Kathryn Bigelow's Point Break is an undeniable action classic, so of course a remake is going to fill people reservation. Changing the setting from California surf culture to the world of extreme sports, Invincible director Ericson Core will be taking the helm, retelling the story of an FBI agent who infiltrates a gang of bank robbers with a taste for extreme sports. Word has being quiet on the project since it's announcement a few months back, but now Gerard Butler has been announced to be taking on the role of Bodhi, played by the late Patrick Swayze in the original. There's no word on who will replace Keanu Reeves as Johnny Utah, but hopefully he will look as unconvincing as a FBI agent as Reeves did.
