Grab a Wave! BLUE CRUSH Sequel in the Works

Universal Studios is pushing ahead with plans to produce a sequel to their hit surfer chick film, Blue Crush, according to Production Weekly's Twitter feed.  Early plans are for shooting to begin in May in South Africa.

The original 2002 film was a breakout for star Kate Bosworth, featuring her and a couple of female pals(Michelle Rodriguez, Sanoe Lake) who run into obstacles while trying to achieve their dream of surfing at the famous Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii. The film was a surprise hit, earning nearly $52M worldwide.

I'm not gonna lie, I like Blue Crush a lot, and it still holds the record for most times I watched any movie in a single day. Once when I was laid up in the house sick I watched it 3 1/2 times on PPV. Of course I was too sick to reach the remote control which was across the room, but still. To this day it features some of the best surf photography of any non-documentary film I've seen. It was simply gorgeous to look at. I have a funny feeling this one will be straight to DVD, as it's highly unlikely the principle cast will return, but we'll see when more information is released.
