Spielberg's Influence on 'Twisters' Creative Direction

Steven Spielberg influenced a key creative decision in the film 'Twisters' by suggesting the removal of a kiss scene between the lead characters, played by Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, to avoid a clichéd ending. Spielberg's note aimed to highlight the characters' shared passion for storm chasing rather than their romantic involvement. Despite the palpable chemistry between Powell and Edgar-Jones, the film ends with their characters united by their passion for meteorology, rather than a romantic kiss. This decision has sparked mixed reactions among fans, especially after a leaked clip of the kiss circulated online. Director Lee Isaac Chung, who took inspiration from Spielberg's cinematic techniques, expressed gratitude for Spielberg's and Tom Cruise's support during the film's production. 'Twisters' has achieved significant box office success and positive reviews, with many praising the dynamic between the lead characters.
