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

Awesome! by lonestaricon	May 13th, 2008 06:36:38 PM
Bring it on!
HOLY FUCK YES by spacehog	May 13th, 2008 06:39:32 PM
Josh Harnett and Jake Busey in Point Break: The Next Generation!
NO SWAYZE?!?!?!? by Nice Marmot	May 13th, 2008 06:41:22 PM
Jesus, I pictured them cranking it out asap, so his health might permit his involvement. Wouldn't be right to make it w/out him at all. I want him, Keanu, the 2 Chili Peppers, and cameos for Pegg & Frost.
What was wrong with Twister? by krish-0	May 13th, 2008 06:41:30 PM
I thought it was very enjoyable. And the effects were fucking awesome for its time.
point break had like 20 endings by Prossor	May 13th, 2008 06:43:01 PM
but those 20 endings length equaled 1 of the 50 that ROTK had.
I'm waiting for the REMO WILLIAMS series to be revived! by YackBacker	May 13th, 2008 06:44:17 PM
WTF is Hollywood doing to us? I'm sorry, we're amidst rehashes and revivals on a level I can't fathom. We are sorely lacking new genre classics. Why? Because there's no creativity anymore. Studios are chicken-shit. Producers are yes-men. Everybody is wasting their money. Fuck. Fuck it all.
This is bigger than the Universe itself.. by Madcapper	May 13th, 2008 06:44:47 PM
If Keanu comes back, I will lose my mind. The immense talent that is Keanu Reeves will surley get an Oscar for acting, if he is given a script that is half as good as the last movie! And Patrick will need to come back. The chemistry between the two in Point Break is fantastic, and works better than between any other two Hollywood actors togheter.
And Merrick is right about TWISTER, it's pretty dumb by YackBacker	May 13th, 2008 06:45:03 PM
Like Merrick, but in movie form! ;)

"What was wrong with Twister"? by jawsfan	May 13th, 2008 06:56:00 PM
uh..... EVERYTHING.
This seems kind of unnecessary by quadrupletree	May 13th, 2008 06:56:37 PM
Why? is my first question. Swayze can't be in it, Keanu prolly won't be in it. There's no need for this.
Lost boys gets a sequel and now this. by theonecalledshoe	May 13th, 2008 06:56:43 PM

BOGUS! or DUDE! in it, and get Keanu to say it, I do not care about this movie..
This is GARGANTUALY IMPORTANT??? by closeencounter	May 13th, 2008 07:08:32 PM
Why? First one kinda-sorta sucked. As far as Keanu is concerned.....RUN!!

They already remade Point Break-it was called FAST & THE FURIOUS by ShiftyEyedDog2	May 13th, 2008 07:26:14 PM
seriously, that flick is like an exact copy, just with cars instead of surfboards
Herb West/g-ride9000 by Sawney Bean	May 13th, 2008 07:28:28 PM
How could they green light a movie during the writer's strike? What are you talking about?
you know it will just be like "the next generation" by ShiftyEyedDog2	May 13th, 2008 07:29:34 PM
just a remake disguised as a sequel, with a new young cast.
ah fuck off... Point Break 2: Point Harder by johnnyjlawless	May 13th, 2008 07:29:47 PM
No actors from original? Check. No talent from original? Check. Contrived plot that will have a tenuous and improbable link to the 'first' movie? Check. Inferior Director/writer? I could go on all day. Bigelow and Cameron were the brains behind the last one. Now we get Jan deBont? Once again, make the movie. Just call it something different and it's ok. Fast/Furious did it, and whilst it is a piece of shit, I don't hold it against Point Break. If, however, they had called it Point Break 2: Fast and the Furious, I would have shit a log. Just call this 'Surfer Thieves' or something and be done with it. American Psycho 2, anyone?

Sawney Bean by LargoJr	May 13th, 2008 07:33:33 PM
during a WRITERS Strike.. the only people on strike are the WRITERS. Everybody else keeps working. Which means they need to keep going on any pile of flung shit that sticks to the wall resembling a plot or project. I read the 'New Programming' submissions coming for the next season.. its SCARY how bad it all is.
Sawney Bean by Herb West	May 13th, 2008 07:34:32 PM
I'm not sure, but I remember hearing about this movie being made because of the strike back when it was going on. Maybe it was a privately owned script or property or something. I have no idea. Where's ScriptGirl when you need her?

