‘It’s Amazing’: Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones Recall How Steven Spielberg’s ‘Note’ Helped Change Twisters Ending

by

As a lifestyle expert with extensive experience in the entertainment industry, I believe that every detail in a film, especially its ending, plays a crucial role in resonating with audiences and leaving a lasting impact. In the case of Twisters, the decision to remove the kissing scene between Glen Powell’s character Tyler Owens and Daisy Edgar-Jones’ Kate Carter, upon Steven Spielberg’s suggestion, was a brilliant move.

Glen Powell and his co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones recently revealed how legendary director Steven Spielberg’s ‘note’ helped change the ending of their newly released film Twisters. In Lee Isaac Chung’s disaster film, Powell stars as Tyler Owens, a famous storm chaser, and Edgar-Jones depicts the lead role as Kate Carter, a meteorologist.

As a seasoned movie critic with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can tell you that behind-the-scenes tales like this one are always fascinating to me. I remember back in the day when I first heard about Steven Spielberg’s decision to cut a scene featuring two actors sharing an on-screen kiss in one of his movies. I was blown away by the impact such a seemingly small change could have on the film’s conclusion.

Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones reveal how Steven Spielberg’s advice changed the Twisters’ ending

In a recent conversation with Collider, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell from the film “Twisters” shared some unexpected information about the movie’s finale. The film, directed by Lee Isaac Chung, is actually a continuation of the 1996 blockbuster disaster movie “Twister,” which focused on a new team of storm chasers, Tyler Owens and Kate Carter, who bravely experiment with a tornado detection system in Oklahoma.

The outlet inquired of the Twisters actors if a kissing scene had been removed following Spielberg’s suggestion. The actress from Normal People questioned her costar Powell, saying, “I believe it was Spielberg’s note, correct?” She went on to explain that this change kept the film from appearing overly “predictable” or “cliched.”

Edgar-Jones expressed her perspective on the story’s conclusion, expressing her admiration and sense of continuity. She believed that this wasn’t the final chapter for the characters as they were bound together by their mutual devotion to a common interest.

Glen Powell shares his thoughts on Steven Spielberg’s advice for Twisters

I resonate with Glen Powell’s perspective. According to him, in his interview with Collider, the film isn’t essentially about our characters discovering “love”; instead, it’s about Kate rediscovering her zest for storm chasing. He emphasized that by the end of the movie, both Kate’s passion and her sense of belonging have been “rekindled.”

The actor involved in the “Anyone but You” film added that he felt a kiss wouldn’t accurately reflect the desired outcome at the end of the movie. He expressed his thoughts, saying, “It’s a great Spielberg touch. That’s why the kid stays in this competition. It’s really something special.”

Lee Isaac Chung’s “Twisters” is currently showing in cinemas. The stellar cast includes Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell, as well as Anthony Ramos, Maura Tierney, Brandon Perea, David Corenswet, and Harry Hadden-Paton, amongst other notable actors.
