Rhodody Herrington's Road House, Rhodes House has an interesting pop cultural trip. When it hit the theaters 36 years ago, the incredible story of Dalton (Patrick Wwezce), the very requested bounce (with a Bachelor of Philosophy of Uuyork), which is recruited to clean up the once-successful Missouri salon, which has become a "kind of" sort of eyes ". Roger Ebert understood (Although he didn't have the courage to declare it in a masterpiece, I believe he knew in his heart), but his colleagues broke the film into pieces to be almost everything that does great: silly, tumultuous and free. If they were not expecting to offend their intelligence, they would notice that it was written by Hillary Jenkin and David Lee Henry and fiercely well -focused.

Decades Later, People Possessed of Supreme Discernment Now Recognize that Herrington's "Road House" is a sui generis action classic: A StirRRING REMINDER OF A Time When Hollywood Served Up Red-Meat Cinema That Showcased the Dream Factory's Pre-CG Facility for Crafting Cinematic Sensations Stuffed with Breattaking Practical Stunts, Bone-Snapping Brawls and Wildly Unnecessary (Yet Inexplicably Essential) Sex. They really don't do this anymore.

Case in point: Road House remake of Doug Liman in 2024. Akeeke Gyllenhal was not anyone's ideal replacement for Swezze, but he can play hell from an attractive golf and pack the muscles when the role calls it (eg "Southpav"). With wit Jane Black Associates Anthony Bargarosi and Charles Mondray on the ship as writers, and Liman's ability to make an anxious entertaining action movie ("Edge of Tomorrow"), this station in "Road House" had potential. Instead, they made a brutally unpleasant film that raised Dalton as a psychopath for hair activation. It's a shocking middle film.

However, Liman's film performed well enough for Amazon MGM's studies to create a sequel. We do not know much of this early date in its development, but we can say for sure that Liman will not return to the director's chair.

Mr. Akeeke Gyllenhal will reject once again to play Elwood Dalton, a former UC squad, who after killing an opponent (his friend!) In the ring, he finds a new, potentially killing line of work as a bar in Florida Keys. Gilenhal seemed pretty proud of his work in this film (and gave a play that perfectly caught the unpleasant, insincere intent of writers), so if you dig his Dalton, you can expect more than the wicked same.

Unless the next film takes a supernatural turnaround, we definitely saw the last of Billy Magnusen's crime chief, Ben Brand, who broke his neck of hired Gonno Knox (Connor McGregor). As for the UC Starvers, McGregor, the sequence of the film's middle loans revealed that Knox miraculously survived to be stabbed, many times by Dalton. If you are aware of The history of McGregor's alleged attackSexual assault and burned statements, you probably hope he stayed out of the sequel. Unfortunately, since he is an incredibly effective villain in the first film, it is difficult to imagine that Amazon MGM studies are not returned for a rematch with Gilenhal's Dalton.

Also, there is still no word for Daniela Melchior, who played the Love -Board of Dalton, Eli or the rest of the cast that survived the first film. That brings us to the next question.

To reasonably discuss the narrative direction of a moody film, it is necessary to have at least a premise and, not to be greedy, to understand who writes the job. Amazon MGM Studios has yet to provide information to the former but, According to Matthew Belloni on PAKThe sequel to the "road house" will be written by Will Bill.

I am in the fear of Whether Bill's career career will be. The former LapD detective wrote the well-valued policeman, called "La Rex", who has soon covered a powerful, now shy producer Scott Rudin-Go inserted into Warner Bros.'s warm embrace. Blockbuster Apple hires him to work on Justice League and Aquaman.

Not all bad with white! He has loans to the scenario of the tumultuous entertaining (and surprising cordial) duo of "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" and "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F." If he can make a stormy and hearty, he can hope to make a "road house" sequel that will be more in line with the Zweze model. This, of course, will depend on who directs the film - and good luck predicting what this man will do from the material.

Belloni also reports that Guy Richie is in talks to direct the Road House sequel. Once (properly) was considered a precisely talented crime author, Richie turned into a stylist for a rental studio before deciding that he could work quickly on his own conditions (and attract a series of stars to join the flying party). While I think Richie was sacrificing some degree of technical Polish to become a director of combustion and combustion, the films were mostly good! Rips 'Anger of Man'"Operation Fortune: Ruse de Gurre" is a silly pleasure and the "Ministry of Non -intensive war" is a national tire.

"Road House" is Gilenhal's franchise, but Richie is pro-friendly and film-friendly (as proved by his two films "Sherlock Holmes" led by Robert Downey Runior). He is more than capable of stepping up in his new quick approach and turning into skillful action film, to His madly underestimated "Uncle Man" His aesthetic "man's anger" can work best here, but I would not dare advise this man on how to make a movie. He is one of the best shapers of shapes that work today, and if Bill's script is not anti-human, he can deliver a "road house" worthy of St. Patrick.

We should probably allow Richie to finalize the deal with Amazon MGM Studios before we start speculating on the date of announcing the "Road House", but if that deal is earned quickly, the 2026 debut is totally feasible. An interesting wrinkle here is that, according to Bellon, this film could be a theater release. It would certainly be a limen, who was furious that the company sent its remake to streaming. I'm not sure Richie would take care of one way or another about how his sequel to the "road house" was exposed, but such a move would probably end Amazon's relationship with Liman (who has strong ties with Tom Cruise).

Fortunately, for a mega-corporation like Amazon, the pain doesn't hurt.