Roadhouse: 5 "Dalton's Return" by g-ride9000	May 13th, 2008 07:36:04 PM
Space:2037 In this high impact, futuristic adventure, Patrick Swayze returns as Dalton 2.0. When the long lost twin brother of "Wild Bill", Cyrus (Jake Busy), looks to serve revenge on every last cooler in the galaxy, there seems to be no hope left in space. But when a lone, rogue genetic engineers stumbles across the remains of the greatest cooler in history, history will be made again. SUMMER 2013
Point Break was gonzo, I loved it by johnnyjlawless	May 13th, 2008 07:36:55 PM
I first watched it when it came out on video. My gran was going senile and kept joining these mail order video scams, and forgetting, before joining another one. Because she'd never get round to actually selecting films, they just used to send any old shit. Normally, they had Cynthia Rothrock in them. Then one day, they must have been running low on China O Briens and they sent Point Break. I was eleven at the time. When I moved to California it was PointBreakville as far as I was concerned. Bit sad that I was 20 by then, oh well.
SPOILERS FOR POINT BREAK'S PLOT... by Err	May 13th, 2008 07:37:48 PM
Keanu goes into a time traveling phone booth where he must (with the help of Gary Busey) save a bunch of passengers on a bus that must remain above 55 while trying to outrun Hurricane Swayze.

I'd rather have Gary Busey: the movie. by jimmay	May 13th, 2008 07:39:52 PM
Just follow the guy around during his day: to the grocery store, doing his laundry, harassing innocent bystanders in the park: crazy times. It'd be cinematic gold; until he started rambling on about Jesus, that is.
If it's cast right, I'd see it by Lance Rocke	May 13th, 2008 07:40:24 PM
Jan De Bont can stage action like a motherscratcher
OH SHIT, SOMEBODY GET VERN IN HERE by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	May 13th, 2008 07:40:27 PM

"I used to fuck punks like you in prison" by Brunomac	May 13th, 2008 07:42:09 PM
Road House and Point Break sequels would have been great 10 years ago...but c'mon. Then again, Harrison Ford is a hundred years old and we are supposed to accept him being a bad-ass still. Maybe they can make this happen, despite Swayze's butt-cancer or whatever he has...
they could go off on a tangent by johnnyjlawless	May 13th, 2008 07:44:34 PM
and have Utah back in football, as a REPLACEMENT, with an underdog team or something, fighting to stay in the league.

Worth noting that... by DanielKurland	May 13th, 2008 07:49:00 PM
John Cusack's "War, Inc." more or less IS a sequel to Gross Point Blank. I spoke to him at a screening and he said that's what it was written as, but Disney wasn't interested, so they had to change the character names and other stuff. You look at Cusack's fighting in it though, and the role his sister has, and it's pretty obvious.
Largo by Brunomac	May 13th, 2008 07:50:31 PM
Isn't the old dude who played Gandalf and Magneto still a bad-ass? No, wait...he still wants it in the ass badly. Sorry. Yeah, God bless Sir Sean. At least he decided to fully retire and go out gracefully.
What's wrong with Twister? It was in the news this week by Shan	May 13th, 2008 07:52:22 PM
About what's wrong. Apparently more people started chasing twisters in their cars after the movie came out. Experts say it's the worst place to be (vs a solid building) because they get tossed about easily and all those people who got killed last week were in cars.
Brunomac... by Err	May 13th, 2008 07:55:08 PM
Playing Sir August De Winter in The Avengers movie and Allen Quartermaine in the LXG movie = bowing out gracefully?
but he died? by Bouncy X	May 13th, 2008 07:57:14 PM
unless swayze's character was a superhero, there's no way he survived that huge ass wave at the end...so please dont tell me they're brining his character back.
No Johnny Utah by Mr. Winston	May 13th, 2008 07:57:49 PM
I actually rather enjoyed this script, but last I read - and I'm pretty sure it was the latest draft - there's no Johnny Utah, so Keanu would be out. Of course I'm sure they could write him in if he got interested, but right now it's a completely new dude in Utah's role. ****SPOILER ALERT******** Seriously, don't keep reading if you don't want to know.... The new guy (can't remember if he's an FBI Agent or something lesser) finds Bodhi - he survived the big wave - in jail and gets him out to help infiltrate a new group of bank robbers. ****END SPOILERS************ Not really original, but does anyone care? Also, if you live in Los Angeles, you must - you absolutely MUST - seek out POINT BREAK LIVE, a play that's put on every weekend downtown. There's a wind machine involved, pyrotechnics, and the guy who plays Johnny Utah...is picked out of the crowd five minutes before the show begins and reads all his lines off of cue cards. It's magic.
How they pitched "Twister". by YakMalla	May 13th, 2008 07:58:22 PM

