What is the Road House remake about?
Directed by The Bourne Identity and Edge of Tomorrow filmmaker Doug Liman, the remake to the 1989 cult hit will see Gyllenhaal as a former UFC fighter who just landed a new job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys bar. However, he will soon find out that the tropical paradise where he works is not what it appears to be.

In addition to Gyllenhaal and McGregor, the upcoming film will also star Daniela Melchior as Elwood Dalton’s love interest, Ellie, and Billy Magnussen as the film’s villain, Brandt. The rest of the cast includes Darren Barnett, Lukas Gage, Joaquim de Almedia, Beau Knapp, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Kevin Carroll, J.D.
