New storm chasing movie “Supercell” to premiere this week in North Texas

Severe thunderstorms are in the forecast for Dallas-Ft. Worth (DFW) and adjacent areas of north central Texas tomorrow, Thursday, March 16. Conditions will be favorable for a type of storm called a “supercell.” It’s a storm with a rotating updraft that is notorious for producing violent tornadoes and giant hail. So, it’s appropriate for the Tornado Alley premiere of a new movie about supercells to occur the very next day, Friday, March 17 in DFW.

 

The film’s director, Jamie Winterstern, will be on hand for the screening which will take place at 7:30 pm on March 17 at Galaxy Theaters Grandscape in The Colony, Texas. Mr. Winterstern will introduce the movie and speak with the audience.

 

Also on hand will be members of the Tempest Tours staff of storm chasers who took part in the production. They include Martin Lisius, Kim George, and Steve George. Tempest is an Arlington-based company specializing in storm chasing expeditions. They have hosted tours for guests from around the world for 23 years.

 

About “Supercell”

Baseball-size hail, violent winds, and churning tornadoes make supercells deadly, and when William Brody was a boy, his father – a legendary storm-chaser – was killed by one. Now, the family business belongs to Zane Rogers (Alec Baldwin), a reckless tour operator who sees dollar signs where others see storm clouds. When his destiny arrives in the form of one of the most powerful storms on record, William leaves his mom (Anne Heche) and home behind to team up with his father’s ex-partner, Roy Cameron (Skeet Ulrich), barely surviving a tornado yet determined to chase one of nature’s most terrifying creations: the bear’s cage.

Galaxy Theaters Grandscape is located at 5740 Grandscape Blvd. Ste. 100, The Colony, TX 75056.
