People who loved intense actions and other forms of drama, time to turn up the heat as Glen Powell is taking off his suit and putting on the gear of a firefighter in the upcoming movie “Backdraft” sequel)! When producer Brian Grazer broke the news on CNBC, it fueled anticipation among audiences about this reboot. And with the direction of Powell, this film is geared to give the fans what they have been wanting since 1991 with the original stars Kurt Russel and William Baldwin.

Backdraft (1991)

For those who might need a refresher, ‘Backdraft' directed by Ron Howard is a story of two fireman brothers who are bitter enemies now, but they have to unite to fight a threat posed by a notorious arsonist in Chicago. Jokes aside, the film received mixed reviews but was a huge success at the box office earning $153 million in the US alone. Speaking about the new technologies, Grazer stated that through the proper use of digital effects, the remake would be an improvement over the original version, updating the fairytale for a new generation.

Glen Powell in Hit Man

Glen Powell, who has recently soared to fame with roles in “”Top Gun: Maverick,' ‘Anyone But You,' and Richard Linklater's ‘Hitman' to name a few seems to be featured nearly wherever at the moment. His next film “Twisters” has already been anticipated and with more films in the pipeline with giant productions such as JJ Abrams, Edgar Wright, and John Patton Ford, Powell is set to skyrocket to stardom. However, in yet another twist of events, Powell is the one who came to Grazer pitching the concept of the ‘Backdraft' remake proving his interest in the given film project.

As exciting as any script for a Hollywood movie, Powell rejected opportunities to direct sequels of other action films including ‘Bourne Identity' and ‘Jurassic Park' to engage in ‘Backdraft,' an action film that shows heroes who tame fire.

Glen Powell – Top Gun: Maverick

Before his breakout role in “Top Gun: Maverick,” Powell had a string of smaller roles, including a spot-on performance in “The Dark Knight Rises” as a trader in the Gotham Stock Exchange who meets Bane's wrath in rather tragic fashion. His willingness and commitment to the role has made him the perfect candidate for a movie that symbolizes courage and tenacity.

As we eagerly await more details, one thing is clear: with Glen Powell leading the charge, the “Backdraft” remake is set to be a scorching hit. Mark your calendars and get ready to feel the heat when it hits theaters!
