RGM Entertainment and Essential Entertainment  have signed director Jan De Bont (SPEED) to direct POINT BREAK INDO. The script was written by W. Peter Iliff who wrote the original.

The sequel to POINT BREAK, per ISEB, will center on Billy Dalton, a military special ops and star surfer, who is disqualified from the pro-surfing tour. He takes off for the coast of Bali looking for the perfect wave. While there he's recruited by a private security force who are trying to find a gang known as The Bush Administration, surfing outlaws and modern day pirates who work like "The Ex-Presidents," a bank robbing crew from Malibu twenty years ago.

Taylor Morgan Pictures' Chris Taylor and John Morgan will produce. RGM's Devesh Chetty, Essential's Jere Hausfater, Neil Kaplan and Jan de Bont will will executive produce the film, which will be shot in Asia.

POINT BREAK was directed by Kathryn Bigelow, and revolved around FBI Special Agent John 'Johnny' Utah (Keanu Reeves) casing a gang of surfer bank robbers lead by Bodhi (Patrick Swayze).

Without Keanu I don't think I'll be that interested. But who knows, with enough action and a well done story it may be alright.

I've posted this on several threads already, but here it is again, for the last time, I think
On a seperate note, it seems that Jarrod is on vacation but Mania seems to be leaving out some headlines and rumors that deserve some mention
1- Guy Ritchie is J.Silver's choice to direct Sgt.Rock from DC comics.

2-Kick Ass comic is in pre-production already.

3-Cap's shield makes a cameo in IronMan.Check the still on Latest Maniac's Updates

4-Another site is reporting that Marvel will invest 150 to 300mil on Thor and it will be the most "fantastic" Marvel adaptation to date and Pitt is the name being tossed around for the role.

5-"Hancock" is doing reshoots in NY. Usually bad news this late in the game. The film has failed to get a pg13 rating two times and isn't testing well so far.

6-Here is a link for some semi-nude shots of Megan Fox...http://www.wwtdd.com/post.phtml?pk=6142

7-Transformers 2 is rumored to be heading for the 3D treatment

8-The one that's eating at me the most, this is just a rumor, but some sites are saying that Matt McConaughey is being considered for Captain America

Damn it wiseguy, i thought i would see some boobs. Damn it all to hell!!!!!

I read some mixed reviews for Hancock but i'm still there

WISEGUY562 • May 13, 2008, 05:43pm •
I'm there too. But the dvd is going to be the bomb, because they're doing a lot of editing to get that pg13. You know they're cutting the part where he sticks the guys head up his own butt.

i read there was a "super ejaculation" scene. I can't remember where I read it though.
did you find out who this "associate editor"?

WISEGUY562 • May 13, 2008, 05:50pm •
I read the same thing, where he's masturbating in the trailer and the ejaculate shoots through the roof. See my problem with Superman's kid now.

There can be only one!

Bodhi is pretty ruggedly awesome looking. Seems familiar, though...

de bont should stay at director of photography, since he is director, i was never impress. speed, speed 2 nothing special, twister was ok, but the script was good, so he didn t do anything special. The haunting was the worst from my personnal point of view, since we didn t see him much ! I am not interresting to see a remake of that classic movies.

Why why why? The only good thing about Point Break was the referencing to it in Hot Fuzz.

PG-13 editing is to take out the super-ejaculation and the head-up-the-ass. I'll still see it. It looks great.

McConaughey has the look, but he'd have to beef up a bit and lose the accent. And I've never seen him do a movie without the accent. Cap's shield in IM is cool, but all the screenshots I've seen are blurry. I don't think it means anything deep, though. I think it's just an easter egg for the fanboys.

P.S. Wiseguy, Superman's kid was conceived when he had lost his super powers in Superman 2.
