Glen Powell Brings His Parents to 'Hit Man' Premiere at Sundance Film Festival 2024

Nostalgia sometimes takes time to form. The 1996 disaster film “Twister” directed by Jan de Bont, starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Jami Gertz, and Cary Elwes, was always a fun lark, but it’s only in recent years it’s been reclaimed as a ’90s classic.

Twisters,” a follow-up to the 1996 box office hit “Twister.” The disaster film aired its first trailer during the Super Bowl. Starring Glen Powell, who plays a self-described “tornado wrangler,” and Daisy Edgar-Jones as a scientist, the film is set for a July 19 release. Billed as a “new chapter” of the original, the film is directed by Oscar nominee Lee Isaac Chung, known for his film “Minari,” which shared an agricultural setting and little else with “Twisters.” Along with Powell and Edgar-Jones, Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, Daryl McCormack and Maura Tierney round out the cast.

Hit Man, the new film from Richard Linklater. The film is a little way off with a limited theatrical run and streaming debut in June.There’s great word coming from the festival circuit for this one and we can’t wait to see what all of the fuss is about.The feature revolves around a hit man who meets his match in a client who steals his heart and ignites a powder keg of deception, delight, and mixed-up identities.Here’s the full synopsis courtesy of the streaming service.Oscar-nominated director Richard Linklater’s sunlit neo-noir stars Glen Powell as strait-laced professor Gary Johnson, who moonlights as a fake hit man for the New Orleans Police Department. Preternaturally gifted at inhabiting different guises and personalities to catch hapless people hoping to bump off their enemies, Gary descends into morally dubious territory when he finds himself attracted to one of those potential criminals, a beautiful young woman named Madison (Adria Arjona). As Madison falls for one of Gary’s hit man personas — the mysteriously sexy Ron — their steamy affair sets off a chain reaction of play acting, deception, and escalating stakes. Co-written by Linklater and Powell and inspired by an unbelievable true story, Hit Man is a cleverly existential comedy about identity.This one hits on 7th June.When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.@ THN - The Hollywood News 2023
