The Big Picture

  • Jake Gyllenhaal is taking on the lead role in the highly anticipated remake of the '80s classic action movie Road House, alongside Conor McGregor in an undisclosed role.
  • The studio decided to release the film on Prime Video instead of theaters, possibly due to the firing of previous producer Joel Silver amid reports of verbally abusive misconduct.
  • Gyllenhaal is no stranger to intense physical transformations for his roles, having put on 15lbs of muscle for his portrayal of a champion boxer in Southpaw and undergoing rigorous training for other fast-paced projects.
