Point Break Sequel

I really though the first film was quite fun when it first came out and at the end I always figured they'd find a way to bring Swayze back.

 

[Hunter Rider]

LMAOt:this is so random.....Haven't seen Swayze since Donnie Darko.

 

[KenK]

Didn't they already make a sequel, 2Fast 2Furious?

Brian O'Conner (was that the name?) is no Johnny Utah.

 

[Advanced Dark]

No need for Utah really since it'll probably take place in Austrailia. He'll probably start his whole thing out there again for one last rush.

 

[jaydawg]

Ugh.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

Of all the things to make...

 

[livrule]

Oh dear ...

Average film but that last five minute scene is fantastic .... leave him riding that last big wave.

 

[Warhammer]

This is pretty random.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Is this project dead? Haven't heard anything new since May.

 

[Galactus]

Wow, Hollywoood is really scraping the barrel now when it comes to meaningless sequels and remakes

 

[Figs]

I haven't seen the first one in quite some time. Can someone remind me if Gary Busey's character lived or died in Point Break? The second will only be worth it if it has a Busey in it.

 

[BeserkerHilf]

Spoiler

died, sorry

 

[Bad Superman]

It's official: Hollywood has ran out of ideas. . . .

Surf's Up! Point Break 2 Closer to Filming
Source: ComingSoon.net October 31, 2007


ComingSoon.net learned at the American Film Market (AFM) today that shooting for Point Break 2 will begin mid-2008 in Southeast Asia. The sequel will be financed and executive produced by Singaporean company RGM Entertainment. It will be written and directed by Peter Iliff, who also wrote the first movie.

Point Break 2 picks up from where the original film left off more than 15 years ago. The story will revolve around an ex-professional surfer who enlists in the US Navy and is recruited to track down a criminal gang based in Southeast Asia. The audience will also discover the fate of Bodhi (Patrick Swayze), the surfers' charismatic leader who was swallowed by a giant killer wave in the final scene of Point Break. Did he really die?

The follow-up is budgeted at$20-30 million.

"I wrote 'Point Break' in 1987 when I was still a struggling writer waiting at tables in Malibu," Iliff said earlier this year, "'Point Break' was the turning point and it made my screen writing career. 20 years later, I'm thrilled to have been given the opportunity by RGM Entertainment to write the sequel and to make my directorial debut with 'Point Break 2.'"

Disappearance?

Spoiler

The man was wiped out!... wasn't he?

 

[EML]

No way Swayze will be back.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Isn't he pretty much dying?

 

[SFII]

100% pure adrenaline!

why would anyone want to give this movie a sequel. particularly at this time.
this movie will suck without Keanu.

and besides... Swayze has cancer.

 

[Gotham]

Isn't he pretty much dying?

He has cancer, but that doesn't mean he won't beat it.

And the sequel is written by the original writer of the first film, so I hold some hope.

 

[scifiwolf]

As someone who has spent some time in oncology, I can tell you that pancreatic cancer is as close to a medical death sentence as you can get. Don't get me wrong, I hope he beats it, but the odds are so overwhelmingly against him.

That being said, I wouldn't want Bodhi to ever be recovered or to pop up again. It ruins the phenomenal ending of the first movie.
