Break Room

This first made news a year ago...and now here it is again...

A sequel is in the works to 1991's "Point Break" according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The folks at IESB offer up a plot outline: The sequel picks up two decades later where Billy Dalton, military special ops and star surfer, 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

Kathryn Bigelow's original flick remains one of the best guilty pleasure action flicks. Keanu Reeves played FBI agent Johnny Utah who goes undercover investigating a group of bank robbers called the Ex-Presidents who happen to be surfers -wanting to ride the ultimate wave. Patrick Swayze co-starred as Bohdi

Jan de Bont is set to direct while W. Peter Iliff, who wrote the original, returned to pen the sequel called Point Break: Indo.

I can't say I'm all that jazzed over the plot outline...Since De Bont directed Reeves in Speed -I wonder if he'll take part-a cameo perhaps?

Shooting will take place in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
