He is approached by Frankie, the owner of an unruly roadhouse in the Florida Keys community of Glass Key, who offers him a job as head bouncer. Initially hesitant, Dalton takes up the offer after narrowly averting a suicide attempt with a freight train that destroys his car. He takes a bus to Frankie's establishment, called simply The Road House, and befriends Charlie, a teenager who runs a bookstore with her father, Stephen. Rogers,” one character says, but he will “beat the living shit out you,” unlike the children’s TV-show star.

Before said beatings, he asks if they have dental insurance or know of a decent hospital nearby. Jessica Williams peeps his expertise and hires the former fighter to bounce her bar in the Keys.

Notable LA chef Ludo Lefebvre, who operates Petit Trois in Hollywood and Sherman Oaks, has been on an expansion tear lately. After opening Chez Maggy in Denver, the chef is opening a restaurant called Delphine at Costa Palmas, a 1,500-acre resort community in Los Cabos, Baja California, set to open this summer. Expect French Riviera vibes with diners sitting almost right up on the beach. Lefebvre hopes to use local seafood from the Sea of Cortez through dishes that evoke the south of France.

Is there a trailer for the Road House movie remake?

But it is rendered with such obvious affection and steadfast devotion by Swayze and everyone involved (particularly the rarely better Sam Elliott), it's all but impossible not to be won over by its charms. It remains to be seen how much of that original plot the reboot might include, but if it stays true enough to the original concept, the new "Road House" flick will undoubtedly prove every bit as fun. And I can’t wait to show audiences what Jake and I are going to do with this iconic role,” Liman said. Liman is directing this new film from a script by Anthony Bagarozzi (“The Nice Guys”) and Charles Mondry. Joel Silver, who produced the original film, is producing for his company, Silver Pictures. Terrell Smith has a diverse writing background having penned material for a wide array of clients including the federal government and Bravo television personalities.

As Frankie and Stephen begin to rebuild, Charlie says goodbye to Dalton as he waits for his bus out of town. Stephen discovers Dalton has left them the trunk of cash as the bus pulls away. In a mid-credits scene, Knox has survived and assaults the hospital staff, leaving in his gown. Doug Liman will direct the film from a script by The Nice Guys writer Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry.

Although Emmett is saved, the enraged Dalton fights Reno and rips his throat out, much to Elizabeth's shock and disgust. The film’s cast was already going to get plenty of eyeballs, but the addition of McGregor only helps that given the global reach he has over the years of headlining major UFC PPV events, and its expected those fans will tune in for this as well. Doug Liman is directing from a script written by Anthony Bagarozzi & Charles Mondry. While the original saw Swayze's professional bouncer take up a job in Missouri, Gyllenhaal's Dalton background is as an ex-UFC fighter who has seen better days. Joining Gyllenhaal in his Florida Man transformation are Jessica Williams, Billy Magnussen, Daniela Melchior, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Lukas Gage, Arturo Castro, Dominique Columbus, and more.

Conor McGregor Reveals Why He Chose Road House for His Movie Debut: 'I'm Not an Actor, but I'm Show Business'.

The original cast was filled to the brim with ‘80s stars like Patrick Swayze, Kelly Lynch, Sam Elliott, and Keith David, as well as wrestler-turned-actor Terry Funk as one of Brad Wesley’s (Ben Gazzara) numerous henchmen. It hasn’t been revealed if any of the surviving actors from Rowdy Herrington’s action film will show up for the remake, but this new version of Road House has a cast that’s nothing to laugh at. Jeff Mastro is the founder of Steak 48, and he's staked (no pun intended) his reputation on his restaurants. He takes things very seriously, and that means his Steak 48 is one of the steakhouses that has vowed never to use frozen steaks. They're also leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the pack when it comes to sheer luxury. When they opened their Charlotte location in 2020, it was an $8 million investment and led to the creation of 250 jobs.

Road House (Jake G.’s Version) promises an “adrenaline-fueled reimagining of the ’80s cult classic.” There was a previously announced Road House remake starring Ronda Rousey as Dalton’s role. However, that reboot was confirmed to be canned when rumors of the Gyllenhaal film first surfaced. At the time, Hilario also noted that it was the biggest growth surge they'd ever seen. Fast forward to 2023, and they announced that a new Kona was going to be opening about every 4 to 6 weeks, while STK was making well above projected earnings. By the end of the year, STK was open in Salt Lake City and Charlotte, North Carolina, and plans were in the works for locations in Washington, D.C. They had plans to raise their numbers from 23 locations globally in 2021 to somewhere in the neighborhood of 200.

In fact, the studio was eyeing a gender-swapped version of the film a few years back as a vehicle for Olympic medalist, MMA champion, and professional wrestler Ronda Rousey. That version of the film never really took shape, however, and the current iteration looks to be a more straightforward remake of the original. While the film is likely a long ways from heading before cameras, it seems MGM is hot to get the production off the ground.

No, not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because Gyllenhaal will star in the reimagined take on the rowdy and rustic film Road House for Prime Video. Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry (Play Dirty and Doc Savage) wrote the script. Measuring the growth of a restaurant like LongHorn Steakhouse is a little more difficult. It's owned by Darden Restaurants, the same parent company that oversees Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze, and Yard House — to the tune of managing around 1,890 restaurants.

So much so, they're now meeting with writers to touch up a screenplay previously written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry. The original film was released in 1989, and proved a modest box office hit for Swayze (per Box Office Mojo). In the years since its release, however, "Road House" has become revered as a staple of the era as fans young and old continue to revel in its absurdist B-movie charms, with studio bosses no doubt looking to capitalize on its enduring popularity. At present, there aren't many concrete details surrounding the "Road House" reboot, but a few juicy nuggets are being dangled about the project.

The 2020s have been a weird time, and it's probably always going to be remembered that way. It kicked off with a nightmare that came to life, and things changed in all kinds of ways when the pandemic hit. Countless restaurants went out of business during the COVID-19 lockdown, which put more pressure on an already competitive, cutthroat, and often oh-so-precarious industry. COVID changed the fine dining industry in some big ways, but if there's anything that can be said about Americans, it's that they're resilient. Fast forward a few years, and while the effects can still be felt, some places — including steakhouse chains — are bouncing back in big ways.
