Jake Gyllenhaal as a UFC fighter
Jake Gyllenhaal will play a UFC fighter who becomes a bouncer in the remake of the film Road House (1989).

The 41-year-old actor will play the main character, who was played at the time by the late Patrick Swayze.

Jake Gyllenhaal will play the starring role in this Amazon Prime Video film, which will be directed by Doug Liman. In addition to Gyllenhaal, the cast will includeBilly Magnussen, Daniela Melchior, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Lukas Gage, Hannah Love Lanier, Travis Van Winkle, B.K. Cannon, Arturo Castro, Dominique Columbus, Beau Knapp and Bob Menery.

According to leaked information, Gyllenhaal will play a former UFC fighter who becomes a bouncer at a very corrosive bar called the Road House, located in Florida. The main character will quickly realize that this world is far from being a tropical paradise.

Several individuals involved indicate that this version will be a surefire home run:

“Not only is it a nod to the fans of the original, but it’s also a big, fun, wide-audience film. We’re thrilled to collaborate with Joel, Doug and this great cast led by Jake Gyllenhaal, and then bring them together to reinvent this classic film as an action-packed adventure for our global audience,”said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios

The beloved legacy of Road House will be well captured as the director and producer believe they have selected the perfect actor for this iconic role.

Road House will air on Prime Video.
