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.
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.

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.

just a remake disguised as a sequel, with a new young cast.

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

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.
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.

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.

Point Broke. by Sithtastic	May 13th, 2008 09:07:06 PM
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.

Pint Break 2: Bar Brawl Revolutions by Seph_J	May 13th, 2008 11:23:31 PM
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.

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.

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.

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.
Sequel? by bottombrick	May 14th, 2008 02:04:48 AM

Bring Bigelow back! by CuervoJones	May 14th, 2008 02:25:54 AM
Action sequences were great in that movie.
Point break live is good by bottombrick	May 14th, 2008 02:45:39 AM
But Evil Dead the Musical was pretty tight.
I can't believe by kwisatzhaderach	May 14th, 2008 03:04:07 AM
some of the posters on here are slating Point Break. I guess some people just don't understand what good filmmaking is.
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.
Funniest TB remark in Ages: by Lost Jarv	May 14th, 2008 04:28:16 AM
"I think we can all picture Gollum buggering various things (sheep, fish, cows, dead orcs, a heavily drugged Samwise)" Somewhere Ringy exploded when that was put up.
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.

Awww LT Kaffee you got that off man. by SID 8.0	May 14th, 2008 06:54:10 AM
With the "Utah, get me two." line dammit! that being said there are so many others. "You can be just like all these other corpses driving around in their shiny metal coffins." The sequel is a bad idea and way past its expiration date. Loved that movie though.
"Fuck. Fuck it all." by just pillow talk	May 14th, 2008 07:01:13 AM
I can't think of a better summary for all the non-original ideas we are getting now. Kudos Yack.
No Swayze = No Point Break by Abominable Snowcone	May 14th, 2008 07:22:51 AM
It's not Point Break without Bodi. And be sure to include Anthony and Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Mark Isham soundtrack/score by Ray Gamma	May 14th, 2008 07:24:16 AM
As long as they let Mark Isham do the score again. It was the strongest thing about the original "Point Break" movie.

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.

Criminally underrated, visionary sci-fi thriller!

whats up with Swayze? some asshole TBer mentioned lung cancer, does he have it?
this needs NICHOLAS CAGE by Spandau Belly	May 14th, 2008 08:42:36 AM
Keanu and Cage trying to outoveract each other on surf boards = movie perfection

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.
I Agree with Yachbacker... by thedoctor28	May 14th, 2008 02:49:35 PM
