Producer Dave Kalstein, a veteran of the NCIS-iverse and, more recently, Butterfly, is leading the campaign to find the ultimate rush, but it has yet to be given the green light.<\/p>\n<p>The original 1991 film followed undercover cop Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) as he infiltrated a gang of surfers who were also president-themed bank robbers led by the philosophizing surfer Bodhi (Patrick Swayze). Swayze died in 2009, so it\u2019s unclear how Kalstein will continue exploring the Ex-Presidents gang for the series. It seems unlikely that Reeves will make an appearance, and who knows if AMC wants to touch the third rail of Gary Busey, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/gary-busey-probation-2022-sexual-offense\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">currently on probation for groping two women at a convention in 2022<\/a>. But the film has a deep bench. Point Break also starred Lori Petty, who recently appeared on 12 episodes of NCIS: Origins, and John C. McGinley, who will appear in the upcoming Scrubs revival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A decade after Hollywood\u2019s last attempt at rebooting Kathryn Bigelow\u2019s surfer movie, Point Break, another one is standing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":351495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[88,206],"class_list":{"0":"post-351494","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=351494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/351495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=351494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=351494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=351494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
