Steven Spielberg Requests Final Kiss Scene for Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones in Twisters

Dubbed as “Coming Quietly and Unexpectedly” for “Twisters”, it is a sequel to the hurricane thriller “Twister” (1996), which although it is a standalone sequel, does not contain any related content. None of the actors from the first part returned. But the income generation is considered at a quite satisfactory level. It is currently generating a total revenue of 123 million baht worldwide.

The film is praised. Especially the chemistry between actresses Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, who viewers have praised as another couple this year that adds to the romance, it's interesting amidst a dramatic situation, but there are some fans who are not satisfied with the film. . Because before the film was released, a behind-the-scenes clip from the film showing Kate and Tyler kissing. (In addition to an airport scene) was leaked from the Internet.

Netizens have speculated that this scene might be in the final scenes of the movie, leading many to expect that we might see a rom-com vibe in the movie as well. But in the end, I had to be disappointed. Because this scene was cut from the actual movie. Which originated from the polishing of Steven Spielberg (Steven Spielberg), the executive producer of Amblin Entertainment studio. He played the same role in the first part

The three main actors, Powell, Edgar Jones and Anthony Ramos, were interviewed by Collider The idea and reason for cutting important scenes from Hollywood magicians

Edgar-Jones: I think that was probably a Spielberg tip, right? You know what that means? I think it helps keep the movie from becoming clichéd, and I think it's actually great. And it makes me feel like there's still a story going on. Their story isn't over yet. They're connected by a shared passion for something.

Paul: I also think this movie is not about finding love. But it does bring Kate back to what she loves. That is chasing the storm. And that's what you see at the end of the movie. They have that in common. And it makes the passion and the longing for her come back. So I felt that maybe the kiss wasn't the right goal for the end of the movie. It was based on Spielberg's suggestion. And that's why he stayed in the industry for so long. He was really amazing.

Twisters tells the story of Kate Carter, a young meteorologist. A former storm chaser who encountered a dangerous hurricane that left a deep scar on her heart until Javi, a fellow storm chaser, convinced her to return to the storm chase field again. That is until she meets Tyler Owens, a famous storm chaser influencer on the Internet. Then they have the opportunity to join a storm chasing adventure filled with unimaginable dangers.

In this article, we go behind the scenes of the making of this film, Weekly Entertainment Director Lee Isaac Chung said he shot both kissing and non-kissing scenes at the end of the film. But in the end, the non-kissing scene was used in the final version of the film. While Paul himself was upset. But I understood it in the end.

“I myself feel a bit disappointed. When I realized that they didn’t use that kissing scene, maybe it was because of my abilities. I don’t know either.

While Isaac Chung describes the frustration felt by the new generation who are uncomfortable with public displays of affection in public. Or even in movies anymore, “I feel like audiences these days have different views on what they want to see. Or don’t they want to see a kissing scene? I tried to include a kissing scene. And that really upset the audience, and it wasn’t because of the kissing scene.”

“Scenes without kissing It was an optional scene that I shot that day. And I have to say I like this better. I think it was a better ending. And I think the people who want kissing scenes, maybe you can think for yourself. They’re probably going to kiss each other one day. And maybe we should give them privacy in that regard. On the other hand, an ending like this is a way for us to wrap up this story in a beautiful and impressive way.”

Edgar Jones: “It’s a wonderful, happy feeling that it didn’t end this way. Because what you end up seeing are two people with the same amount of love, care, intelligence and understanding of the climate.

Isaac Chung: “If it ended with a kiss scene it would seem like ending with a kiss is exactly what Kate wanted to happen on her journey. But instead it would be better to end with a smile on her face. Than to be able to continue doing what she was doing.

The Queen's non-kissing scene in this film is reminiscent of the hundreds of thousands of Hollywood films that usually end with a kiss. So Powell sees the lack of kissing in the film as a deliberate change in tone that Hollywood has long been accustomed to.

“For some reason, and I'm not sure why. People think movies have to be a certain way, but they don't have to be. And what I found really interesting about this movie is that you can feel the shifting of colors and different textures. This movie is told in so many different ways. It's almost like music.”
