Prepare for Thrills: Road House Arrives on Prime Video March 21st!

Get ready to dive headfirst into the adrenaline-pumping universe of Road House. Renowned director Doug Liman, celebrated for his iconic works like The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Jumper, and Edge of Tomorrow, takes the reins of this ambitious project, breathing fresh life into the beloved cult classic and delivering a gripping reimagining of the iconic narrative. Scheduled to debut on Prime Video on March 21, this contemporary rendition of Road House promises an unforgettable cinematic journey.

Road House follows the exploits of Elwood Dalton, a former UFC fighter navigating the gritty realm of bouncing. Dalton’s past as a UFC fighter frequently pushes him towards violence as a means of conflict resolution. However, beneath his rugged exterior, he remains committed to dispensing justice to those in need, even if it means bending the rules.

With Liman’s penchant for anti-heroes, Dalton’s character shines through in his interpretation of Road House, infusing the narrative with depth and intricacy. Liman elaborates, “Here’s a guy who is so gentle and caring and, at the same time, so freaking lethal. He’s just a fantastic character.”

Jake Gyllenhaal’s portrayal of Dalton pays homage to Patrick Swayze’s original performance while adding his own distinctive flair. Reflecting on the role, Gyllenhaal remarks, “I was a huge Patrick Swayze fan since I was a kid. I had the honor of working with him on a film we did called Donnie Darko. I come from the school of theatre, where you play roles that other people have played. The way Patrick defined the role and the essence of what they did was really special. We got to take that essence and reimagine it for the time we live in, so it is very different. Defying expectations is something I love to do and that, to me, is what Doug does best.”

But the allure of Road House extends beyond its cast and director. The film boasts a dynamic soundtrack curated by composer Christophe Beck and music supervisor Randy Poster. From Breland’s energetic fusion of country and hip-hop to Jelly Joseph’s soulful island melodies, the music of Road House sets the tone for each thrilling moment, enriching the viewing experience and immersing audiences in the film’s world.

Shot against the breathtaking backdrop of the Dominican Republic, Road House offers a visual spectacle. Director Doug Liman and his team spared no expense in bringing the world of Road House to life, from the meticulously crafted roadhouse set to the vibrant costumes designed by Dayna Pink. Actress Jessica Williams, who plays a pivotal role in the movie, marvels at the immersive production design, noting, “The production design was jaw-dropping.”

Prepare yourself for an action-packed retelling of Road House on Prime Video. Liman’s daring remake promises to captivate audiences with thrilling action, compelling characters, and a fresh perspective on a cherished classic.