I Like Ian McKellen.. by LargoJr	May 13th, 2008 07:59:01 PM
He's a great character actor, and given the right material can be quite convincing. He will never however, be a bad-ass.
Worth noting that we're talking about Point Break, Dan by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	May 13th, 2008 07:59:04 PM
See? Point BREAK. Not GROSSE Point BLANK. Just little handy trick called reading comprehension I picked up a ways back.
Err...that was a while ago by Brunomac	May 13th, 2008 07:59:35 PM
He cited full retirement as the reason he didn't want to play Indy Jones' dad. I think he even won't do voice work now.
And his Quartermain was the best part by Brunomac	May 13th, 2008 08:01:13 PM
of League. Never saw the Avengers remake atrocity (that nasty bitch Uma could not hold a candle to the original Emma Peel, for Christsake...)
Bouncy by Brunomac	May 13th, 2008 08:03:30 PM
Maybe they could use the wave as an excuse as to why he is so jacked-up now...
They have to get Swayze and Keanu by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	May 13th, 2008 08:04:32 PM
Otherwise whats the point? This is way more important than Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man or ANYTHING
That's the stupidest thing I ever heard... by Herb West	May 13th, 2008 08:08:14 PM
a sequel to a 17 year old movie that recasts the original actors. Guess they really were desperate.
Mr. Winston by Brunomac	May 13th, 2008 08:08:39 PM
No shit, a play? I'm in West LA, I gotta look into that. Sound like a good night to drink some brews, smoke a jay, and check that out! Pain don't hurt! (oops, wrong Patrick movie)

I grew up on Venice Beach and surfed for years by Brunomac	May 13th, 2008 08:28:05 PM
so I of course loved Point Break. I knew about 3 Bodi's before I ever saw the movie! I knew one dude I am dead sure the character was based on. In the Keanu/Patrick foot chase, I immediatly recognized the neighborhood they were in (until they suddenly ended up 5 miles away at Ballona Creek river). Really, this would only be "garganutan news" if they did this years ago when the guys could still be acceptable bad-asses.
I still can't get over the fact.... by Herb West	May 13th, 2008 08:31:29 PM
that Ian McKellen is a rump ranger. Holy shit.

Great Gandalf by Brunomac	May 13th, 2008 08:34:23 PM

Point Break 2 - Point Broke! by FILMFUNK	May 13th, 2008 08:39:30 PM

Herb by Brunomac	May 13th, 2008 08:42:54 PM
Except for the highly sexually charged (probably not on purpose) Galadrial and Frodo scene, the books were extremely non-sexual. I think only Aragorn and the guy who ended up with the Rohan chick got laid from the story. I think we can all picture Gollum buggering various things (sheep, fish, cows, dead orcs, a heavily drugged Samwise), but thankfully Tolkien didn't expand on that. Gandalf was neither human nor elf, so his kind could have reproduced by spores for all we know.

I wish I could say I was surprised at this move, but then Hollywood recycles more than aging hippies on Earth Day. I recently rewatched Point Break and while I have neer been a fan of the film, I could see why it's cult status endures as it plays to more than just a few action cliches. Still, it also reminded me that I outgrew it a long time ago.

