Trailer for Jake Gyllenhaal's Road House out

Recently we reported that Prime Video announced that Jake Gyllenhaal's upcoming Road House will premiere on March 21. Following the announcement, the streamer released the film's trailer on Friday. Directed by Doug Liman, this movie is a remake of the 1989 film of the same name.

The official synopsis of Road House reads, "In this adrenaline-fueled reimagining of the 80s cult classic, ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal) takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse, only to discover that this paradise is not all it seems." The trailer shows Jake throwing punches as he fully convinces us that he is Elwood Dalton. 

With the script by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry, Road House was green-lit in August 2022. The film also stars Jessica Williams, Billy Magnussen, Daniela Melchior, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Lukas Gage, and Hannah Love Lanier, among others. Champion boxer Conor McGregor will also make an appearance in the film, marking his debut film role.

The film has been caught amidst controversy as Doug Liman said he is boycotting the premiere of the film after Amazon refused to give the film a theatrical release. “Amazon asked me and the film community to trust them and their public statements about supporting cinemas, and then they turned around and are using Road House to sell plumbing fixtures,” he said to Deadline.
