“You want me so bad, its like acid in your mouth.”
Johnny Utah’s going to get another chance to bring down the bad guys.
Alcon Entertainment is remaking 1991′s Point Break, which starred Keanu Reeves as a rookie FBI agent who goes undercover as a surfer to bring down down a bank robber (Patrick Swayze) and his crew. Academy Award–winning director Kathryn Bigelow directed the original.
While no director is currently attached to the remake, screenwriter Kurt Wimmer (Salt) wrote the screenplay, which will again follow a young FBI agent going undercover to bring down criminals — this time in the world of international extreme sports.
In other “Hollywood” news the movie “Of Men and Marvericks” is currently filming up in Half Moon Bay and the latest rumors are Dan Malloy is surfing for Gerald Butler and Dillon Perillo will be short boarding as Jay Moriarty along with Colin McPhillips will be doing the long boarding as Jay. Paparazzi photographer Doug Acton was caught uninvited on the movie set and was asked to leave.

Former pro surfer Anthony Ruffo pleads “no contest” (not admitting guilt, but will not fight the allegations) today inside a Santa Cruz courthouse to selling meth. The sentencing will take place on Feb. 21, 2012 where Ruffo will here is final punishment being jail, prison or house arrest.
Anthony – “It’s a relief to have this day behind me,” said Ruffo today after the court proceedings had ended. “I’m ready for whatever the next chapter is, ready to move on.”
Ben Rice (Anthony’s attorney) – “I think what he’s ultimately looking at is a split sentence: one year in jail and three years probation. With the restructuring in California’s prison and jail system, he may not actually have to spend any time in jail and would be monitored by an ankle bracelet.”