Somewhere in the corner of my mind I thought they'd done a Busey show. Still, thanks for the link. My favorite Busey moment of all time is when he guest-spotted on the Simpsons hosting an informational video on restraining orders: "Hello, I'm Gary Busey" (inexplicably cackles madly for a minute before regaining his composure). Busey rules.

Neo has to infiltrate Dalton's new Road House, and pretent to be a hard-as-fuck bouncer in order to gain the respect of the bar staff. Having done this, he can learn the whereabouts of the bars crazy owner, Dennis Hopper, who has planted an EMP bomb on the nebuchunezzer hovercraft, so that when it drops below 100 mph it is activated, thus crippling the craft and allowing the squiddies to attack. But Neo accidently breaks Dalton's pint glass, spilling his Budweiser... and so Dalton fucks him, because he used to fuck guys like him in prison. Seriously though I've only waited my whole life for this. And thats not sarcasm. Point Break is fucking cool. But the reason its so cool is because its so shit because of Reeves and Swayze... without the cheesieness of those guys, it just wouldn't be shit... and therefore wouldn't have what made the first one cool... if you follow me. But Jan de Bont... though questionable, is a natural choice.... as the only other film that can rival Point Break as the gretest yet dumbest Keanu action film ever, is indeed Speed. Bring it on. Ask James Cameron to write a script for it.
Jan de Bont shot LETHAL WEAPON 3 by caruso_stalker217	May 13th, 2008 11:26:02 PM
It's the worst photographed of the series. Which is weird because most of his work is good.
I'm sure Lori Petty is up for it. by Brians Life	May 13th, 2008 11:39:20 PM
With her busy schedule of Tank Girl appearances and knocking on everyone who's ever written Tank Girl fan fic's door to see if they want to finance a Tank Girl sequel. TANK GIRL!!!! Even the comic SUCKED!

I want to se CROSSROADS 2 by NapoleonDynamite	May 14th, 2008 12:27:48 AM
As long as we're talking about sequels to minor 80's cult films, how about a sequel to CROSSROADS? Not that Britney Spears thing, but the Ralph Maccchio guitar movie. Remember that? He had the duel with Steve Vai at the end. I want to see that shit get revisited 20 years later (or however the fuck long it's been). Here's my plot idea. Macchio (now an instructor at Julliard) has a son who plays guitar in a numetal band. The son (who should be played by Shia Laboef) learns of an unrecorded song written by Dimebag Darrel Abbott shortly before he died. Shia goes questing for this lost song with the goal of passing it off as his own original at an upcoming battle of the bands. Blind Willie is dead, but Shia hooks up with Willie's grandson Rocko Caine, who is an aspiring rapper with a shadowy, gangster background, who is currently doing time in a county jail. Rocko claims he was once a roady for Pantera and knows the location of a High Times magazine on the back of which Dimebag tabbed out a set of allegedly "incredibly kick ass riffs) on the night before he was shot. He will only lead Shia to the song if Shia busts him out of the joint. Shia does. They road trip. There is some kind of pussy oriented subplot along the way. Then Shia finds out that Rock caine sold his soul to th Devil and Shia has to duel with the devil's chosen axeman to win it back. The devil's guitarist is played by Buckethead. Shia beats him in the duel. He has begun to believe that there really is no lost Pantera tune, but Rocko leads him to a hotel stayed at by Dimebag on the night before he died and finds the High Times magazine with the tabbed riffs hidden in the heating vent (I stole that part from NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN). Her's the twist, though -- the song sucks. It sounded really good to everybody on the night that Dimebag wrote it because they were all shrooming their nuts off. Shia returns to his band, songless, but during the movie, he has begun working on a riff of his own. The riff evolves into a kick-as song all it's own. He plays it at the battle and wins. The end. Shia's guitar prts should be written and played by Dave Mustaine. The Title should be CROSSROADS 2: THE SHREDDING. Don't tell me you guys wouldn't watch that if it was on HBO and you were, like, already high.

