The producers of the planned Point Break sequel are refusing to take no for an answer from the original film's star Patrick Swayze. The cancer-stricken Ghost star recently insisted he would not be part of a sequel to the cult 1991 surf movie, but the producers of the new film desperately want him to change his mind.

A source close to the executives behind Point Break: Indo tells Life & Style magazine, "The producers are trying to figure out a way - any way - to get Patrick in the movie. One day, two days, a week of shooting - whatever they can get Patrick for, they'll make it work. He was so pivotal to the first movie."

And Swayze, who announced in March he's battling pancreatic cancer, will be part of the sequel whether he's actually in the film or not.

The insider adds, "There will be flashbacks and references to the old plot lines and characters. So, regardless, Patrick will be featured in the movie. It wouldn't be the same without him."
