In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Chung mentioned how he minimize collectively a pitch reel that spliced the twister watch scene from “Minari” along with footage from Jan de Bont’s “Tornado.” Provided that government producer Steven Spielberg was within the room for this presentation, this private flourish (which possible referred to as to thoughts the twister sequence in Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical “The Fabelmans”) proved to be one thing of a artistic coup.
As Chung informed THR:
“Once I pitched to them, I put that scene into my pitch to point out that ‘Twisters’ is definitely a sequel to ‘Minari.’ However I do not truly assume they ever picked up on that. Ashley Jay Sandberg at Kennedy/Marshall was particularly in search of a filmmaker who’s from the area and will perceive the sense of place. So I feel that was what they have been taking a look at.”
That Chung had additionally labored with one other of the movie’s government producers, Kathleen Kennedy, on “The Mandalorian” in all probability went a good distance towards serving to him land the job as properly.
No matter your wind up considering of “Twisters,” it is no less than heartening to know that Spielberg, Kennedy and producer Frank Marshall did not deal with this as a cynical, Easter egg-laden money seize (replete with a shoehorned-in flying cow). 28 years after the unique, they needed to imbue their 800-pound gorilla with the center of a bit Korean-American child who grew up in a wierd land referred to as Arkansas. This strategy will hopefully set “Twisters” other than the senseless sturm-und-drang of its blockbuster competitors.
“Twisters” is at present enjoying in theaters.
