Road House 2 remains an important priority for Amazon MGM Studios, and the plan is to keep this production on track to shoot in the fall. A search for a new director is underway, and sources say casting continues.
In Part 2, Gyllenhaal reprises his role as ex-UFC fighter Dalton from a script by Will Beall (Bad Boys: Ride or Die). Road House 2 is produced by Atlas Entertainment's Charles Roven and Alex Gartner, Gyllenhaal's Nine Stories Productions with Josh McLaughlin executive producing.
The Doug Liman-directed 2024 movie, which made its world premiere at SXSW, was a reboot of the cult 1989 film starring Patrick Swayze. In that pic, Gyllenhaal's Dalton takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse, only to discover that this paradise is not all it seems. Ben Gazzara, Kelly Lynch and Sam Elliott also starred.
Guardians of the Galaxy and Dune franchise actor Dave Bautista is circling a role in Road House 2.
Sherlock Homes and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels filmmaker Ritchie hit a high point at the global box office in 2019 with his live-action take on Disney animated classic Aladdin, starring Will Smith, which minted $1.05 billion.

Justin Bieber Insists He's Not ‘Walking Away' as He Sings About Relationship Struggles on New Album
Justin Bieber has just dropped his latest album, Swag, which features several songs about the highs and lows of relationships. The album, released on Friday, July 11, comes amid speculation from fans about the state of Justin's marriage to . (Justin wed Hailey in 2018, and the couple welcomed their first child, son Jack Blues, in August 2024.) Several songs on Swag feature lyrics about love as well as its struggles, and some appear to reference Hailey. The 10th track on the album, titled 'Walking Away,' contains lyrics hinting at tough times in a relationship. Hailey Bieber Supports Justin Bieber's New Album, Slams 'Losers' for Rumors of Marriage Woes 'So tell me why you're throwing stones at my back / You know I'm defenseless,' Justin, 31, sings. Later, he adds, 'And, girl, we better stop before we say some s*** / We've been testing our patience / I think we better off if we just take a break / And remember what grace is.' Despite singing about testing times, Justin suggests he is in the marriage for the long haul. 'Baby, I ain't walking away / You were my diamond / Gave you a ring / I made you a promise,' he sings. 'I told you I'd change / It's just human nature / These growing pains / And baby, I ain't walking away.' In another part of the song, Justin appears to acknowledge issues in a relationship before doubling down on his earlier sentiments. 'I know we have this moment to face,' he sings. 'Baby, I ain't walking away.' Meanwhile, in 'Go Baby,' another track on the album, Justin references Hailey as he sings the line, 'That's my baby / She's iconic / iPhone case / Lip gloss on it.' Hailey is the founder of beauty brand Rhode, which she recently sold for $1 billion. One of the products Rhode famously released was a phone case with a built-in lip gloss holder. Elsewhere in "Go Baby," Justin again sings about tough times and offers a shoulder to cry on during the dark days. 'When sunlight turns to shadow and it gets hard to face / Like water to a flower, babe, I know you need the rain / Nothing needs to work out and nothing needs to break / Don't need to pretend that you're OK,' the lyrics read. Justin Bieber Calls Wife Hailey Bieber His 'Forever' Amid Ongoing Rumors About Their Marriage 'So cry on my shoulder, just turn into me / Cry on my shoulder whenever you need it,' Justin continues, later adding, 'Lay you down and I can love it away, just stay by my side.' The song 'Daisies' also appears to touch on similar themes. 'Throwin' petals like, 'Do you love me or not?' / Head is spinnin', and it don't know when to stop / You said 'Forever,' babe, did you mean it or not?' Justin sings. 'And if it ain't right, babe, you know I respect it / But if you need time, just take your time / Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it.'

Jessica Biel reveals workout that gave her an ‘unattainable' peach-shaped butt on ‘The Better Sister'
No ifs, ands — but definitely some butts. Prime Video's new thriller series 'The Better Sister' has earned lots of fans, thanks in large part to leading ladies Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks. But the thing that no one can get over is how absolutely incredible Biel, 43, looked in that white dress — in fact, Biel has heard so much about how terrific her tush looked that she's sharing the workout that got it that way. 'Everyone is talking — or telling me that they're really enjoying — The Better Sister, which is amazing… and also talking about the white dress,' she said on TikTok, responding to a commenter who begged her to 'drop the workout routine.' But first, Biel said, let's temper our expectations. 'I wanted to share that that peach shape in that show is not maintainable unless you are living the strictest, most rigid lifestyle with your nutrition and fitness — which I cannot do,' she said. So while she got there for the series, keeping her butt like that full-time is, according to the star, a tall order. Having made everyone feel a little bit better about themselves, she went on to say that she is 'trying to get a little bit back towards that shape' and shared some of the workouts — courtesy of Pilates guru Ashley Brown — that gave her that delectable derriere. Lie with your upper back supported on a bench, feet flat on the floor. Drive through heels to lift your hips until shoulders‑to‑knees form a straight line, squeezing the glutes at the top. If you don't have barbells, you can also use double dumbbells — as Biel does. Do 10 reps and 4 sets. Stand tall holding dumbbells or a bar. Keeping your knees slightly bent, hinge at your hips and lower yourself down with your back straight, then squeeze hamstrings/glutes to stand back up. Also 10 reps and 4 sets. Lie on your back with your feet on a stability ball. Lift hips, then curl the ball toward your glutes with your feet. Repeat 10-12 times with three sets. Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell at your chest, then step backward (or laterally) into a deep lunge. Three sets of 6-8 reps. Anchor a resistance band or cable low and attach it to your ankle. Extend your leg straight back and up to activate the glute, especially the side/lateral muscles. Two sets of 10-12 reps, using a stronger band for the second set. Lie on your back, holding a kettlebell with arms extended. Simultaneously lower opposite arm and leg toward the floor with control. Twelve reps total and two sets. Proving that she is in, fact, human, Biel was out of breath by the end of the video. 'Whoo, I'm tired,' she said. 'My body is not 20 years old anymore.'
