No this is not a joke, yes it is really happening. This is a trailer for the Point Break reboot movie – which is basically the original Point Break on steroids and Red Bull (and in wingsuits). What drives me crazier than yet another Hollywood remake is that this is a remake of a movie that really should not be remade. All the things we love (and love to hate) about the original film were rooted in the actors and the time period. Point Break is surfing’s dark age that was the 90s. Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves epitomized surfer stereotypes in the most uncomfortable ways possible. Why a cult classic just be left alone for once? It had it’s time and we continue to celebrate it by quoting the many iconic Bodhi and Johnny Utah lines – and we even have Point Break Live to further continue the joke. But no, Hollywood can’t help itself from doing the same thing it always does: copy and dilute an original formula that made buttloads of money in the past, therefore a recycled version (or perhaps a sequel) will do the same. And we can’t help but fall for it every time. Hopefully this version will also be “so bad, it’s good.”
