NFT: Point Break remake

B in ALB : 1/31/2015 5:22 pm
What the fuck? I've never heard of this nonsense.

First we get a new Ghostbusters movie filmed with clams and now this bullshit?

Hey Hollywood - fuck you.
Link - ( New Window )
This has been rumored for a while

What about bad movies that are fun to watch? How about Daniel Day Lewis as Johnny Utah?
ha, that's like subbing Johnny Unitas for Geno Smith

The only person in that cast I recognize  
Matt M. : 1/31/2015 8:45 pm : link
is Delroy Lindo, whoi I like but haven't seen in a movie since maybe Get Shorty or something like that.

My response to this is, "Why?!" but not for the same reason as some here. It was a fun movie to watch when you're like 20. But, it was a shitty movie, so who really gives a shit if they remake it? The new one will probably suck too.

I was able to guess the actress based on this post alone. Mind=blown. I don't remember ever hearing about this remake before either.
Warm Bodies was good

and she was smoking hot in it.

Bwahaha I loved spending Saturday nights as a kid watching Roadhouse on the USA Network and if I was lucky Silk Stalkings lol
I don't watch the remakes  
pjcas18 : 1/31/2015 10:32 pm : link
Ralph Macchio is Daniel LaRusso and the only Karate Kid.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the only Howser/Quaid

Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis (and Ernie Hudson) are the only ghostbusters.

No way Patrick Swayze can be replaced as Bodhi and Johnny Utah is Keanu Reeves.

I won't watch any of those remakes and I think "reboot" as a term is as bad as any phrase in corporate america.

yes, you can get off my lawn.

I first saw Roadhouse with my grandmother. She was a Sicilian matriarch from Palermo who was as old school as it gets. Needless to say it wasn't her favorite movie.

Me and my brother also dragged her to see Stripes when it first came out in the theaters.

I'm surprised our throats were not slit during the mud wrestling scene.

Very well said PJ.
Didn't they already remake Point Break when the called it  
Wuphat : 1/31/2015 10:54 pm : link
The Fast and the Furious?

Ray Winstone eh?  
santacruzom : 2/1/2015 3:15 am : link
I imagine he'd play the Gary Busey role. Winstone's pretty awesome.
I love Point Break.  
RicFlair : 2/1/2015 1:50 pm : link
I don't have any hopes for this but I'll watch it, Winstone is the man.

I'd rather watch someone just wear a Swayze mask as the Bodhi role, in fact every movie should have one character in a Swayze mask, it should be the new blackface.



and I bet everyone who hates remakes and reboots watched and enjoyed the Batman movies.
LOL

not in a million years.

Swayze, Petty, Busy and Reeves. You don't touch perfection.

remakes are totally unnecessary unless the "original" wasn't impressive.

so beautiful. love her.
some remakes work  
djm : 2/2/2015 1:55 pm : link
some don't. Remaking a cult classic...not a good idea. Remake something that wasn't done very well the first time around. Don't remake the ten commandments and name it "exodus" and don't remake a cult classic like Point Break. What's next? A remake of True Romance?


There are so many gifted directors and actors in Hollywood right now. The studios need to take more risks because the actors and directors out there are gifted enough to make magic from something that isn't canned or predictable.

Hold your tongue, man!!! My god....there could be studio people reading these threads.
I'd like to see

a remake of cannoball run!

Remakes seem to work sometimes when the original  
mfsd : 2/2/2015 2:02 pm : link
was long enough ago that most don't remember it...Ocean's 11, for example

But at this point, they're not too far away from remaking or "rebooting" movies that are 5 years old
