James Kermack will direct Breathe Deep, an action thriller starring Ingrid Torelli, Michiel Huisman, and TikToker Avani Gregg.

Kermack wrote the screenplay with G.D. Wright. Cornerstone will handle world sales and will launch the project at the European Film Market.

The film is produced by Featuristic Films’ Julien Loeffler and James Kermack (Salvable). Principal photography will start this year. Denis Lagrange (Point Break) has signed on as cinematographer. The film’s other technical team features composer Walter Mair and casting director Nancy Bishop (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol).

The film’s synopsis reads: Thirteen years after witnessing her father’s death by a shark in the Devil’s Triangle, exploration influencer Addy Frost (Torelli) returns to the fateful site wearing a replica of his vintage diving suit,...

Road House 2024 successfully breaks the streak of failed Patrick Swayze remakes, proving its worth with critics and audiences alike. The remake offers a fresh take on the original, with a new lead character and a more entertaining, polished action-packed plot. With the success of Road House 2024, future Swayze remakes like Ghost and Dirty Dancing sequels have a promising road ahead.

The fact that Road House’s remake succeeded with critics means that the long streak of failed Patrick Swayze remakes has come to an end. 2024’s Road House remake is a crowd-pleasing action thriller by director Doug Liman. Pitting Jake Gyllenhaal’s tough bouncer against Conor McGregor’s unhinged crime boss, the slick remake of Patrick Swayze’s 1989 star vehicle is bruising, brutal, and just silly enough to be entertaining without sacrificing the story’s stakes. This is quite an achievement considering earlier attempts to remake Swayze’s hits proved disastrous,...

Richard Hughes to direct from screenplay by Point Break and Patriot Games writer W. Peter Iliff.

Millennium Media has dropped a hot project into the virtual Cannes market, announcing that it is producing and will kick off talks with global buyers on noir thriller The Enforcer starring Antonio Banderas.

Richard Hughes will direct from a screenplay by Point Break and Patriot Games writer W. Peter Iliff. Rob Van Norden, Yariv Lerner, Jeffrey Greenstein, Jonathan Yunger, and Les Weldon of Millennium Media are producing alongside Natalie Burn of Born to Burn Films. Executive Producers for Millennium Media are Avi Lerner, Boaz Davidson,...

Just a few weeks after we reported that The Mummy remake star Marwan Kenzari is in talks to play the villainous Jafar in Disney's Aladdin reboot, it seems the studio has also found the villain's right-hand man. Turkish actor Numan Acar is in talks to portray Hakim, who serves as the "head of the guards" for Jafar in this live-action remake. There was a guard character named Hakim, voiced by Frank Welker, in the original Aladdin movie, but it seems he will be a much more substantial character in this live-action movie.

Deadline broke the news of this casting, but their report did not include Marwan Kenzari as part of the cast, so perhaps his deal has not been finalized at this time. Numan Acar will be joined by Will Smith, who voices The Genie, Mena Massoud as the title character Aladdin, Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine and Nasim Pedrad as Mara,...

If you still haven't seen Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 yet, there will be some Spoilers below, particularly for one of the five Guardians 2 post-credit scenes. By this point, we're guessing that most people who wanted to see this superhero sequel have seen it alread. But if there are some that are still waiting for the Blu-ray and DVD release later this month, we're giving you a fair warning. This is your last chance to avoid spoilers for the Guardians 2 post-credit scene, which introduces a long-awaited character into the McU, with one artist offering a glimpse at what a certain actor may look like as this character.

If you have seen the movie and the five post-credit scenes, perhaps the most intriguing of these scenes is one where Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki) from The Sovereign showcases the coccoon that will be used to give birth to Adam Warlock. Kevin Feige...

According to Deadline, Point Break remake director Ericson Core has signed on to direct The Claim, a drama film that doesn’t sound like it would be an especially big deal if not for the fact that it was written by La La Land’s Damien Chazelle. The movie is about a father with a “criminal background” whose daughter gets kidnapped, but while trying to track her down, a different couple shows up and makes “mysterious claims” that the child actually belongs to them. That makes it sound like the other couple was probably behind the kidnapping, but maybe the daughter was taken by a third party, and the criminal dad has to fight with the mysterious couple to prove that she’s really his daughter and not theirs.

