Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze are surfing back to the big screen in celebration of “Point Break‘s” 35th anniversary.
A new 4k restoration will be released by Resurgence Media Group, Saga Arts and Fathom Entertainment. The film will hit theaters on Aug. 16 and 19.
I can’t imagine many people asked for this.
I prefer this form of nostalgia farming rather than releasing dog shit remakes
I wasn’t even aware Swazye was still alive
He died in 2009, I’m afraid.
As in point break in particular? You’d be surprised. It’s got a fairly good cult status, and cult movie fans love theater showings. Go check out a rocky horror screening for the extreme end of why it’s a great thing to do screenings.
Point break has enough of a following that I suspect it can both draw butts into seats and keep the theaters in good profit for those shows. I don’t know if it could match something like fight club or Lebowski in terms of numbers willing to go to a theater for this kind of thing, and I seriously doubt it’ll get close to Rocky horror numbers at all. But it could be fun
