If there’s anything wilder than the Twisters movie releasing in 2024, it’s the fan reaction that’s come since its debut. With Twisters’ “exceptional” opening box office on the board, the effects speak for themselves; especially when things seemed as intense as they did on the screen. Star Anthony Ramos has revealed that directing the film is indeed a “wild experiment”, and I don’t think he was comparing it to a turn at Universal Studios.
While speaking to the L. A. Times about the effects-packed experience of the ensemble adventure led by Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, he recalled the plethora of practical effects used in the large-scale production budget. In addition to comparing it to a thrilling universal attraction, the following story closely resembles how the production of the original Twister came about:
Yes, the Transformers have a lot of special effects, but that’s anything else. I mean, they had a jet engine from an airplane that they used to generate wind. It was so difficult that we went to the movies in our truck, which opened the door. and it’s like, “Hey, it’s going to fly away. ” Even filming the final scene, where Glen [Powell] is trapped and I’m trying to help him, we were bombarded with gallons of water. Two containers full of water were rushing towards us like a cannon. It’s like a Universal ride Studios. Es a crazy experience.
If you’ve listened to the interview with ReelBlend’s Jan de Bont, or if you’re just a fan of Twister, then you know the story, the harmonious combination of CGI and practical effects that went into making the film, a film that will most likely become an icon in the cultural lexicon. In this sense, reading the star of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts recounting similar tactics from the set of Twisters is an excellent and comfortable throwback.
As a huge fan of theme parks, I have very special emotions: one of the charms of Universal Studios that I would like to return to is linked to the story of Ramos. That would be the beloved charm Twister: Ride It Out, which closed in 2015 to make way for Race Through New York with Jimmy Fallon.
It’s a gigantic loss as far as I’m concerned, thanks to the nature of the adventure that approaches the love of old-school cinema at Universal Studios Orlando. In addition, you were able to see the safest aftershock but of maximum intensity. of a genuine tornado that was imaginable at the time. Combine all of that with the notorious pre-show video that actually showed the mythical tension between Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt, and you got a charm that many other people still don’t forget. affectionately.
Like a cow in a cyclone, this Twisters story returns to an engaging anecdote shared through Anthony Ramos. As he continued in that same interview, the star of the musical In the Heights told a story so crazy you can’t make it up; because it’s about our long-term Superman and the wrath of Mother Nature:
We had to finish the previous one several times. There was a scene where David Corenswet and I were filming in the car, and on us was this beautiful typhoon cloud. They told us that we had to prevent it because it was going to become something, and of course, that’s what happened. It turned into a real tornado and our director went after it with one of our typhoon hunting advisors, Sean.
For a symbol that carries the unofficial tagline “If you feel it, chase it,” this crossover between actor protection and cinematic madness feels like a building block for the potential long-term legacy Twisters could build among its fans. We’ll see what happens since lately Anthony Ramos can be seen chasing storms and acting on the big screen.
And if you’re looking for the closest thing to a theme park founded on this 2024 blockbuster, the Twisters 4DX experience may still be available at a theater near you.
