The 1991 action film "Point Break" that cast Keanu Reeves as undercover FBI agent will be getting a modernize remake courtesy of Warner Bros. The studio has recently released a new trailer for the film, revealing that the movie will no longer be just about robbing banks.
The new film casts Luke Bracey (The November Man) as Johnny Utah, a young FBI agent tasked to infiltrate a group of thrill-seekers thieves. Meanwhile, the group's leader Bodhi will be played by Edgar Ramirez (The Bourne Ultimatum, Wrath of the Titans).
As reported by Deadline, the previous trailer made Ramirez's version of Bodhi (filling the shoes of the late Swayze) appear pretty much that of a cold-hearted junkie. In the new trailer, however, he was seen mildly saying, "We have to give more than we take." He was then later asked by Johnny Utah (Bracey) if they are to steal millions of dollars, he answered, "No. We're going to give it back."
In the new "Point Break" remake trailer, details about the criminal group's motives in pulling off high-stakes crimes are seen. However, it is uncertain if Bracey's character will retain the college-football quarterback element as the trailer doesn't allude to anything related along those lines.
Moreover, it also introduces the idea about a conflict that Utah will most likely have between duty and friendship - making the movie a bit interesting. "I am an FBI Agent," is definitely what fans would love to hear from him in the film, which hits theaters on December 25.
On the other hand, /Film mentioned about the new trailer's revealing a wrinkle in the film's plot - that somehow it can be linked to a search for enlightenment as an excuse for their Robin Hood-like crimes.
A.V. Club reported that director Ericson Core hits up just about every continent as well as some life-threatening sport in this remake, which once again people will get to see Johnny doubting his loyalties to the FBI while investigating Bodhi.
The "Point Break" remake, which just released a new trailer, this time around is not just about robbing banks; it's more of the quest to complete the 'Osaka 8,' a series of ordeals that honor the forces of nature.
