Point Break
Warner Bros. and Alcon Entertainment have decided it ’s time to refashion yet another celebrated action motion-picture show - namely , Point Break , Oscar - winning director Kathryn Bigelow ’s highest - grossing cinema to escort . That ’s not to mention , the flick responsible for the much - parody image of a screaming Keanu Reeves fuel his gun off into the tune and one of the majuscule Malva sylvestris line ever ( " I am an F , B , I , Agent ! " ) .
Bigelow’sPoint Breakhit dramatics back in 1991 and featured such with child names ( at the sentence ) as Reeves , Patrick Swayze ( Dirty Dancing ) , Gary Busey ( Lethal Weapon ) , Lori Petty ( Booker ) , and John C McGinley ( carry on the Fourth of July ) , among others [ Side note - as you may have noticed , one-half of those late LXXX / early 90s title are now being remade ] .
No manager has been set yet for thePoint Breakremake , but Kurt Wimmer ( who is also scripting the upcomingTotal Recallremake ) will be both give rise and writing the picture show . The picture has been fast - track for development , so a helmer should be hired on soon enough .
Here is lowdown on thePoint Breakre - devising , from the official press liberation :
The novel version is ready in the world of external uttermost sports , and like the original involves an undercover FBI agent infiltrate a criminal ringing , but game point beyond that have not been revealed by the film maker .
Wimmer ’s screenplay for thePoint Breakremake also supposedly"infuses the [ original ] story and characters with new kink and setting . “Take all that as you will .
Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze in ‘Point Break’ (1991)
Point Breakis one of those classic laughable ' 90s activity flicks that tout many an incredulous , yet entertaining action set piece - including the aforementioned"shooting your heavy weapon in the air"bit and a uproarious physics - defying succession where not - so - hush-hush agent Johnny Utah ( Reeves ) and adrenaline junkie / criminal Bodhi ( Swayze ) fight one another while skydiving out of an airplane , with a single parachute between them ( look on thatNSFWsceneHERE ) .
Many a picture buff has long kvetch that the originalFast and the Furiouswas essentially a semi - remake ( or , if you choose , ripoff ) ofPoint Break , ground on the resemblance between the two - in term of plot points , characters , and the uttermost natural action featured in each respective moving-picture show . Likewise , Point Breakcaught on with a whole generation of action movie fans for the same ground thatFast Fivehit it big just this past summer - because it ’s essentially meant to serve as a stark adrenaline boot , in cinematic form .
So , all in all , it ’s potential the young generation of moviegoers who never interpret the originalPoint Breakwill terminate up presume the remake is just a ripoff of theFast and the Furiousfranchise . How ’s that for thing get along ( bizarrely ) full forget me drug ?
Wimmer has been creditworthy for scripting high-pitched - octane thriller that vary from good enough ( table salt ) to mixed ( Equilibrium ) - and sometimes just flat - out unimpressive ( Ultraviolet , Law Abiding Citizen ) . Therefore , those reading this - who are not against a remaking ofPoint Breaksolely on rule - should in all likelihood wait and see who sign on as conductor - before giving any more view as to how practiced or bad this flick will end up being .
We will keep you posted on the condition of thePoint Breakremake as more entropy is free .
