Jan de Bont Set to Direct Point Break Sequel

Seventeen years after Point Break washed up in movie theaters, surf's up for the sequel, "Point Break: Indo," with Jan de Bont aboard to direct, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

RGM Entertainment and Essential Entertainment will exec produce this Asia-based follow-up to director Kathryn Bigelow's original, which starred de Bont's Speed lead Keanu Reeves as an FBI agent casing a gang of surfer bank robbers. The new film will take place 20 years after the disappearance of one of the criminal surfers (Patrick Swayze).

Both the original and sequel are written by W. Peter Iliff. Plot details and possible character reprises have not been disclosed, but the film will shoot in Singapore and Southeast Asia.

    The original was entertaining but in no way deserves a sequel. Huge mistake.

    Jan de Bont didn't direct the first movie, Kathryn Bigelow did, so its not like its gonna be the same movie, cause as good a DP Jan was, he's a no talent hack of a director who got lucky with Speed.
