Twisters' MPA rating confirms it will surpass the original film in one respect

Summary

  • Twisters' PG-13 rating promises intense disaster scenes that are likely to surpass the classic original.
  • With an estimated budget of $200 million, “Twisters” is expected to surpass the box office success of the original.
  • Directed by Glen Powell, “Twisters” raises high expectations for an exciting, action-packed cinema experience.


The official MPA rating for Twisters is a great indication of how it can surpass its predecessor. Although the original Twisters is a classic blockbuster and received a PG-13 rating upon its release, the limited technology of the 1996 film pales in comparison to what is possible today and what is expected of the upcoming Twisters. Current publications such as Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga And Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning restored the status quo of what makes a truly great action film, an elite category that Twisters hopes to join this July.

The cast of Twisters is led by Glen Powell as Tyler Owens, a fierce storm chaser who bears a resemblance to Dr. Jonas Miller (Cary Elwes) in the original. Twisters has an estimated budget of 200 million US dollars and will likely have to surpass the original's box office total of nearly $500 million to turn a profit when marketing and other promotional costs are taken into account. Twisters will also star Daisy Edgar-Jones, Anthony Ramos, David Corenswet and Kiernan Shipka, and will be directed by Lee Issac Chung of Minari Recognition.
