Twisters Director Reveals How the Sequel Will Honor the 90s Original

Twisters, directed by Lee Isaac Chung, is bringing gigantic tornadoes to the big screen, and will do so by honoring the 90s original and shooting on 35mm film. Despite digital cameras being the mainstay in Hollywood filmmaking, many directors still prefer to shoot on analog film. Twisters is the second major motion picture this summer to be shot on film, with Yorgos Lanthimos also using analog film for his recent film, Kinds of Kindness. In a new featurette by Kodak, director Lee Isaac Chung explained his decision to shoot the blockbuster, disaster film entirely on Kodak 35MM. Shot on location in Oklahoma, Chung said that a large part of the decision came from wanting to capture the natural, vibrant colors of the state.
