The immortal 1989 feature, “Road House,” which starred Patrick Swayze as a “cooler” for a rough-and-tumble roadside dive bar, is getting a fresh coat of paint with Jake Gyllenhaal serving a similar role, this time for an oceanside bar in Florida. And it looks like there will be a similar amount of fist-fighting and beer-drinking. You can watch the new trailer above.
In this new “Road House” Gyllenhaal plays Elwood Dalton, which could mean that he’s the son of the Swayze character from the first movie, a former UFC fighter who becomes a “cooler” for a bar in the Florida Keys.
