The first trailer for the remake of Road House–the cult-classic ’80s action film starring the late Patrick Swayze–is here, and just like the original film, it looks like an action-packed exploration of how to deal with the rudest of patrons at your local bar. Starring Jake Gyllenhall as a former UFC fighter turned bouncer, the first trailer has plenty of hard-hitting scenes, fast cars, and real UFC brawler Connor McGregor on a rampage.
Road House will be skipping a theatrical release and will be available through Amazon’s streaming service Prime Video on March 21, a move that has led the film’s director to boycott the upcoming SXSW premiere of the movie. In a guest column on Deadline, Doug Liman criticized Amazon’s decision to go straight to streaming with Road House.
“When Road House opens the SXSW film festival, I won’t be attending,” Liman wrote. “The movie is fantastic, maybe my best, and I’m sure it will bring the house down and possibly have the audience dancing in their seats during the end credits. But I will not be there.”