Beyond Point Break, Core also directed the sports movie Invincible and worked as a cinematographer on The Fast And The Furious...

Today, word has come down the wire that Ericson Core (Invinsible, Point Break) has signed on to direct The Claim, a thriller penned by La La Land Oscar winner Damien Chazelle.

La La Land and Whiplash's Damien Chazelle has written a thrilled called The Claim, which will now be directed by Ericson Core...

Damien Chazelle has had one of the most interesting (and fastest) career rises in recent Hollywood memory. Only a few years ago, he worked on screenplays for horror movies like The Last Exorcism Part II (he also had a hand in 10 Cloverfield Lane), but the 32-year-old filmmaker now has an Oscar for his directing of La La Land, which followed his previous critical hit, Whiplash.

Before Dom was flexing his muscles Cage was getting fast and furious in order to protect his family.

This weekend movie theaters are going to be packed with hordes of people eager to check out The Fate of the Furious, the 8th film in the unexpectedly super popular Fast and Furious franchise. And that’s all fine and well. I enjoy the films; they’re dumb, stupid, exciting fun. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever, but we must remember that a year before Dom and his crew ripped off Point Break, the legendary Nicolas Cage was snatching up cars left and right and doing so in under 60 seconds.

Of course I’m going to talk about Gone in 60 Seconds.

Cage stars as the Memphis Raines, a notorious car thief that retired a number of years back in an effort to go straight. And he does. Memphis is working at a little go-kart track for kids, teaching...

Junkie Xl aka Tom Holkenborg is perhaps best known for blockbuster work, breaking out with “Mad Max: Fury Road,” and making his mark on pictures like “Deadpool,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice,” and “Point Break.” But he takes a different turn with the upcoming western “Brimstone,” offering a different sound than you might be used to from the composer, who is releasing the soundtrack under his given name.

The cast of American Crime Story's third season is starting to take shape, and so far, it's good.  According to multiple reports, Darren Criss will be taking on the role of serial killer Andrew Cunanan, who was responsible for murdering fashion designer Gianni Versace outside his home in 1997. Edgar Ramirez (The Girl on the Train, Point Break, The Bourne Ultimatum), meanwhile, will be playing Versace himself.  The murder will be the subject of American Crime Story's third season, which will begin shooting next month and will alternate filming with the second season, focusing on the legal issues surrounding Hurricane Katrina. Both seasons will air next year. Versace will be based on the book...

Darren Criss is fast becoming TV’s go-to villain.

The Glee alum — who was recently cast as the Big Bad Music Meister in The CW’s two-part Supergirl/The Flash musical event — has signed on to star in FX’s forthcoming Versace-themed edition of American Crime Story as serial killer Andrew Cunnan.

Additionally, Venezuelan actor Edgar Ramirez (Point Break, Carlos) has been tapped to play Gianni Versace.

It was third time lucky when Mel Gibson signed on to Hacksaw Ridge in 2014, having been offered the film by producer Bill Mechanic twice before.

.I approached Mel in 2002, in 2010, and then again in 2014, which is the first time he said yes,. says Mechanic..

.He's the only one I approached twice. I guess in my mind he was always the perfect director for it. I just had to get it in his mind that he was the perfect director for it..

Before his third attempt, Mechanic brought on Randall Wallace, who wrote Braveheart, to take a pass at the script.

.Randall's changes were not earth shattering,. says Mechanic. .He won't be credited in the final screenplay. But I think it might have made it more appealing to Mel to read [that] Randy was working on it..

Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, as well as other cool events and things to check out.

