 million in U.S. theaters and $370 million internationally, making it one of many ten greatest movies of the 12 months worldwide. Now it’s set to debut on Peacock.

Starring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, and directed by Minari’s Lee Isaac Chung, Twisters follows a brand new era of storm chasers seeking to check high-tech gear within the area (i.e. by driving headlong into tornados) as a way to lastly predict the paths of twisters, and thus save numerous lives by giving individuals quicker warnings after they’re headed their approach.

The unique movie, directed by Jan de Bont, had a really related premise, and starred the late Invoice Paxton and Helen Hunt as a separated married couple who reunite to chase some tornados. Hunt didn’t seem in Twisters, however their massive MacGuffin — a flowery twister measuring system named Dorothy — did seem a number of occasions in the brand new movie.

I’m undecided I’d name Twisters a traditional — I’m undecided I’d name the unique Tornado a traditional, for that matter — but it surely was a fairly good time on the films. As I wrote in a listing of the summer time films of 2024…

Lee Isaac Chung’s Twisters was one of many extra devoted sequels of the summer time — in that it has a lot of the identical strengths and weaknesses of the unique Tornado. The solid is nice, the consequences are stable, the twister measuring expertise is probably the most impractical nonsense conceivable, and the story construction calls for the heroes fail time and again till the final and most dramatic twister.

A part of the pleasure of Twisters was seeing it on the large display screen, and particularly with a booming, seat-rocking sound system. How that may translate to watching the film on TV I can’t say, however I’d positively be certain that my sound system is correctly calibrated and turned all the way in which up earlier than urgent play.

Twisters begins streaming on Peacock on November 15.
