Glen Powell has explained how his upcoming disaster movie Twisters applies Tom Cruise's rule for making a global hit, indicating what the new film will be prioritizing. A standalone sequel to the 1996 movie Twister, the film stars Powell as tornado chaser Tyler Owens who teams up with scientist Kate Cooper (Daisy Edgar-Jones) in hunting down massive tornadoes. The story for Twisters indicates the large scope of destruction featured in the movie, something that may even rival the original.
Speaking with GQ, though, Powell revealed how the story pursued in Twisters applies Cruise's rule for making a global box office hit. The actor explained how his Top Gun: Maverick co-star told him how the most successful movies tap into emotions everyone can relate to. This is something the star decided to apply in his performance, given the relatability of wild weather phenomena to a broad audience. Check out what Powell had to say below:
You can look at a big disaster movie and go, ‘Oh cool, the world loves disaster movies.’ No, no. It’s about who we are in the face of disaster, and what the human instinct is in reacting to it. How do you put the audience in the cockpit? How do you put the audience on the ground in the face of a tornado?
