“Where the Crawdads Sing” star Daisy Edgar-Jones is teeing up her next box office hit with the lead role in “Twisters.”

As previously announced, “Minari” Oscar nominee Lee Isaac Chung will direct from a screenplay by “The Revenant” writer Mark L. Smith.

Though no plot details have been released, “Twisters” is a sequel to the 1996 tentpole “Twister.” Starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Cary Elwes, the disaster adventure film followed a storm chaser couple on the verge of getting divorced, who must work together on a weather alert system that puts them in the direct path of deadly tornadoes.
