Jake Gyllenhaal Looks Ripped While Filming Road House Remake
The 1989 classic Road House will have a new version with Jake Gyllenhaal and UFC fighter Conor McGregor as its main stars. The film, directed by Doug Liman, who was in charge of The Bourne Identity, has already begun shooting, and both stars are ready for action.
In the film, Gyllenhaal will play a former UFC fighter who takes the job of a bouncer at a bar in Florida. Therefore, the actor had to get back into shape, similar to how he did for Southpaw, where he played a boxer. And he seems to be doing very well with the training.
As filming continues, Jake and Conor crashed the UFC 285 weigh-in Friday at T-Mobile Arena. Gyllenhaal stood face to face with former UFC fighter Jay Heiron and slapped him in the face before getting split up:\
For McGregor, this will mark his debut as an actor, joining some other famous fighters (WWE), such as Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and Dave Bautista, who all have become big movie stars after retiring from the ring.
They’ll be joined by Billy Magnussen (No Time to Die), Daniela Melchior (The Suicide Squad), Gbemisola Ikumelo (A League of Their Own), Lukas Gage (The White Lotus), Hannah Love Lanier (A Black Lady Sketch Show), Travis Van Winkle (You), B.K. Cannon (Why Women Kill), Arturo Castro (Broad City), Dominique Columbus (Ray Donovan), Beau Knapp (Seven Seconds), and Bob Menery (Billions).\
In the original film, Dalton (Patrick Swayze) is a Ph.D. but works as a nightclub security guard in a New York bar, as the job is highly paid. One day he is offered a job at a hostess bar in Jasper, Missouri, so he accepts the position with the intention of cleaning up the local thugs. However, when he arrives, he is introduced to Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara), the most powerful and influential person in town.
On his first night on the job, he gets two employees fired for dealing drugs. The first is Pat, a waiter who is also Wesley’s nephew, and the second, Morgan, is one of the local doormen. Unfortunately, Dalton has just gotten into a lot of trouble as these criminals, supported by the dangerous Wesley and his gang, will take revenge on the protagonist.
