Guy Ritchie is set to direct the sequel to Amazon MGM's 2024 Road House remake, with Jake Gyllenhaal reprising his role as Elwood Dalton, the ex-UFC fighter turned bouncer. The sequel was confirmed in May of the previous year, following the successful release of the remake in March 2024, which garnered over 50 million views in its first two weekends on Prime. This made it Amazon MGM Studios' most-watched produced film debut globally at the time.
The original 2024 Road House was directed by Doug Liman, known for films like The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow, and Swingers. However, Liman expressed his disappointment with the film's streaming release, stating, "My issue on Road House is that we made the movie for MGM to be in theaters, everyone was paid as if it was going to be in theaters, and then Amazon switched it on us and nobody got compensated. Forget about the effect on the industry — 50 million people saw Road House — I didn’t get a cent, Jake Gyllenhaal didn’t get a cent, [producer] Joel Silver didn’t get a cent. That’s wrong." In contrast, Gyllenhaal mentioned that Amazon had been clear from the start that Road House was intended for streaming.
Road House 2 will be the third collaboration between Ritchie and Gyllenhaal, following their work on the 2023 war film Guy Ritchie's The Covenant and the upcoming action thriller In the Grey, which also stars Henry Cavill but has no set release date yet.
Details about Road House 2 are limited, but the screenplay is being penned by Will Beall, who has worked on films such as Gangster Squad, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, and Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.
Guy Ritchie remains busy, having recently directed multiple episodes of the Paramount+ series MobLand, featuring Tom Hardy, and with his next film, Fountain of Youth, set to premiere on Apple TV+ later this month.
