Gargantuanly Important News From Cannes: There's A POINT BREAK Sequel On The Way!!


Merrick here...


Jan De Bont - great cinematographer (DIE HARD, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER) turned not-so-great film maker (the pretty cool SPEED, the pretty dumb TWISTER) - is set to direct the long-rumored sequel to Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 action slick fest POINT BREAK.

The new film will take place 20 years after the disappearance of one of the criminal surfers (Patrick Swayze).

Both the original and sequel are written by W. Peter Iliff. Plot details and possible character reprises have not been disclosed, but the film will shoot in Singapore and Southeast Asia.

...says THIS ARTICLE in Hollywood Reporter.

A Swayze return seems unlikely for health reasons...God knows what Keanu will do about this.
