May 15 2007Point Break 2: Search for Asian Swayze and Reeves
"Hey Bodhi, check it out: I'm doing an impression of your career."
That's right, I said Point Break 2. No doubt inspired by Hot Fuzz's Point Break tribute, Peter Iliff (Patriot Games) will write and direct the sequel, which will be set in Southeast Asia and financed by...Asians. And it will star...Asians.
RGM's CEO Devesh Chetty said casting will include English-language and Asian male leads and Asian female love interest.
"It is really important that this film stands on its own two feet and we will be looking for a young male action star at the same stage in his career as Keanu (Reeves) was," Chetty said.
Asian Keanu Reeves, Asian Keanu Reeves...Might I suggest...Tony Jaa? Too talented?
Honestly, I just said that so I'd have an excuse to post the elephant throwing clip from The Protector. Epic.

Gah! Point Break 2, like the world needs another one, but seriously Hot Fuzz is THE BEST comedy movie ever!

Not even a Keanu cameo? It's a little weird that their looking for an "Asian Keanu Reeves" when Keanu Reeves is Asian. I guess hapas don't count? At least there's great surfing in Southeast Asia.
And yes, Hot Fuzz is definitely the BEST comedy ever.

That's funny since I'm pretty sure Keanu Reeves IS asian. At least partially.
