Woah Nelly! Is There a ‘Road House’ Sequel on the Horizon?
Dust off your cowboy hats, fight fans! There’s a rumble in the jungle…er, a rumble on the mean streets of fictional Port Henry! Rumours are swirling that a Road House sequel might be in the works, bringing back the iconic Dalton and some good old-fashioned bouncer brawls.
Now, before you get too excited, here’s the deal. There’s no official confirmation from MGM Studios just yet. But here’s what’s got fans buzzing: Jake Gyllenhaal, the star of the recent Road House remake, recently hinted at a possible sequel during a podcast interview. He said there were “conversations” happening, and that he’d be “open” to returning as the new Dalton.
Remember, there already was a kind-of-forgotten straight-to-video sequel back in 2006. But this time around, it sounds like they’re aiming for something bigger and badder. Think more along the lines of the original Patrick Swayze classic, with a modern twist.
Here’s the question everyone’s asking: would they bring back Swayze’s character, Dalton, in some way? Maybe in flashbacks or a ghostly cameo (hey, it’s Hollywood!). Or will they focus entirely on Gyllenhaal’s character and his adventures in maintaining order at the Double Deuce?
Only time will tell what the future holds for the Dalton legacy. But one thing’s for sure: if a Road House sequel does happen, it’s bound to be a nostalgia trip for fans of the original and a chance to introduce a whole new generation to the joys of flying elbows and fancy footwork (because who doesn’t love a good bar fight…in the movies, of course).
So, keep your eyes peeled for any official announcements. In the meantime, crank up your Bon Jovi playlist, practise your best “denied!” roar, and get ready for a possible return to the wild world of Road House! Just remember, be nice at the bar – unless someone’s causing trouble, then all bets are off!
