Seems they’re ready to rock on that long-mooted “Point Break” sequel, with auditions underway in Bali to find ‘real deal’ Surfer Types to pack into background scenes.
Moviehole heard from one man, an Australian living in Kuta, who said he “filmed a video test down a camera. Just to had to tell them how long I’d been surfing for. They’re more interested in people that look good on boards than people than cat act”, he laughs. “You get asked whether you can ride a Jet-Ski too – which I think is for one of the big robbery scenes or something”.
They’ve also been looking at actresses for the female lead – that of Dalton’s love interest, Teela. Hawaiian Model Tracy Bautista, who had a recurring role in the “Fantasy Island” revamp a couple of years ago, is said to be one of the beauties under consideration for the part.
