Let us Cast the Remake of 'Point Break'

Sorry, brah. Just whenever you retrieved in the discomfort triggered through the 'Dirty Dancing' reboot, Hollywood has once more raided your cache of Patrick Swayze nostalgia for an additional remake: 'Point Break.' Alcon Entertainment is placed to create the Kathryn Bigelow-directed cult hit in to the twenty-first century, with extreme sports changing the bodacious waves of So-Cal. (The less stated concerning the suggested change, the greater.) It affects like falling your surfboard, but let us plow forward together. Order up a meatball sandwich and look for some Moviefone-approved 'Point Break' casting suggestions ahead. Ryan Gosling as Johnny Utah (initially performed by Keanu Reeves) The instinct here's most likely to cast someone like Chris Pine, Ryan Reynolds or Paul Master within the lead role made famous by Keanu Reeves and the righteous line delivery. Nevertheless, no film would are afflicted by more Gos. (Ryan Gosling, for individuals non-superfans.) He's most likely too famous to guide 'Dirty Dancing' for Lionsgate despite his capability to "perform the move," however with Warner Bros. likely to release 'Point Break' -- a studio he's labored with formerly on 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.' and also the approaching 'Gangster Squad' -- the casting almost feels serendipitous. Plus, who wouldn't wish to hear Gosling say, "I caught my first tube today... mister" to some stuffy authority figure? Josh Holloway as Bodhi (initially performed by Patrick Swayze) He isn't the A-lister that Patrick Swayze was during the time of the initial 'Point Break,' but -- fame aside -- can there be anybody more perfect to experience Bodhi than former 'Lost' castaway Josh Holloway? No, rhetorical question, there's not! Holloway is gruff, masculine, confident with taking his shirt off and believably over the age of the youthful-buck Utah. This kinda appears just like a no-brainer, meaning it's zero possibility of really happening. Adrianne Palicki as Tyler (initially performed by Lori Petty) Palicki, the 'Friday Evening Lights' star and erstwhile Question Lady, is a lot more Amazonian compared to small Ms. Petty, but she's an actual tomboy who is not scared of tangling using the opposite gender -- a trait surfer-girl Tyler offers excessively. (Let us hope surfer women continue to be contained in this "extreme sports" version of 'Point Break.') Nicolas Cage as Pappas (initially performed by Gary Busey) Grizzled, over-the-top and mostly insane, the role of Pappas in 'Point Break' essentially given Gary Busey the opportunity to play themself. Is Nicolas Cage the current-day Busey? Will it really matter when he'd reach say a line such as this? "Listen you snot-nose little sh-t, I had been takin' shrapnel in Khe Sanh whenever you were crappin' with you and rubbin' it in your face." Jason Patric as FBI Director Ben Harp (initially performed by John C. McGinley) If you want a bureaucratic jerk within 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 because the "Ex-Presidents" (initially performed by James LeGros, John Philbin and Bojesse Christopher) Let us think that Bodhi's bizarrely youthful-ant gang will get an broadened role within this update, which their cooperation requires optional t shirts. You could do this worse than eye-chocolate like Crawford, Pettyfer and Master. Arrived at think about it, why has not Steven Soderbergh cast Crawford and Master in stripper drama 'Magic Mike'? Access it that exploitation, Steve! For additional on 'Point Break,' take a look at Moviefone's anniversary interview with star Gary Busey from captured. Photo: twentieth century Fox
