Also this week we got the first trailer for the upcoming Point Break remake.
And it looks so whoa, yo.
Aussie up-and-comer Luke Bracey (The Best of Me) and Gerard Butler Édgar Ramírez lead the way, in the Keanu and Swayze roles of yore, Johnny Utah and Bodhi...the extreme athlete-newbie FBI agent chasing the extreme athlete Robin Hood-type rebel who has been using his skills to disrupt the international financial markets.
Of course.
Naturally, and because bigger is better, this little movie will not be limited to the SoCal surfing scene but will go ’round the world, setting its action against the backdrop of many a thrill-seeking opportunity.
Check out the trailer for a taste.
The new Point Break – featuring Teresa Palmer, Ray Winstone, Delroy Lindo, Clemence Shick, Tobias Santelmann (Kon-Tiki), and a cameoing original-flavor cast member James Le Gros, among others – will be in theaters on Christmas Day.

Well, hello there, Tobias Santelmann – how you doin’.
And do come this way to make your English-language debut if you like.
Alright, fine. Go to Brett Ratner first.
The German-born Norwegian actor – one of the guys in the Oscar-nominated Kon-Tiki – is set to co-star Hercules for the Rush Hour director, opposite Dwayne Johnson, as Rhesus, the No. 1 nemesis of the Greek god who, in this movie, will be a mortal mercenary.
You can expect to see this tentpole-y showdown next summer.
So.... Welcome to Hollywood, Mr. Santelmann. Need anything?
Perhaps a towel boy for your Rock-like gym routines as you prep for this movie?
