Bodhi's back!...Thank goodness

You've probably or probably not heard by now that Point Break has been scheduled to come back to cinema screens.

If you are like me and are a huge fan of this not merely because of the huge waves that this gang of lawbreakers surf, or the ways in which Bodhi and his friends keep seeking the rush of adrenaline either by throwing themselves out of aeroplanes, robbing banks,  or surfing the hundred year storm.

Then you'll just be as excited as I am about this news...

Warner Bros. and Alcon Entertainment want to revive this great film and bring it to today's audiences, but with all good news there has to be some bad that comes with it and unfortunatly this bad news comes in the form of Katherine Bigalow who directed the original and Gary Busey (well mainly Busey will not be on this project)

Executive producers have already been chosen for this job and these will be as I Am Rogue has it:

'...RGM Media principal Devesh Chetty and investor John McMurrick, Chairman of Marloss Entertainment, will serve as Executive Producers...'

Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove the founders of Alcon Entertainment along with Michael DeLuca, John Baldecchi, Chris Taylor and Kurt Wimmer (Wimmer also wrote the screenplay for this) will be producing this new revitalized Point Break.

Also in the same press release for this new project it is said that it will hopefully pitched to directors soon.

Alcon Entertainment have not only bought the rights for Point Break so that they can make this remake that they bought the week of the 20th anniversary of the original Point Break film but they've also managed to get gaming and television rights to it.

Also this same press release mentions that:

'The new version is set in the world of international extreme sports, and like the original involves an undercover FBI agent infiltrating a criminal ring, but plot points beyond that have not been revealed by the filmmakers...'


Apart from this there is not much known...but still even with this little infornmation I can't wait to see what this new version will look like or what the story will be or even who will be in it.
