'Point Break' Sequel Announced - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 05-14-2007, 06:15 PM

Hollywood heartthrob Patrick Swayze is ready to don his wetsuit again - he will reprise his surfboarding gang boss role in a Point Break sequel.

The 1991 thriller also starred Keanu Reeves, but it's doubtful The Matrix star will appear in the follow up.

The new movie--which will follow an ex-professional surfer sent to track down a criminal gang--will be set in south east Asia, and will be directed by the writer of the original film, Peter Iliff.

He tells Moviehole.com, "I would like to return to Point Break because it represents my career coming full circle. The original was the first movie I ever wrote, the sequel would be my first ever directorial effort."

Patrick is looking quite old lately, if Keanu is not in this one I don't think it will work.

Cactus Jack · 05-14-2007, 10:09 PM

Reminds me of that scene in Hot Fuzz

I would say that assessment is correct.

At this point, why bother with a sequel?? They might as well do a remake with some hot young dude rather than dusting off Swayze. His time was twenty years ago.

Or they could make it Point Break: The Next Generation and have the best of both worlds.

Or they could do the right thing and not make this movie at all.

catlover79 · 05-15-2007, 05:32 PM

And the "point" of a sequel is...??

TJL · 05-15-2007, 05:42 PM

If Swayze wants to do a followup of one of his films, then why not do a classic?

Like Steel Dawn?

nobody else realizes that Patrick Swayze DIED at the end of the original? That makes it even more pointless
