"Guy Ritchie Directs Jake Gyllenhaal in Road House Sequel"
Guy Ritchie is set to direct the sequel to Amazon MGM's 2024 Road House remake, according to Variety. The follow-up will see Jake Gyllenhaal reprise his role as Elwood Dalton, the ex-UFC fighter turned bouncer. A sequel featuring Gyllenhaal was confirmed in May last year, shortly after the successful March 2024 release of the remake. Road House garnered over 50 million views in its first two weekends on Prime, making it Amazon MGM Studios' most-watched produced film debut globally at the time.
The 2024 Road House was directed by Doug Liman, known for films like The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow, and Swingers. However, Liman seemed unlikely to return for the sequel after criticizing the film's streaming release. He expressed his frustration, stating, "My issue on Road House is that we made the movie for MGM to be in theaters, everyone was paid as if it was going to be in theaters, and then Amazon switched it on us and nobody got compensated. Forget about the effect on the industry — 50 million people saw Road House — I didn’t get a cent, Jake Gyllenhaal didn’t get a cent, [producer] Joel Silver didn’t get a cent. That’s wrong." In contrast, Gyllenhaal mentioned that Amazon had been clear from the start that Road House was intended for streaming.
Road House 2 will mark the third collaboration between Ritchie and Gyllenhaal, following their work on the 2023 war film Guy Ritchie's The Covenant for Amazon MGM, which was well-received despite its awkward title. They are also teaming up for the upcoming action thriller In the Grey, which also stars Henry Cavill, though it currently has no set release date.
Details about Road House 2 are limited, but the screenplay is being penned by Will Beall, known for his work on Gangster Squad, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, and Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.
Guy Ritchie remains busy, having directed multiple episodes of the newly launched Paramount+ series MobLand, starring Tom Hardy. His next film, Fountain of Youth, is set to premiere on Apple TV+ later this month.
