As per 'Variety', producers include Atlas Entertainment's
Charles Roven
and Alex Gartner, as well as Gyllenhaal for his Nine Stories Productions with Josh McLaughlin.
Ivan Atkinson
will executive produce.
'Road House' is a reboot of the 1989 classic starring Patrick Swayze, and followed Gyllenhaal as a former
UFC fighter
struggling to make ends meet. After the owner of a Florida Keys roadhouse finds him sleeping in his car, Dalton becomes the bar's bouncer and finds himself roped into a war of outlaws and bikers (including real-life mixed martial artist and first-time actor, Conor McGregor) and a developer determined to build a lavish resort for "rich a*******".
The movie was viewed as a success for Amazon MGM and the studio announced a sequel was in development last summer during its inaugural Upfronts presentation. The film launched on Prime Video last March and broke records for the streamer - attracting nearly 80 million worldwide viewers in its first eight weeks to become the studio's "most-watched produced film debut ever on a worldwide basis," per then-studio chief Jennifer Salke.
Ritchie's prolific filmography includes high points like 2019's 'Aladdin', the Disney live-action adaptation grossed over $1 billion worldwide, which is his box office pinnacle - and the British gangster comedy 'The Gentlemen', which spawned a successful spinoff series at Netflix with a second season going into production this spring.
