New Point Break Trailer – Luke Bracey and Edgar Ramirez get into extreme sports

September 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

point-break-2015-slideWhether we need a remake of Point Break or not, we’re getting one, and to give us a fresh taste of the movie, as new trailer has arrived, which you can take a look at below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In Alcon Entertainment’s fast-paced, high-adrenaline action thriller “Point Break,” a young FBI agent, Johnny Utah (Luke Bracey), infiltrates a cunning team of thrill-seeking elite athletes – led by the charismatic Bodhi (Edgar Ramirez). The athletes are suspected of carrying out a spate of crimes in extremely unusual ways.

‘Deep undercover, and with his life in imminent danger, Utah strives to prove they are the architects of this string of inconceivable crimes.

‘The film is replete with the most daring athleticism ever seen in a motion picture. These action adventure feats are performed by elite athletes representing the world’s best in class in big-wave surfing, wingsuit flying, sheer-face snowboarding, free rock climbing, and high-speed motorcycling.

‘The film stars Édgar Ramírez (“Zero Dark Thirty,” “The Bourne Ultimatum,” “Carlos the Jackal”) as Bodhi, and Luke Bracey (“G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” “November Man”) as Johnny Utah, along with Ray Winstone (“Noah,” “The Departed”), Teresa Palmer (“Warm Bodies”) and Delroy Lindo (“Sahara,” “Gone in Sixty Seconds”), under the direction of Ericson Core (“Invincible”).’

The film arrives in US cinemas at Christmas, and in the UK in early January. [Read more…]

First Look At Luke Bracey and Edgar Ramirez In The Point Break Remake

April 23, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

point-break-2015-pic1After a whole host of high profile actors passed on the Point Break remake, the producers settled on Luke Bracey and Edgar Ramirez and be their new Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. They may not be big names, but they’re good actors, so hopefully that will count.

That said, reaction to the trailer shown at CinemaCon was mixed, with the only thing people agreeing being that a scene involving wingsuits was cool. While we don’t have the trailer yet, we don’t have the first two pics.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the fast-paced, high-adrenaline “Point Break,” a young FBI agent, Johnny Utah (Luke Bracey), infiltrates a cunning team of thrill-seeking elite athletes – led by the charismatic Bodhi (Edgar Ramirez).

May 14, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Edgar-RamirezIn the last couple of months it seemed the Point Break remake was coming together well, but a few days ago a major spanner was thrown into the works when Gerard Butler bailed.

He had been due to take over Patrick Swayze’s role, but a scheduling conflict meant he was forced to step away.

Backers Alcon and director Ericson Core (Invincible) have moved quickly to replace him though as Variety reports that Egdar Ramirez (Carlos, Wrath Of The Titans) has stepped into the role.

He joins Luke Bracey, who will be Johnny Utah, a young FBI agent who goes undercover to infiltrate a crime syndicate who are involved in the world of international extreme sports. Ramirez will be Bodhi, who’s involved in the crimes and whose influence ends up with Utah questioning what side he should be on. Ray Winstone will also star.

Principal photography is set to begin early this summer.

Francois Arnaud, Billy Magnussen & Luke Bracey May Find Fifty Shades Of Grey

October 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

billy-magnussenWith Charlie Hunnam out, Universal are scrabbling to find a replacement who’s not only hot enough but ready and willing to get S&M steamy when cameras start rolling in a few year’s time.

Alexander Skarsgard, Christian Cooke and Jamie Dornan (The Fall) have already been rumoured as replacements, and now E! adds in Billy Magnussen and Luke Bracey, while JustJared says Francois Arnaud is in the mix.

None of the new names are strangers to nudity, as Magnussen spent most of his time on stage in the play ‘Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike’ in his underpants, while Luke Bracey spent a lot of time with his shirt off in the Aussie soap Home And Away.  Arnaud meanwhile has been seen getting sexy in the Borgias (and going gay in I Killed My Mother).

Take a look at pics of all three below, and see which you’d prefer as the billionaire Christian Grey, who gets into a kinky relationship with the young Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson).

Max Landis Casts Dustin Milligan, Luke Bracey & Emily Meade In Sexual Identity Comedy Me Him Her

July 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Dustin Milligan

Dustin Milligan

A few months ago it was revealed that Max Landis – son on John and writer of Chronicle – was set to make his directing debut with an indie comedy called Me Him Her. He’s now moving forward with the film, with TheWrap reporting that with Dustin Milligan, Luke Bracey and Emily Meade will take the lead roles.

The film is described as a comedy about sexual identity, suggesting there may be a little gay going on, ‘Exploring love, sex, friendship and sword combat [yes, really] in what Landis has described as “the weirdest, most surreal way possible,” the story ultimately emphasizes that conceptions of self should be flexible.’

Landis adds, “’Me Him Her’ is completely different than anything I’ve ever written. You usually find me writing what I like to think of as intelligent summer action and genre films. ‘Me Him Her’ is deeply personal, and at its most basic level, a generational story about relationships and identity.”

Milligan (who incidentally was one of Cory Monteith’s roommates) will next be seen in The Conjuring. Bracey meanwhile recently appeared in G.I. Joe: Retaliation and will soon be seen in American Dream and the Pierce Brosnan movie November Man. Meade recently complete shooting Are We Officially Dating?, opposite Zac Efron and Miles Teller.
