I don't know why these crazy sequels surprise me anymore but well, I'm kind of shocked. They're really going ahead with a "Point Break" sequel. That's right, and what's the big news today is that this won't be one of those straight-to-DVD knock-offs. Nope, an actual one-time kinda sorta respected director is attached to this one...Jan de Bont. The original "Point Break" writer is scripting. And Keanu Reeves just told his agent to tell the studio he's on holiday.

Then again, let's not forget that de Bont directed Reeves in the original "Speed." Could this be an elaborate play to lure the star back? I think they'll have better luck with Busey.

But enough about me. What do you think? Does a "Point Break" sequel get you excited or make you want to pull a Bodhi and jump out of an airplane?

"It's very much like 'Strangelove' set in the future, very dark and twisted," he amended finally.

Forget the tone, Cusack's next flick is the movie so nice they named it twice. "It's called 'Brand Hauser,'" Cusack corrected. "It's on the web right now as 'War, Inc.' but that was for the foreign sales guys." Read more...
