As a major fan of the original Twister movie, I was thrilled to discover that a sequel was in the works. Twister 2 promises to take us on another wild ride through Tornado Alley, and I can’t wait to see what new twists and turns the filmmakers had in store. But when I found out that the movie was filmed in Chickasha, Oklahoma, I was even more excited. As a resident of Oklahoma myself, I knew that the state’s unique landscape and weather patterns would provide the perfect backdrop for the movie.
Here is a scoop and behind the scene teaser of the upcoming Twister 2 movie filming in Chickasha, Oklahoma. Also, I will share some fun facts about the movie along the way.
Introduction to Twister 2 movie
The original Twister movie shot in downtown Oklahoma City took the whole box office industry by storm. It is one of the disaster movies in history that utilized incredible CGI tornados, courtesy of Universal Pictures, to bring stunning visuals and heart-pumping action much to the thrill of Twister fans.
And now, with the advancement in technology and legendary film directors like Steven Spielberg said to be coming on board, fans of the original movie can only expect the Twister Sequel to wow them.
Filming location in Chickasha, Oklahoma
Chickasha, Oklahoma was the primary filming location for Twister 2. So it is no surprise that the decision to film in Oklahoma was undefeated. Perhaps also because Oklahoma is located in the heart of Tornado Alley, a region that experiences more tornadoes than anywhere else in the world. The filmmakers wanted to capture the raw power and beauty of these natural phenomena, and Oklahoma provided the perfect film-friendly setting.
Chickasha is a small city located in Grady County, Oklahoma. The city is known for its friendly people, rich history, and beautiful parks. The set for the film is already underway, and the city is already transformed into a bustling hub of activity as the crew on the ground build props, and pile things here and there, basically making one big mess to make the upcoming tornado scenes even more realistic and thrilling.

The impact of the movie on Oklahoma
The filming of Twister 2 will have a significant impact on Oklahoma. It will create jobs and revenue for the state, and help to showcase the beauty and resilience of Oklahoma’s people and the beautiful landscape of Chickasha. The film crew is working closely with local businesses and organizations to ensure that the filming process went smoothly, and the city of Chickasha welcomed the cast and crew with open arms.
But I believe the impact of Twister 2 goes beyond economics. This movie will help raise awareness about the dangers of tornadoes and the importance of storm preparedness. Oklahoma residents are no strangers to the destructive power of tornadoes, and the movie will serve as a reminder of the importance of staying safe during severe weather events.
