In the highly anticipated film Road House, directed by the acclaimed Doug Liman and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, audiences are in for a wild ride as the classic 1989 cult favourite gets a modern-day makeover. Gyllenhaal takes on the role of Dalton, a skilled UFC fighter and mysterious bouncer tasked with restoring order to a chaotic Florida roadside bar. Liman, known for his dynamic and visually striking direction in films such as Edge of Tomorrow and The Bourne Identity, brings his signature style to “Road House,” infusing the narrative with edge-of-your-seat action sequences and a fresh perspective on the beloved story.

Set to premiere at SXSW 2024, “Road House” promises not only a thrilling and adrenaline-fueled experience but also a nuanced exploration of Jake Gyllenhaal’s character as he confronts the complexities of his past and the challenges of maintaining control in a volatile environment. Liman’s directorial prowess, combined with Gyllenhaal’s charismatic performance, ensures that this rendition of “Road House” will be a standout feature at the festival, captivating audiences with its intense action, compelling storytelling, and a modern sensibility that pays homage to the original while pushing the boundaries of the genre. FERNTV is looking forward to this film, including iconic UFC fighter Conor McGregor.

Road House will premiere at the Paramount Theatre at SXSW on March 8th, 2023
