Point Break Remake In The Works - Blu-ray Forum

Konfusion1230 · 09-13-2011, 05:15 AM

I love Point Break. Stop remaking movies and come up with more originals please! Besides, Point Break was already remade with a few changes. It's called The Fast and the Furious.

Remakes need to really slow down.

Will they still have an actor saying dude and whoa, every other line?

Gunna be in 3d too right?? come on Hollywood. Enough with the remakes. Does this particular story actually have to be remade?? So in like 10 15 years from now, are the new movies coming out now going to be remade. Geez

No, because every film coming out now is a remake

Forget surfing with a dash of skydiving though, apparently that stuff is just too wussy. This new version will be set in "the world of international extreme sports" but won't specify what those sports are.

If Quentin Tarantino directs and they change the title to "Surf Nazis Must Die",might go and see it.

Good/successful movies are the only movies that Hollywood has any interest in remaking. The idea is to make money off of an idea that has already worked. Remaking a movie that sucked wouldn't make sense.

You may have come up with a good thread idea though if it doesn't exist already. Movies that sucked, but could be good if remade the right way.

The Departed, The Magnificent Seven, Ben-Hur, The Maltese Falcon, The Man Who Knew Too Much, A Fistful of Dollars, True Lies, 3:10 to Yuma, Cape Fear, The Champ, Heat, Scarface, Insomnia, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), Let Me In and The Ten Commandments (1956) disagree with you.

Awesome, I've always wondered how Point Break would turn out with Taylor Lautner as Johnny Utah, Paul Walker as Bodhi, and Vanessa Hudgens as Tyler--and in 3D!!!

Who's gonna play Pappas? Jamie Foxx??!

Hollywood has remade some crappy originals that weren't a BO success

I should have said most of the times, but Bad News Bears, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Day the Earth Stood Still, King Kong, Poseidon Adventure, Psycho, Dawn of the Dead, Friday The 13th, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Omen, Prom Night, Peterpan, Agree with me

Now that I agree with! And there are a lot more stinkers than that!

But I like to stay optimistic because of those rare gems that creep up out of nowhere once in a while (like True Grit!).

Well, whether a movie is "crappy" or not is a matter of opinion and there are always exceptions to the rule. The measure of success doesn't end at the box office either. A movie that later becomes successful on DVD/Blu-Ray is also a candidate for a remake. Just look at all the "cult" movies that have straight to dvd sequels.
