Their goal is to help people and have fun while doing it, and as they reveal themselves to the audience, they will earn  everyone’s respect,” he added.Perea and the cast found inspiration for the vibe of their fun-loving, rag-tag group from the original &quot;Twister&quot; character, Dusty, played by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.“I know that I’m talking about one of the greatest actors of all time. Hopefully I can bring even just a pinkie-nail amount of that fun-kooky energy he brought to the film,” he said.Director Lee Isaac Chung also wanted to pay tribute to Hoffman by imbuing some of Dusty’s aesthetic onto Boone.“I also wanted to pay respect to Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was so beloved in &#x27;Twister,&#x27; for playing this quirky, thrill-seeking character, Dusty, and whose spirit can be seen in the storm wranglers,” Chung said.“Perhaps the most explicit of those homages are on Boone, Tyler’s right-hand man and hype beast, played by Brandon Perea, who rocks some tie-dye, and on Lily, played by Sasha Lane, the group’s free-spirited drone flyer, whose pants have swatches of floral fabric, all nods to Dusty’s wardrobe prints.”Catch Boone and the gang as they wrangle tornadoes in &quot;Twisters,&quot; crashing through Philippine cinemas on July 17.
