There are fundamental differences though, and it’s mainly that the film is no longer centred around the ocean. “We certainly weren’t trying to remake the original, we wanted to re-imagine and bring up many of the themes that the film brought up when it came out, and ultimately we live in a slightly different world now than the early 90s – we’re in a much broader world so the idea of the themes of living freely and following your spirit and re-imagining that into what is happening in the world today and the world at large was the key to us.” Though the film is classified as a remake, Core stressed throughout the interview that the authenticity was top priority, labelling it an homage to the original above all.
#Point break 2016 plus
I was among a small group of privileged writers given access to unseen footage of the remake, plus a Q&A with the director himself Ericson Core (INVINCIBLE, FAST & FURIOUS), actor Édgar Ramírez (JOY, ZERO DARK THIRTY, BOURNE ULTIMATUM), extreme mountain snowboarder Xavier De Le Rue, and extreme rock climber Chris Sharma.įor those who haven’t seen the original Point Break by Kathryn Bigelow, starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, it follows federal agent Johnny Utah as he prepares to take down the best bank robbers in town who are carrying our bizarre raids donning ex-president masks, but the moral lines get blurry for Utah once he discovers his new surfing buddy Bodhi and his crew are actually the culprits he’s been chasing. Point Break Press Screening (L to R): Interviewer, Ericson Core, Édgar Ramírez, Xavier De Le Rue, and Chris SharmaĪlthough the majority of the public seems to harbor the opinion that there is little point in a remake of POINT BREAK (considering that the original is still pretty darn good, and as the old saying goes: don’t fix what ain’t broke), I like the idea of an action movie that values legitimate stunts performed by extreme athletes, rather than being served a plate of 2 hour constant CGI.
