A New Take on a Classic Film

The first official trailer for Prime Video's 'Road House' is here, showcasing a modern take on the beloved 1989 film. In this remake, the story is moved from Missouri to Florida, with Jake Gyllenhaal taking on the lead role of Edward Dalton. Dalton, an ex-UFC fighter, finds himself in charge of keeping the rowdy clientele of a Florida Keys roadhouse under control.

The trailer introduces Gyllenhaal's Dalton as someone who may seem harmless at first, but quickly reveals his true nature as a formidable force. One character in the clip remarks, "He acts all nice and shit, like he's Mister Rogers or something. But then he beats the living shit out of you."

Another exciting addition to the cast is real-life ex-UFC fighter Conor McGregor, who plays one of Dalton's main opponents in the film. Dalton and McGregor's character are on opposite sides, with Dalton determined to safeguard the roadhouse and its owner, while McGregor's character aims to help take control of it.

An Intense Battle

The trailer hints at the intense action and conflict that awaits viewers in 'Road House'. As Dalton explores his new surroundings, he remarks, "People seem a little aggressive around here." It's clear that he will face numerous challenges in his mission to maintain order and protect what matters most.

Directed by Doug Liman, the film stays true to the original screenplay written by David Lee Henry and Hilary Henkin. Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry have adapted the screenplay for this remake. Alongside Gyllenhaal and McGregor, the cast includes Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen, Jessica Williams, Joaquim de Almeida, and more talented actors.

Fans of the 1989 film and action movie enthusiasts alike can look forward to the release of 'Road House', which will first debut at South by Southwest before becoming available to stream on Prime Video starting March 21.
