So, Point Break has been remade. We all thought that it might just be a bad dream, but it looks like thry’ve actually gone and done it. The star-power is somewhat limited in this remake of the classic Patrick Swayze/ Keanu Reeves original (which was released in the summer of 1991), with former Home and Away actor Luke Bracey playing the role of undercover FBI agent Johnny Utah (originally played by Reeves) and Édgar Ramírez (The Bourne Ultimatum, Wrath Of The Titans) playing renegade extreme sports athlete Bodhi (originally played by the late, great Patrick Swayze). These are two potential star-making turns for the undoubtably talented actors. Oh, and for some serious character acting support, the likes of Ray Winstone (Noah), Teresa Palmer (Warm Bodies) and Delroy Lindo (Ransom) are in the film too.
The original movie largely revolved around surfing and skydiving, but this new version adds to that high-concept and sees Utah infiltrate an extraordinary team of extreme sports athletes that he suspects of masterminding a string of unprecedented, sophisticated corporate heists. It looks like we’re up against snowboarding, base-jumping and rock-climbing as well.
The new trailer for the film has just gone live and you can watch it in our player below.
Point Break will open in US cinemas on Christmas Day this year, and the UK on 8th January, 2016.
