Ray Winstone

Ray Winstone has joined the cast of the remake of Point Break.

Point Break was originally released back in 1991, starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves, and directed by Kathryn Bigelow.

But now Ericson Core is in the director's chair, and the movie is set for a 2015 released.

According to Variey.com, Winstone has landed the role of Luke Bracey's partner, Agent Angelo Pappas, which Gary Busey famously played in the 1991 original.

Bracey will take on the role of FBI agent Johnny Utah and join Gerard Butler who has been cast as Bodhi - roles which were previously played by Keanu Reeves and the late Patrick Swayze respectively.

Butler is an established star, while Bracey has been making the transition from TV to film in the last few years: he made his name in Home and Away.

Point Break will also only be the second big screen feature for Core; he made his debut with Invincible back in 2006.

Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove are producing with John Baldecchi, Chris Taylor and Wimmer.

As for Winstone, he returned to the big screen this weekend in Noah - a film that has already topped the U.S. box office.

He has also completed work on Zipper and The Gunman.

Point Break will be released next year.
