POINT BREAK Remake Tries To Justify Its Existence With Extreme Sports Featurette

I'm a massive fan of Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 film Point Break, and though I'm not completely opposed to remakes — John Carpenter's The Thing was a remake, after all — the new Point Break that's coming out later this year looks pretty awful.

Warner Bros. has released a new featurette that attempts to justify the film's existence by talking about how it's going to increase the scale of the movie and include more extreme sports this time around, but I'm not sure that's going to be enough to have it stand out in any sort of meaningful way. I hope the film ends up being good (as I do with every movie I see), but as of right now, I'm not setting my expectations very high for this one.

Point Break stars Luke Bracey, Edgar Ramirez, Ray Winstone, Teresa Palmer, and Delroy Lindo, and it arrives in theaters on Christmas Day. There's a bunch of new footage in this featurette, which you can check out below:
