Glen Powell, star of the upcoming film 'Twisters', has clarified in multiple interviews that the movie is not a sequel, reboot, or remake of the 1996 film 'Twister'.
The new film, directed by Lee Isaac Chung, is a completely original story with no characters from the original movie, making it a standalone story in the modern day.
