Guy Ritchie is set to direct the sequel to Amazon MGM's 2024 remake of "Road House," with Jake Gyllenhaal reprising his role as Elwood Dalton, the ex-UFC fighter turned bouncer. The sequel was confirmed in May of the previous year, following the successful release of the remake in March 2024, which garnered over 50 million views in its first two weekends on Prime, making it the studio's most-watched produced film debut at the time.
The original 2024 "Road House" was directed by Doug Liman, known for films like "The Bourne Identity," "Edge of Tomorrow," and "Swingers." However, Liman expressed dissatisfaction with the film's streaming release, 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." Despite this, Gyllenhaal clarified that Amazon had been upfront about the film being intended for streaming.
"Road House 2" will mark the third collaboration between Ritchie and Gyllenhaal, following their work together on the 2023 war film "Guy Ritchie's The Covenant" and the upcoming action thriller "In the Grey," which also stars Henry Cavill but has yet to receive a release date.
Details about "Road House 2" remain sparse, 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 continues to be busy, having directed multiple episodes of the newly launched Paramount+ series "MobLand," starring Tom Hardy, and his next film, "Fountain of Youth," is set to debut on Apple TV+ later this month.