This Past Weekend:

As per my Thursday update, M. Night Shyamalan’s thriller Split ended up winning the weekend but with way more than anyone, including myself, predicted, with more than $40 million for its opening weekend. That’s pretty impressive, and his first movie to open at that level since 2010’s The Last Airbender. Meanwhile, Vin Diesel’s sequel xXx: The Return of Xander Cage ended up making around where I predicted, taking second place with $20.1 million, not a great sign for the continuation of that franchise. Michael Keaton’s The Founder ended up right around where I predicted with $3.4 million, ending up just outside the Top 10. Hidden Figures, La La Land and Sing continued to do well with minimal drop-offs.

Edgar Ramirez calls himself "the hunky geologist" in Gold, the Weinstein Co. mining drama in which he teams with Matthew McConaughey to excavate the jungles of Indonesia for the titular metal.

But long before he played the mysterious therapist in The Girl on the Train, the boxing legend in Hands of Stone or the risky thrill-seeker in Point Break, the Venezuelan actor pursued political journalism and hoped to become a diplomat. Though he has no regrets — "I have an amazing platform as an actor to try to help as much as I can," he said — politics remains...

In 1993, a Filipino prospector named Michael de Guzman emerged from the jungles of Busang, Indonesia claiming to have found one of the largest gold deposits on record — he partnered with a Canadian conglomerate called Bre-x Minerals Ltd., and eventually took the fall for the most famous gold mining scandal of the late 20th century.

In 2011, screenwriters Patrick Massett and John Zinman (“Lara Croft: Tomb Raider”) decided to take the Bre-x story, arbitrarily transplant it to the late 1980s, and re-conceive it as a trite rise and fall parable about the seduction of the American Dream — the result, ultimately directed without distinction by Stephen Gaghan (“Syriana”), unfolds like a chintzy ripoff of David O. Russell ripping off Martin Scorsese ripping off real life, a movie that tries to sell us the most boring version of a story that has already been panned for all of its treasure and then some.

Thanks to his role in Martin Scorsese’s immortal 1980 classic Raging Bull, Robert De Niro will forever be linked to the sport of boxing in the minds of moviegoers. For the last couple decades, the Oscar-winning actor has been heavily riffing on his past roles for comedic effect in releases like Analyze This, Meet the Parents and Grudge Match, all of which saw De Niro poke fun at his own tough-guy persona and the various archetypes he’s known for. Now he’s back in the world of boxing again – though with a decidedly more dramatic goal in mind – as a key supporting character in writer/director Jonathan Jakubowicz’s Hands of Stone.

The film stars Edgar Ramírez (Joy) as Panamanian boxer Roberto Durán, who rose to prominence in the early 1970s, but rather than focus solely on his rise and fall (and rise again), Hands of Stone also takes...

The Weinstein Company dropped the first teaser trailer for boxing biopic “Hands of Stone,” about one of the world’s most legendary fighters, Roberto Durán Samaniego. Edgar Ramirez (“Joy,” “Point Break”) stars as the Panamanian boxer, considered to be one of the greatest fighters to ever live, while Oscar-winning “Raging Bull” star Robert De Niro steps back into the ring as Duran’s coach. Durán enjoyed an unusually long career, starting his life in the ring at 16 years old in 1968, and retiring in 2002 at age 50.

Way back in November 2014, it was revealed that composer Hans Zimmer is teaming with Junkie Xl (a.k.a. Tom Holkenberg) to work on the score for Warner Bros.' Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Hans Zimmer will craft the theme for Superman (Henry Cavill), like he did in 2013's Man of Steel, with Junkie Xl working on a new Batman (Ben Affleck) theme. Earlier today, Water Tower Music released the Batman theme, entitled "Men Are Still Good (The Batman Suite), which you can listen to below.

Before taking on the job, Hans Zimmer admitted in September 2013 that he was unsure about taking on this job, because he didn't want to create new Batman music after working on Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy. Junkie Xl, a.k.a. Tom Holkenborg, most recently composed scores for Mad Max: Fury Road, Black Mass and Point Break, along with the upcoming Deadpool.

Director Ericson Core talks us through how he want about shooting his remake of Point Break...

