Spielberg's Note Transforms Twisters Stars' Final Scene

"Twisters" stars Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones shared that the ending of the movie was changed based on a note from Steven Spielberg, steering clear of a conventional rom-com climax. Instead of a dramatic kiss, the ending focused on a more meaningful moment where Powell's character, Tyler, runs through an airport to catch Kate (Edgar-Jones) before she departs, underlining their shared passion for storm chasing. Both actors agreed that omitting the kiss made the film less clichéd and highlighted that the story isn't solely about finding love, but about rekindling Kate's passion. Despite the absence of the kiss, "Twisters" performed impressively at the box office, grossing $123 million globally in its opening weekend and earning positive reviews. Fans are now calling for the release of the alternate "kiss cut" scene.

The kiss scene was removed from "Twisters" to avoid clichéd storytelling and to focus on the deeper themes of the movie, specifically the characters' shared passion for storm chasing and personal growth rather than a simple romantic resolution.

"Twisters" is a sequel to the 1996 disaster film "Twister," directed by Lee Isaac Chung and written by Mark L. Smith. The original "Twister" was a significant box office hit, known for its groundbreaking special effects and thrilling depiction of storm chasers confronting deadly tornadoes. The sequel builds on this legacy with a focus not just on visual spectacle but also on emotional depth, earning it an 8 out of 10 rating from IGN for its engaging storytelling and character development.
