Jake Gyllenhaal Remakes the Cult Classic

I can not conceive of a film that’s extra ’80s than Road House. Patrick Swayze at his most magnetic and muscly enjoying a “cooler” — principally a really fancy, very elite bouncer, who arrives in a bit city in Missouri to scrub up a rowdy bar referred to as the Double Deuce, and will get blended up with an area evil businessman. (Ben Gazzara!)

As foolish because it sounds on paper, it’s even extra baffling in execution.

Although largely considered a ridiculous flop in its day, the film progressively discovered an appreciative viewers on video and cable, who admired the film for its Road House-ness; there by no means has been a movie fairly prefer it.

And I’d have thought there would by no means be one other one prefer it once more — however someway, there may be now a Road House remake. And it’s occurred with Jake Gyllenhaal assuming the Patrick Swayze position. The new model of the movie, directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow), premieres on streaming in simply a few months. What a world.

And right here is the first poster, which contains a shredded Gyllenhaal and the traditional neon Road House emblem.
