Gerard Butler Will Put On Another Great American Voice for POINT BREAK
Thu, January 9, 2014 
In a time of remakes, prequels, preboots, requels, semakes, and super-hero films, one thing will always guide us through the difficult future ahead:
There will ALWAYS be a Late 80s-Early 90s film that needs to be redone for whatever reason.
The latest comes from Variety, who reports that Gerard Butler (Olympus Has Fallen, Law Abiding Citizen) is in talks to take the role of Bodhi, the character played by the late Patrick Swayze in the 1991 Kathyrn Bigelow classic.
Ericson Core has been attached to direct Kurt Wimmer’s screenplay, set in the world of extreme sports. The remake will retain the original story of an FBI agent infiltrating a ring of criminals.
Butler will play Bodhi, the thrill-seeking surfer portrayed by Patrick Swayze in the original. Butler also surfed in the 2012 drama “Chasing Mavericks” as Frosty Hesson.
No word yet on who might play Quarter-back punk Johnny Utah, played by a young Keanu Reeves; but I'd say you might want to see if Johnny Manziel is interested in a film career.
