Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors A whole bunch of diehard Patrick Swayze fans will ask you if the first remake should've ever been made, but that didn't stop millions from tuning in to watch Amazon's "Road House" remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Doug Liman directed that film, and now with "Road House 2" on the way, the director has been found for the sequel. Variety reports that Guy Ritchie will helm "Road House 2". Read More: 'Now You See Me 3' Releases Star-Studded Trailer It's not that much of a surprise that Liman won't be back for the sequel. The director wasn't silent about his frustrations with the release of "Road House". He said the film was initially meant for a theatrical release, which was changed after Amazon acquired MGM, at which point Liman's compensation reportedly shrank.

Amazon Studios "Road House 2" will mark the third collaboration between Ritchie and Gyllenhaal. The latter starred in 2023's "The Covenant" and will star in the upcoming action thriller "In the Grey" alongside Henry Cavill. The "Road House" remake premiered on Amazon Prime last March and became a streaming hit, with close to 80 million viewers streaming it worldwide in its first eight weeks. According to then-Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke, that made it Amazon's "most-watched produced film debut ever on a worldwide basis." Gyllenhaal's Elwood Dalton is in desperate straits when we meet him in "Road House". An ex-UFC fighter living in his car and contemplating suicide, he's hired as a bouncer but finds himself facing a lot more than just drunks. Over the years, Ritchie has proven himself to be not only a prolific director but also one who enjoys working with the same actors in different projects. Along with Gyllenhaal, frequent collaborators with Guy Ritchie include Henry Cavill and Jason Statham. Ironically, even though Ritchie is known for action-heavy thrillers, financially his most successful film was the live-action remake of "Aladdin," which cracked the $1 billion mark. For a time, Ritchie was attached to a sequel, but that follow-up seems to have settled down in development limbo. Ritchie seems busier now than ever. Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, and Pierce Brosnan star in his organized crime series "MobLand" on Paramount+. John Krasinski, Natalie Portman, and Eiza González star in his adventure film "Fountain of Youth," which premieres May 23 on Apple TV+.

Directed by Ruben Fleischer, the third installment in the heist franchise marks the return of thieving magicians.

Daniel 'Danny' Atlas, Dave Franco as Jack Wilder, Isla Fisher as Henley Reeves, and Woody Harrelson as Merritt McKinney — set to conduct another dangerous and greatest heist. However, this time, they are joined by newcomers in this mission. Ahead of the trailer release, a glimpse of the third installment was provided earlier this month at CinemaCon. At the time, Lionsgate's Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson addressed what fans could expect from the upcoming release. He said, 'We can't wait for audiences to discover what [Fleischer's] done with the third film, and thrilled he'll be making even more magic with us.' (via Variety) Yes, Ruffalo is confirmed to return in Now You See Me: Now You Don't. The MCU actor might be missing from the trailer, but since his return has already been confirmed, he'll likely show up in the movie directly.

There, he learns that their leader, Thaddeus, and his father, Lionel, were partners in magic. After sorting things out among them, Thaddeus passes on his mantle to Dylan. Meanwhile, the Horsemen are guided to an entrance to find out more about the Eye.
