Cannon, Beau Knapp, Darren Barnet, Dominique Columbus, Bob Menery, Catfish Jean, Kevin Carroll, Travis Van Winkle, and Hannah Lanier; the remake is directed by Doug Liman. The film is now set for a March 21st premiere date on Prime Video. Many thought it could see a release in theaters as well, but as of now, that is not the case. The film was first announced way back in 2022. A trailer seems imminent, but for now, take a look at the brand-new poster released this morning.
Road House Not In Theaters?
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. Directed by Doug Liman, screenplay by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry. Based on the motion picture "Road House" screenplay by David Lee Henry and Hilary Henkin. Story by Anthony Bagarozzi, Charles Mondry, and David Lee Henry. Produced by Joel Silver p.g.a., executive producers are JJ Hook, Alison Winter, Aaron Auch, and Audie Attar.
This remake was a big deal for a bit, as it marks the acting debut of Conor McGregor, and the UFC even had Gyllenhaal film his fight scenes in front of an actual fight crowd at UFC 285 last year. Since then, a lot has gone down in McGregor's life, and for some reason, Amazon has decided that they don't see a reason to release this into theaters for a bit. I think that is a mistake and that they should do a hybrid release like they did with Ben Affleck's Air last spring. Maybe once a trailer is out, the response will get them to change their mind.
No matter what, Road House will debut on Prime Video on March 21st.
