It is confirmed that there will be a Point Break remake and fans of the iconic surfing movie can' wait to find out who will star in the new film. In the 1991 movie, Keanu Reeves became famous for his role as Johnny Utah whereas Patrick Swayze also gained his own cult followers as Bodhi.

Just recently, the producers announced that Gerard Butler will take the place of Swayze in the Point Break remake. Most people believe that the 300 actor can justify the role of Bodhi - having starred as a surfer in Chasing Mavericks two years ago. Butler even admitted doing most of the surfing in the movie except for the big waves during an interview with Collider.

Now who will star as the new Johnny Utah? Coming from down under is Luke Bracey, who is still making a name for himself in Hollywood. The 24-year old actor starred as Cobra Commander in the G.I. Joe: Retaliation last year. He also appeared in the romantic comedy Monte Carlo alongside rumored fling Selena Gomez.

The Aussie heartthrob was linked to the 21-year old singer early last year when she broke up with Justin Bieber. An insider revealed to Hollywood Life that Selena would call Luke when things weren't going well with her ex-boyfriend.

In a separate report made my US Weekly, Selena and Luke were seen holding hands during the Golden Globes party. The source said, "The pair was getting super close." She even shared her awful vacation experience with Justin in Mexico to the Aussie hottie. She said, "It was awful, we were fighting."

The Point Break remake will be a breakthrough role for Luke Bracey. This is the perfect opportunity for the young actor to shine. He doesn't have to hide behind the Cobra Commander mask or remain Selena Gomez's rebound. We may even be looking at the next Keanu Reeves. Do you think Luke Bracey is suited to play as Johnny Utah?
