Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, Lori Petty and Gary Busey starred in the W. Peter Iliff-penned film.<\/p>\n<p>It followed a rookie FBI agent named Johnny Utah, who infiltrates the Ex-Presidents, a gang of Southern California surfers who rob banks. He gets swept up in their daredevil lifestyle before a massive action chase and a reunion amid lethal waves.<\/p>\n<p>The new series takes place 35 years after the events of the original and is focused on a dangerous heist crew with ties to the Ex-Presidents gang.  The project has no ties to the widely panned 2015 remake starring Edgar Ramirez and Luke Bracey.<\/p>\n<p>David Kalstein (\u201cButterfly,\u201d \u201cTreadstone\u201d) created the series which has been set up at Alcon Television Group and AMC Studios.  Kalstein will write and executive produce alongside Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson and Ben Roberts.<\/p>\n<p>AMC has recently had major critical success with its \u201cAnne Rice\u2019s Interview with the Vampire\u201d series which returns for a third season next year under the name \u201cThe Vampire Lestat\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/12\/point-break-tv-series-amc-1236648939\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Previous article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/disney-sets-a-live-action-gaston-movie\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Disney Sets A Live-Action \u201cGaston\u201d Movie<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/avengers-doomsday-teaser-leaks-online\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cAvengers: Doomsday\u201d Teaser Leaks Online<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"20th Century Studios AMC is developing a TV series adaptation of the iconic 1991 Kathryn Bigelow-directed action film&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":317948,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[94966,96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-317947","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-bigslider","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/317948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