As a cinematographer, Ericson Core filmed movies like The Fast and the Furious, Payback, and Daredevil. When he became a director on the true sports story Invincible, Core remained his own director of photography. So for his second film, Point Break, he was still the Dp. Point Break filmed in 11 different countries with athletes performing extreme stunts in the most extreme locations. Luke Bracy plays Johnny Utah, an FBI agent going undercover to root out an eco-terrorist. Bodhi (Edgar Ramirez) is still the leader of a group of athletes, but with more on their mind than robbing banks.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens continues to shatter box office records throughout its first week in theaters. Despite facing four new releases on the crowded Christmas holiday weekend, Director J.J. Abrams' sci-fi blockbuster faces four new releases opening on Christmas Day, Star Wars: The Force Awakens prevailed once again, taking in a massive $153.5 million in its second weekend in theaters. The blockbuster has set yet another record for highest second weekend, breaking Jurassic World's record set earlier this summer of $106.5 million. Star Wars: The Force Awakens also became the fastest movie to reach $1 billion worldwide, with $544.5 million domestic, $546 million international and $1.09 billion worldwide.

Of course, none of this weekend's new releases, came close to this sci-fi adventure. Sony's Concussion, 20th Century Fox's Joy, Warner Bros.' Point Break and Paramount's Daddy's Home opened this weekend, with the studio's The Big Short expanding nationwide on December 23. The Hateful Eight...

Warner Bros. Pictures delivered their new action/thriller movie, "Point Break," into theaters today, December 25th, 2015, and the reviews are in from just a few of the major, top movie critics. They ended up with a pretty mixed score of 45 out of a possible 100 across just 4 reviews at the Metacritic.com site. The film stars: Clemens Schick, Édgar Ramírez, Luke Bracey, Matias Padin, Ray Winstone and Teresa Palmer. We've added comments from a couple of the critics, below. Tom Russo from the Boston Globe, gave it a less than stellar 63 score, stating: "For all the adrenalizing positives in this reworked Point Break, inadvertent silliness remains." Elizabeth Kerr over at The Hollywood Reporter, gave it a 50 score. She said: "Ericson Core’s Point Break strips the silly fun and relatively straight-ahead narrative from the original for a humorless, if photogenic spin on extreme crime." James Marsh over at Screen International, gave it a 40 grade,...

One issue still plaguing the film industry remains the need for studios to remake classic properties.

The source of the online leak of Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight has been traced to an awards-season DVD screener that had been sent to a leading Hollywood studio executive.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the pirated version of The Hateful Eight available from some file-sharing sites bears a digital watermark that identifies it as a DVD sent to Andrew Kosove, co-ceo of Alcon Entertainment, a major production and finance outfit involved in films such as The 33, Transcendence and the recent remake of Point Break.

After shattering box office records left and right last weekend, Star Wars: The Force Awakens enters its second frame, poised to take even more records down. Director J.J. Abrams' sci-fi blockbuster faces four new releases opening on Christmas Day, Sony's Concussion, 20th Century Fox's Joy, Warner Bros.'

The Hateful Eight and The Revenant also debut in limited release, before expanding nationwide over the next few weeks. Do any of these newcomers stand a chance against the behemoth that is Star Wars: The Force Awakens? According to the projections at Pro.BoxOffice.com, the short answer is: no.

Last weekend, Star Wars: The Force Awakens shattered Jurassic World's opening weekend record of $208.8 million with a whopping $238 million. Star Wars: The Force Awakens also set new marks for highest Thursday preview gross with $57 million,...

After four weeks of box office domination by The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, Lionsgate's franchise finale has finally fallen, to what is now the biggest debut of all time by Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Box Office Mojo reports that Star Wars: The Force Awakens has taken in an estimated $238 million during its opening weekend, which is more than enough to dethrone Universal's Jurassic World record of $208.8 million which was set back in June.

The opening weekend record is just one of many box office records that Star Wars: The Force Awakens has already broken. Star Wars: The Force Awakens set new marks for highest Thursday preview gross with $57 million, the biggest Friday and single-day gross with $120.5 million, making it the first film ever to earn $100 million in a single day.