The sequel would only make sense if they put keanu and swayze back in their roles..Its conceivable that Bodi maybe couldve survived the wave crash..maybe not, but its hollywood, fuck it, it was only a lil bit of water... bring Swayze and Keanu back!!

But I don't know if this is a necessary sequel. I hope Keanu will be back and DeBont finds back to his old form. @ caruso_stalker217: I really like the way that LETHAL WEAPON 3 is shot. There are lots of very awesome shots in it, e.g. the shot of the plane during the chase.
Ian McKellan is great character actor eh? by Sepulchrave	May 14th, 2008 01:28:27 AM
You liked him as Magneto? Would you stupid little boys just crawl off and play with your action figures; Ian McKellan is a bona fide genius of the stage; an unstoppable charismatic force of nature who has made nearly every great classical role his own. He could have done Gandalf in his sleep. Magneto...Fuck you, I mean, really.

Oh and will Katherine Bigelow direct? by Sepulchrave	May 14th, 2008 01:31:17 AM
The CHICK Katherine Bigelow. You forget that your testicle-rattling favorite was made by a woman. Point Breaks is a STUNNINGLY homo-erotic film; it reeks of queerness.
I bet Lori Petty's up for it... by BiggusDickus	May 14th, 2008 01:36:26 AM
Not this sequel, I mean in general...
And if Keanu and Lori are unavailable... by BiggusDickus	May 14th, 2008 01:40:03 AM
We can get Jason Patric and Sandra Bollocks. Set the movie in a pool with a wave machine - that sort of thing...
lol a great line in Point Break is - by hiperaktiv	May 14th, 2008 01:43:18 AM
"Harp, I want to tell you something. I was in the bureau, when you were still popping zits on your funny face and jerking off to the lingerie section of the sears catalog." They should seriously get Anthony Kiedis back for this one, he could just go around in an artificial foot or something. And this scene from PB kicks ass - http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=cEBUX61R9IA
Jason Patric IS Billy Idaho!! by Lord Haw Haw	May 14th, 2008 01:43:52 AM
Brittany Murphy IS Fuckhole for Crack!! If Keanu and Lori can't make it, consider this part of the casting done!! Sample snappy dialogue...IDAHO: Fuckhole, I'm a freelance investigator. I'll be helping you out on this case. FUCKHOLE: Groovy. I've got my own private eye-daho. (!!) Whether it's de Bont, van Sant, or von Trier directing, box office gold awaits!! Even Uwe Boll can't fuck this one up!!
if you listen closely... by Fortunesfool	May 14th, 2008 01:53:20 AM
You can hear me not giving a shit. Point Break is the benchmark for how to make a great film from a silly premise. One of the last great non-cgi action movies Of course, with a Jim Cameron (under a pseudonym) screenplay, what do you expect. Jan DeBont can fuck off, he's never made a good film yet.
If there's no Swayze, then why even make the movie? by ganymede3010	May 14th, 2008 01:53:56 AM
The original fanbase isn't going to show up if they recast Keanu or Patrick period.

I thought James Cameron Helped Write Point Break? by Alice Cooper Stalker	May 14th, 2008 03:32:50 AM
I seem to remember that James Cameron had writing credits on Point Break. He was married to Kathryn Bigelow (director) somewhere around then. I'm not going to get too excited about this given no mention of Cameron...no mention of Begelow...no mention of Swayzee...and no mention of Keanu. It's a sequel in name only. At least Predator 2 had the Aliens returning.
Aren't they already making another Fast & Furious? by Steve Rogers	May 14th, 2008 03:54:33 AM
Seeing how that entire franchise has ripped Point Break off to fuck, no kids today will have any interest in this sequel. Gotta love the first one though. "I know you want me, Johnny. You want me so bad it's like acid in your mouth!"
Bigelow had a good Run by bottombrick	May 14th, 2008 04:14:51 AM
When she was boning Cameron: Point Break, Strange Days, Near Dark, all great.

