Summary
- Director Guy Ritchie has reportedly left the upcoming Road House 2 from Amazon MGM Studios
- Despite his departure, the sequel starring Jake Gyllenhaal is still set to begin production this fall
The upcoming sequel to the successful action remake, titled Road House 2, from Amazon MGM Studios has encountered a setback. Renowned filmmaker Guy Ritchie is said to have vacated the director’s position, barely months after joining and prior to the planned September production commencement. Although no specific reason for his departure has been disclosed, this development has sparked lively discussions within Hollywood circles.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but get excited about the news that the stylishly brilliant Ritchie, renowned for his action masterpieces like Snatch and The Gentlemen, has been lined up to direct Road House 2. This project has been in his hands since April, replacing Doug Liman who openly expressed his displeasure with Amazon regarding the original film’s streaming release. If this comes true, it would be a delightful reunion for Ritchie and star Jake Gyllenhaal, who have previously joined forces on The Covenant. Here’s to hoping for an amazing sequel!
Although Ritchie’s sudden departure, the Amazon MGM Studios remains resolute about the project. Jake Gyllenhaal is still set to portray Dalton once more, the former UFC fighter transformed into a bouncer. The production team is pushing forward with plans to start production this autumn, hinting at an intense search for a new director to lead the way. Will Beall is crafting the script for the sequel, with specifics of the plot being tightly guarded secrets. The 2024 Road House remake proved to be a sensational streaming hit for Prime Video, drawing in over 80 million global viewers within its initial two months. This commercial victory made a sequel an urgent priority for the studio, despite the directorial changes happening behind the scenes.
