Guy Ritchie (Snatch) is set to direct the sequel to Road House starring Jake Gyllenhaal, who will reprise his role as ex-UFC fighter Dalton. Road House 2 will be their third collaboration and the second for Amazon MGM Studios. Will Beall (Bad Boys: Ride Or Die) is penning the script, while details remain undisclosed. The reboot follows Dalton as a bar bouncer facing off against outlaws and a wealthy developer. The original film debuted successfully on Prime Video, leading to a sequel announcement. Ritchie replaces director Doug Liman, who expressed concerns about the streaming release strategy for the franchise, which did not include a wide theatrical release. (Variety)
