Let's Cast the Remake of 'Point Break'

Sorry, brah. Just if you retrieved within the discomfort triggered with the 'Dirty Dancing' reboot, Hollywood has once again raided your cache of Patrick Swayze nostalgia for the next remake: 'Point Break.' Alcon Entertainment is positioned to produce the Kathryn Bigelow-directed cult hit into the twenty-first century, with extreme sports altering the bodacious waves of So-Cal. (The less mentioned in regards to the recommended change, the higher.) It affects like falling your surfboard, but let's plow forward together. Order up a meatball sandwich and search for some Moviefone-approved 'Point Break' casting suggestions ahead. Ryan Gosling as Johnny Utah (initially carried out by Keanu Reeves) The instinct here's probably to cast someone like Chris Pine, Ryan Reynolds or Paul Master inside the lead role made famous by Keanu Reeves and also the righteous line delivery. Nonetheless, no film would are stricken by more Gos. (Ryan Gosling, for people non-superfans.) He's probably too famous to steer 'Dirty Dancing' for Lionsgate despite his capacity to "perform the move," though Warner Bros. prone to release 'Point Break' -- a studio he's labored with formerly on 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.' as well as the approaching 'Gangster Squad' -- the casting almost feels serendipitous. Plus, who wouldn't want to listen to Gosling say, "I caught my first tube today... mister" with a stuffy authority figure? Josh Holloway as Bodhi (initially carried out by Patrick Swayze) He is not the A-lister that Patrick Swayze was throughout time from the initial 'Point Break,' but -- fame aside -- will there be anybody more perfect to see Bodhi than former 'Lost' castaway Josh Holloway? No, rhetorical question, there isn't! Holloway is gruff, masculine, at ease with taking his shirt off and believably older than the youthful-buck Utah. This kinda seems as being a no-brainer, meaning it's zero chance of really happening. Adrianne Palicki as Tyler (initially carried out by Lori Petty) Palicki, the 'Friday Evening Lights' star and erstwhile Question Lady, is much more Amazonian in comparison to small Ms. Petty, but she's a real tomboy who's not frightened of tangling while using opposite gender -- a trait surfer-girl Tyler offers excessively. (Let's hope surfer women continue being found in this "extreme sports" version of 'Point Break.') Nicolas Cage as Pappas (initially carried out by Gary Busey) Grizzled, over-the-top and mostly insane, the role of Pappas in 'Point Break' basically given Gary Busey the chance to experience themselves. Is Nicolas Cage the present-day Busey? Does it really matter when he'd achieve say a line similar to this? "Listen you snot-nose little sh-t, I used to be takin' shrapnel in Khe Sanh if you were crappin' along with you and rubbin' it inside your face." Jason Patric as FBI Director Ben Harp (initially carried out by John C. McGinley) If you prefer a bureaucratic jerk inside an authority position you call either Billy Crudup or Jason Patric. Simple. (Alternate: just cast John C. McGinley again.) Chace Crawford, Alex Pettyfer and Paul Master since the "Ex-Presidents" (initially carried out by James LeGros, John Philbin and Bojesse Christopher) Let's believe that Bodhi's bizarrely youthful-ant gang can get an extended role in this update, which their cooperation requires optional t t shirts. You could do this this worse than eye-chocolate like Crawford, Pettyfer and Master. Showed up at consider it, why hasn't Steven Soderbergh cast Crawford and Master in stripper drama 'Magic Mike'? Can get on that exploitation, Steve! For further on 'Point Break,' have a look at Moviefone's anniversary interview with star Gary Busey from taken. Photo: last century Fox
