Via con dios.

My heart skipped a bit when I saw the headline that a local group will shoot Point Break 2 in SE Asia. The article reports that the sequel will be financed and executive produced by a Pore-based production company - and that a certain Pore regulatory authority would also finance the film.

Now, Point Break was a movie that espoused the philosophy of a human spirit which cannot exist within the structural and psychological rigidities of prevailing social systems - a concept anathema to the Pore. I dread to see how the nexus would be drawn between PB2 and the Pore's own cold and soulless objectives. Already it has been suggested that part of the movie would be shot in the Pore, to show the - get ready for it - vibrant landscape of SE Asia. Somebody's gotta justify the financing hey.

Filming starts in mid-2008 and it looks like we won't be seeing Johnny Utah again, although some sites have suggested that Bodhi will be making a comeback. I'll try to reserve any strong feelings until I've seen the movie.

Brah!
