'Twisters' and 'Top Gun: Maverick' star Glen Powell does not feel like Hollywood is addressing all of the different audiences across the country.
Glen Powell wants more from Hollywood for American audiences. 'Having grown up in and around Texas, I’m aware there are vast parts of America that have been underserved in terms of movies that they want to see,' he told The Telegraph this week. 'You sort of have New York and Los Angeles making the decisions about what gets made, but there’s a whole lot more audience out there you need to think about.
He told The Hollywood Reporter in May that Matthew McConaughey inspired the move, saying, 'He’s like, ‘Hollywood is the Matrix, man. You plug in and it’s all fake world.’’ Powell continued, 'He’s like, ‘Then I go to Austin, and I unplug. It’s all real. Those are my friends, that’s my family, my actions matter there.’ And he’s right.' 'If you’re here, you live in the Matrix all the time, there’s no separation of those worlds,' he said of Hollywood.
Powell next stars in 'Twisters,' the sequel to the 1996 hit 'Twister' that starred Helen Hunt and the late Bill Paxton. In his interview with The Telegraph, Powell expressed that 'Twisters' is not any kind of message movie about the climate. 'First and foremost, because if you’re telling people what to think, you’re not allowing them to feel.
Of course, you might want to have conversations about those other things later,' Powell added, 'but that’s not what our movie is about. It’s man and woman versus nature; finding out who we really are in the face of the storm.' 'Twisters' is in theaters on Friday, July 19. Fox News Digital's Ashley Hume contributed to this report.
