Glen Powell-led Twisters film premiere was interrupted by a protester

Lee Isaac Chung's upcoming film Twisters had its premiere in Los Angeles on Thursday, July 11, which was attended by its star-studded cast, including Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Anthony Ramos, and Brandon Perea. They all walked the red carpet at the Regency Village Theater for an early showing of their movie. Director Chung also attended the event.

However, before the screening, a female protester rushed to the front of the venue where attendees were seated and interrupted the event. As per PEOPLE magazine, an onlooker told the outlet that the protester was potentially carrying a sign and was screaming, "There’s no excuse for animal abuse. The film needs a disclaimer.”


The outlet noted that security quickly tackled the protester to the ground, but she continued shouting the same message, reportedly protesting against the movie's depiction of a rodeo scene. In addition, several people were seen at the premiere outside, wearing cow masks and holding signs that read, per the outlet, "Lasso Tornadoes, Not Animals" and "Calves Necks are Twisted at Rodeos."
