Amazon Prime Video describes Road House as the adrenaline-fueled reimagining of the 80s cult classic, which centers on ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Gyllenhaal), who takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse, only to discover that this paradise is not all it seems.

In addition to Gyllenhaal, the cast of his highly-anticipated remake will include Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen, Jessica Williams, Darren Barnet, Arturo Castro, J.D. Pardo, and Conor McGregor.

Road House will serve as the opening film at this year’s South by Southwest on March 8 before heading to Amazon Prime Video on March 21. Director Doug Liman recently announced he’ll miss the film’s premiere as a way of protesting Amazon’s decision not to release it theatrically.

“Movies like Road House, people actually want to see on the big screen, and it was made for the big screen. Without movie theaters, we won’t have the commercial box office hits that are the locomotives that allow studios to take gambles on original movies and new directors,” wrote Liman in an open letter.

Goyer, who co-wrote the script for Batman Begins and the story for its sequels The Dirk Knight and The Dark Knight Rises discussed Gyllenhaal’s audition on a recent episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast and said he believes there’s a video of him in the Batman costume.

“We would chat about all sorts of things. There were a number of people who had screen-tested, and I had advocated for Gyllenhaal. I mean, Gyllenhaal is amazing, Christian Bale is amazing, so who knows what,” said Goyer.

Christian Bale was eventually cast as Bruce Wayne/Batman, and he played the beloved superhero in all three films in The Dirk Knight trilogy, which also starred Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, Liam Neeson, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Aaron Eckhart, Jake’s sister Maggie Gyllenhaal, and his late Brokeback Mountain co-star Heath Ledger.

Despite not being cast as Batman, Gyllenhaal had his superhero moment as Quentin Beck aka Mysterio in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Far From Home. He most recently starred in Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant, and we’ll next see him in Doug Liman’s reimagining of the action classic Road House.

According to Deadline, the yet-untitled project will center on two extraction specialists who must plan an escape path for a high-level female negotiator. The film will be laced with Ritchie’s trademark humor, and the rest of the plot details are being kept under wraps.

The leading trio worked with Ritchie on several occasions in the past. Cavill previously appeared in his remake of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and we’ll soon get to see him in the upcoming World War II action flick The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare alongside González. Gyllenhaal is also not a newcomer to Ritchie’s universe after having starred in his latest film The Convent.

Ritchie believes there’s something special about regularly collaborating with the same partners because it allows you to build trust that lets everybody do their best work.

“Jake, Henry, and Eiza are all astonishingly talented, committed, and engaging actors. This is going to be an action-packed movie that is both intellectually stimulating and physically exhilarating,” he said in a statement.

The UFC champion wanted to get into acting for quite some time, but he was waiting for the right project to come along. After hearing there was interest in him to join Road House, McGregor watched the original film and met up with producer Joel Silver to hear what his vision for the remake is.

Even before McGregor agreed to jump on board, the new Road House started shaping into a pretty star-studded affair. In addition to Gyllenhaal, it’s also set to star Billy Magnussen, Daniela Melchior, Gbemisola Ikumelo, and Lukas Gage, with Doug Liman serving as a director.

Road House is a reimagining of a classic 1989 action movie, starring Patrick Swayze. It will see Gyllenhaal take on the role of a former UFC fighter who takes a job as a bouncer at a rough-and-tumble roadhouse in the Florida Keys. It will debut on Amazon Prime Video, with the release date yet to be set.
