The idea of a remake to Kathryn Bigelow’s action-thriller POINT BREAK has our founder Paul Heath in a state of panic. His love for everything Patrick Swayze means those who go near anything connected to his dearly departed icon, must do him justice. On that point, the reboot of the 1991 classic, which saw Swayze as the leader of a bank robbing surfing squad, infiltrated by rookie FBI agent Keanu Reeves, has finally confirmed a director.
THE FAST & THE FURIOUS cinematographer-turned-director Ericson Core, will take charge of the movie for Alcon Entertainment, it was announced today by the company’s CEO’s Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove. It will mark only Core’s second feature film following 2006 fact-based sports drama, INVINCIBLE, which starred Mark Wahlberg.The update will be set in the world of international extreme sports, and again will involve an undercover FBI agent joining the criminal gang.
Shooting is expecting to get underway by the end of the year. We’ll keep you posted as the cast comes together.