Kathryn Bigelow rules by Mr Gorilla	May 14th, 2008 04:33:56 AM
I'd love her to make action movies for ever. So glad you posted up this sequence. I'd love to see it on IMAX. Say what you like about Keanu, but with Point Break, Speed and Matrix he made three brilliant action movies. More than most. Oh, by the way, this sequel sounds appalling. After that HAUNTING film, I will never pay to see anything directed by Jan de Bont.
Oh, and by the way... by Mr Gorilla	May 14th, 2008 04:38:46 AM
Am glad to see STRANGE DAYS getting a bit of love - it's kind of a forgotten movie and really worth catching up with, I loved it. From the days where you could make a big budget sci-fi movie that was not only violent but also had ideas.

How in the hell do you go from Bigelow to DeBont? by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	May 14th, 2008 07:28:42 AM
Arguably the only female director who is up their with the greats of action cinema(Cameron, Mctiernan, Walter Hill, Peckinpah), and you replace her with the guy who abused us with Speed 2, Twister, The Haunting and Tomb Raider 2. The only guy who nears DeBonts incomprehension of a good action flick is Lee Tamahori. I prefer Bigelow to even Cameron. Her films feel more raw and primal.
Go BIG WAVE on 2. Keanu as Busey w/ New Young FBI Char. by cowboyone	May 14th, 2008 07:33:36 AM
I'd switch it up to BIG WAVE tow in surfing ... and switch Keanu to the washed up Busey character and bring in Shia or Paul Walker as the New, hungry, FBI kid. This will be totally awesome. I'm available to consult and for rewrites.

You could animate his corpse with wires and puppetry. It'll look more alive than Keanu. Or have him with a president mask all the time and hire his chiropractor.

Fuck all of you making fun of cancer by SoylentMean	May 14th, 2008 09:08:12 AM
I hope none of you ever get that shit. Even if it's some celebrity, when it comes down to sickness, that shit ain't funny. Go to a hospital and visit an ICU where people are dying of cancer and make fun of those people. Buncha assholes.
Bring on Hot Fuzz II!!!!!!!!!!!! by SoylentMean	May 14th, 2008 09:10:28 AM
I revisited Point Break after watching Hot Fuzz (like I'm sure a lot of you on here did) and it is hilariously bad. Yet still enjoyable. Bad Boys 2 is pretty good for the stunts. Hot Fuzz II needs to happen.
Twister was far better than Speed by TheLastCleric	May 14th, 2008 09:22:31 AM
Twister has some goofy moments but it's practically a documentary next to Speed in terms of realism. Speed hasn't aged all that well and really wasn't that great a film to begin with, at least for me personally. Twister is still fun to watch and has a pretty damn good cast to boot.
TheLastCleric by just pillow talk	May 14th, 2008 09:24:46 AM
I'm certainly glad that you find Twister fun to watch, as I find it quite unbearable, Helen's ta-ta's notwithstanding.
Strange Days predicted Tupacs Death by ganymede3010	May 14th, 2008 10:05:19 AM
Seriously, think about it. That movie predicted that rappers would be incredibly influential in the future, and how the death of the most famous rapper would shake up the culture. Truly visionary on many levels.
Strange Days is superb for at least one thing... by Darth Macchio	May 14th, 2008 10:28:37 AM
...I'm in full-on non-stalker love with Julliet Lewis and she's gratuitously and gloriously nudified in Strange Days (plus future hints of her musical career too!). Hell, there's practically POV porn with her in that movie and I love every second. Otherwise it's sort of a cheesy flique but definitely has some great moments.
Talk about useless sequels by Memories-Of-Murder	May 14th, 2008 12:02:03 PM
Who the hell wants a POINT BREAK sequel, anyway? and to make things worst, it's directed by Jan De bont. He used to be a brillant cinematographer, one of the best. And in his first movie, the lucked out, delivering one nice little action movie. In hindsight, it was the freak movie in a career exclusively made of stinkers. Great DP, terrible director. He truly should stick to his true day job.

a perfect piss-take on macho-action-movies. And has the greatest chase-scene ever! Jan de Bont made Speed and Twister, 2 of the greatest action/adventure-flicks of the `90s. Give the man some credit.
