presidents during their heists, with Ronald Reagan as their ring-leader. Peter Iliff, however, who came up with the robbers wearing masks of former U.S. I always thought of it as ' Tom Cruise Joins the FBI.'" The guy undercover ends up liking the guys he's trying to bust more than who he's working for.
It wasn't that original an idea, there's only like 10 ideas. "It just made a lot of sense and everything just flowed from that.
And a FBI agent that's a good athlete that goes undercover among those surfers.'
#NEW POINT BREAK CAST HOW TO#
And then I was sitting on a beach in Malibu, learning how to surf, and I'd just gotten out of the water. "So there was a huge bank robbing problem, which is of course an FBI thing. "Los Angeles at that time was sort of Bank Robbery Central, because you could rob a bank and then jump on the freeway," he recalled to Hidden Films in 2013. Point Break was day-dreamed into being by filmmaker Rick King, who's credited with the story. But thanks to VCRs and endless cable repeats, it became nothing short of a cultural touchstone.ġ. Starring the late, great Patrick Swayzeas a wisdom-spouting charismatic surfer who moonlights as a ruthlessly efficient bank robber and Keanu Reevesas the FBI agent sent to take him down but who can't help but get swept up in a wave of conflicting emotions, Point Break was a modest hit upon arrival.
#NEW POINT BREAK CAST MOVIE#
The original 1991 classic is easily the most-watched, most-quoted and most revered-by-the-masses movie (no offense, Best Picture winner The Hurt Locker) in Bigelow's impressive body of work, thanks to what in hindsight was a fairly magical combination of casting, timing and genre, a heist flick half in the ocean, a true L.A. Is there a better way to describe Point Break?! She also said in a 2009 interview with the Los Angeles Times, "I love B-movies.There is a wildly chaotic rawness to them. Now it's up to director Ericson Core ( Invincible) to exceed that expectation.Kathryn Bigelow always admired classic action films and the directors, from Sam Peckinpah to James Cameron, who made them, stories with "high impact" and "emotional involvement."

His team will be doing work for us, over the summer, in Switzerland with motocross. We have real athletes who do this, like Jeb Corliss, who’s the greatest wing-suiter in the world.

We’ve actually been in photography on the film, beginning our stunt work with our real athletes. And we were in the Italian Alps with the greatest extreme snow boarders in the world, shooting footage. We’ve shot some extraordinary footage with our surfers.
