Point Break actress Lori Petty says film is 'stupid'

Point Break actress Lori Petty has criticised the film's upcoming remake, branding the new movie "stupid".

Petty portrayed Keanu Reeves' onscreen girlfriend Tyler in the 1991 Kathryn Bigelow movie, and while she is not involved in the new remake, the actress is less than impressed with plans to bring the drama back to the big screen.

"I think it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Really? Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, Kathryn Bigelow - what are you gonna do? What are you thinking? Stupid!," Petty told The Hollywood Reporter.

"Somebody tweeted this really cute picture of me from the film, and it said, 'What's this pig board piece of s**t?' which is what I say to Keanu, but it was about the new movie. I'm like, 'Seconded'... I got a phone call from my manager: 'Why did you diss the new Point Break?' Because that's bulls**t! That's some stupid s**t right there!"

However, Petty added that she has not even seen the trailer for the reboot, saying she "can't do it."

The upcoming reboot stars Australian actor Luke Bracey as Reeves' character Johnny Utah, an undercover Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent trying to infiltrate a criminal surf gang.

The film also features Teresa Palmer, Ray Winstone and Edgar Ramirez, and is slated for a Christmas Day release.
