Following in the footsteps of the original, this new action movie is accompanied by an epic soundtrack.

But while the original Twister soundtrack largely featured pop and rock music, things sound a bit different in the sequel, which is jam-packed with country songs, many of which were specially recorded and produced for the movie.

Speaking about why he felt that this genre was best suited to soundtrack the life of storm chasers, director Lee Isaac Chung explained in the film's production notes: "When you spend hours on the road chasing tornadoes, it’s important to have good tunes. I loved asking scientists what was on their playlists; it always brought a smile."

He added: "Our screenwriter, Mark L Smith, brought that spirit to the first draft of the script and wrote many great, classic rock tunes into the road scenes.

"When I came on board to the project, I had been listening to a lot of Chris Stapleton, so I pictured the Tyler Owens (Glen Powell) character listening to the song Arkansas while driving into a tornado.

"That inspiration led to other country artists I loved. We were making a film about people chasing tornadoes on red dirt roads, so I felt like the red-dirt country genre and the outlaw sound would be great for the film."

Fans can expect a host of songs from modern-country artists such as Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, and Jelly Roll.
