What Keanu Reeves movie is getting a TV show sequel?
Per Deadlineit has now been announced that AMC is developing a sequel TV show to Point Break. The project comes from David Kalstein, Alcon Television Group, and AMC Studios.
“The series is set 35 years after the events of the original film and is focused on a dangerous heist crew with ties to the Ex-Presidents gang,” a description of the show reads. Further plot details remain under wraps at this time, though the article also notes that AMC “won the project in a highly competitive situation.”
Kalstein will write the project and serve as an executive producer alongside Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson, and Ben Roberts.
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, Point Break sees Reeves play FBI agent Johnny Utah, while the cast of the movie also includes Patrick Swayze as Bodhi ‘Bodhisattva,’ Gary Busey as Angelo Pappas, Lori Petty as Tyler Ann Endicott, John C. McGinley as Ben Harp, and James LeGros as Roach.
“After a string of bizarre bank robberies in Southern California, with the crooks donning masks of various former presidents, a federal agent, Johnny Utah, infiltrates the suspected gang,” a description of the film reads. “But this is no ordinary group of robbers. They’re surfers — led by the charismatic Bodhi — who are addicted to the rush of thievery. But when Utah falls in love with a female surfer, Tyler, who is close to the gang, it complicates his sense of duty.”
Point Break was remade in 2015, though that project received mostly negative reviews from critics. It starred Édgar Ramírez, Luke Bracey, Ray Winstone, and Teresa Palmer.
