The update came during AMC\u2019s upfront presentation, where executives outlined their future slate.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/bannerman-tv-series-amc-point-break-2027-premiere-1236579021\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">THR<\/a>, CCO Dan McDermott says the production team is \u201cpushing really fast\u201d on the project.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, shooting aims to begin later this year or very early next year in Australia.  The goal, according to the trade, is to bring the \u201cadrenaline-heavy spirit of the original into a modern format without losing its identity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Word came back in December that AMC had begun development of a series that was essentially a combination sequel\/minor reboot of the iconic 1991 Kathryn Bigelow-directed action film.<\/p>\n<p>Keanu Reeves starred in the film as a rookie FBI agent named Johnny Utah, who infiltrates the Ex-Presidents \u2013 a gang of Southern California surfers who rob banks. The new series would be set 35 years after the original and follow a dangerous heist crew with ties to the Ex-Presidents gang.<\/p>\n<p>David Kalstein (\u201cTreadstone,\u201d \u201cButterfly\u201d) created the series and will write and executive produce alongside Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson and Ben Roberts.  The show will have no ties to the ill-fated 2015 film remake.<\/p>\n<p>AMC has its acclaimed \u201cInterview with the Vampire\u201d returning next month in the form of \u201cThe Vampire Lestat\u201d with series creator\/showrunner Rolin Jones also working on a new \u201cThe Grapes of Wrath\u201d adaptation for the network.<\/p>\n<p>Previous article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/serkis-on-viggos-reaction-to-aragorn-recasting\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Serkis On Viggo\u2019s Reaction To Aragorn Recasting<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"20th Century Studios AMC Global Media has confirmed that the previously announced \u201cPoint Break\u201d sequel TV series is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620633,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[137872,88,92],"class_list":["post-620632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620632","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=620632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
