You’ve waited all this time and now your patience is finally paying off. Get ready to catch that that perfect wave once more…
In a ‘let’s milk this baby for all its worth Hollywood moment’, Patriot Games scripter Peter Iliff is to write and direct “Point Break 2,” a 20 years later sequel to the surfing crime thriller that he co-wrote in 1987 and was a hit for Largo Entertainment in 1991.
New pic will be set in Southeast Asia and uncover the fate of the surfers’ leader Bodhi who was supposedly killed by a giant wave. Action follows a surfer-turned-SEAL on the trail of a criminal gang. Locations being scouted include Indonesia and Singapore.
Casting will include English-language and Asian male leads and Asian female love interest and be set for a 2008 release. DaDump is picturing Edison Chen and Daniel Wu alongside Hyori in a variety of bikini shots.
“It is really important that this film stands on its own two feet and we will be looking for a young male action star at the same stage in his career as Keanu (Reeves) was,” RGM’s CEO Devesh Chetty said.
