Ex-Presidents Gang Back for Point Break Revival
15 Dec
Summary
- A Point Break TV series is in development.
- It follows a dangerous heist crew linked to the original film.
- The series is set 35 years after the 1991 movie.
A television series adaptation of the cult classic "Point Break" is reportedly in the works, aiming to reignite the adrenaline-fueled world of bank-robbing surfers. The proposed series is slated to be set in 2026, a full 35 years after the original Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves film captivated audiences with its blend of action and crime.
The new show would delve into the lives of a perilous heist crew, intricately linked to the notorious Ex-Presidents gang featured in the original movie. This ambitious project is being spearheaded by writer Dave Kalstein, alongside Alcon Television Group and AMC Studios, with AMC securing the rights after a competitive development process.
"Point Break," originally directed by Kathryn Bigelow, followed rookie FBI agent Johnny Utah's infiltration of a group of adrenaline junkies who were also daring bank robbers. The film has already seen a feature film remake in 2015, but this television series aims to offer a new chapter.
