News about Bill Paxton

Twisters created a storm of business at the box office over the weekend, churning up an estimated $80.5 million for it debut, exceeding expectations and garnering the highest box office opening for a live action film this summer so far. Meanwhile, Inside Out 2 remained a massive hit for Pixar, finishing third and having earned nearly $600 million in the US. One critic believes that this is a sign audiences are ready to tell Hollywood no more to moralizing message movies.

Glen Powell paid tribute to the late Bill Paxton, who starred in the original Twister film in 1996. Posting on X (formerly Twitter ), the Hit Man star wrote: 'As we release Twisters into the world today, I just wanted to look up and tip my hat to the legend that is Bill Paxton. 'A great friend of mine who saw poetry in the natural world. His boots are impossible to fill, but this life is all about chasing the greats." He shared a photo of himself with Bill. In it, they are smiling for the camera while wearing cowboy hats and standing in front of a pasture. The new Twisters film debuted in theaters on July 19 and also stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Kiernan Shipka and Paxton's son, James Paxton.

James Paxton says he feels closest to his late father, Bill Paxton, on the set of a film or series that he's working on, so it makes perfect sense he would want to take part in Twisters. In fact, that made it easier for the young actor to want to take on a small role in the new disaster flick in honor of his father, some 28 years after he starred in the original  Twister (1996). While the new movie doesn't have any of the legacy characters, the stand-alone sequel does pay homage to Bill Paxton by having his son play Cody, a disgruntled motel guest.
