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).

The film is due out at Christmas.

Edgar Ramirez Replacing Gerard Butler In Point Break Remake

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.

Gerard Butler Up For Patrick Swayze’s Role In Point Break Remake

For a while now, there’s been talk of a remake of Point Break. The last we heard Ericson Core signed up to direct, and now it’s moved forward once more, with THR reporting that Gerard Butler is in talks to star in the film.

Butler would play Bodhi, the role taken by Patrick Swayze in the original. Kathryn Bigelow directed the original film, which starred Keanu Reeves as a FBI agent who has to go undercover to get to the bottom of a string of bank robberies by a gang known as the Ex-Presidents. However he finds himself being tested when he realises he likes these people.

This new version will be set in the world of extreme sports, but will maintain the same tone as the original. This time the FBI agent will be infiltrating a criminal syndicate. It’s not clear when it might shoot.
