Back in the summer it was announced that Peter Iliff (Patriot Games) had signed on to write and direct a sequel to Point Break. It has now been announced that Point Break 2 will begin production in mid-2008 in Southeast Asia.
Iliff wrote the first movie, but the second film will see his directional debut with this $20-$30 million sequel.
Point Break 2 follows the story of an ex-pro surfer who enlists in the US Navy and is recruited to track down a criminal gang based in Southeast Asia. Patrick Swayze’s character Bodhi apparently didn’t die in the giant wave at the end of the first film - is he behind the new criminal gang? It’s unlikely that Keanu Reeves will be involved in the sequel.
It has been speculated that Point Break 2 was given the go ahead after Edgar Wright’s recent Hot Fuzz made the film a big focal point. I suspect this maybe the case.

HELLO!!!!! THEY CAN’T MAKE “POINT BREAK” II
WITHOUT KEANU—–WHO WOULD WATCH IT? DUH
POINT BREAK IS KEANU REEVES*********
If Keanu isn’t in it, it will be the Speed 2 debacle all over again. To avoid this, write a good script (before you go on strike) - One scenario: Bohdi didn’t die, and is susected to be the leader of the new crime spree in southeast Asia - enter Johnny Utah (NOBODY but Keanu), and everone will go see it. There is no point to it if Swayze & Reeves aren’t in it!
We have already learned from Speed 2 that a sequel without Keanu is going to be a BOMB
