The highly anticipated movie "Twisters" hits theaters later this week, and the film's stars walked the red carpet on Monday at the Harkins Theatre for its Oklahoma City premiere.Numerous Oklahomans grew up watching the original 1996 blockbuster "Twister," a fact that the sequel's actors are aware of. They told KOCO 5 that so much time went into learning about the reality of severe weather in Oklahoma."Being from Texas, the closest I get to Oklahoma is the Red River Rivalry, Longhorns vs. Sooners," Glen Powell said.Powell might be a Texan, but don't panic. He said he's got no beef with Oklahomans who hate Bevo and throw their horns down."It's always weird when I go into enemy territory and I fall in love with all the people," Powell said.He also told KOCO 5 that the role of Tyler Owens, a storm chaser who leads a group called the "Tornado Wranglers," as well as a cowboy hat, fit him pretty well. "Do I think I look good in a cowboy hat? You know, I was born in a cowboy hat. That's really my natural resting place. Maybe it's just comfort, you know?" Powell said. The other stars — Anthony Ramos and Daisy Edgar-Jones — said they got a good dose of the Oklahoma way of life. They filmed "Twisters" during the spring of 2023. And as far as severe weather goes, we all remember how that went."Craziest reality for me was just realizing that people were just not phased by the weather here," Ramos said."The world of extreme weather is so a part of the grit of this place. It was really cool to be here and film," Edgar-Jones said.Edgar-Jones knows the original "Twister" movie was a big part of life for Oklahoma families when it first came out and the decades that followed. As the lead role, she thinks the new "Twisters" respects the original with a modern take and a wilder ride."There's so much love for the original in our film, and so it's exciting to be diving back into the world of storm chasing in 2024," Edgar-Jones said. "It was amazing in the original. They're navigating the roads with paper maps, and now we have phones."
