Dalton is back to his fighting ways — and this time he’s causing havoc in a new location.
The first trailer for “Road House,” a remake of the 1989 Patrick Swayze-starring action film, was released on Jan. 25, showing a buff and built Jake Gyllenhaal in the leading role.
Prior to the first look being released, the actor and Prime Video teased his beat-up and bloody character with the movie's poster.
The film appears to have some similarities with the Swayze, mainly Dalton being a fighting machine working at a roadhouse.
The 1989 movie centered on James Dalton, a professional "cooler," or bouncer, at a bar in a small town in Missouri. The new iteration appears to up the ante and bring in more action. In the original, Swayze took on the leading role as Dalton. The actor died in 2009 from pancreatic cancer at the age of 57.

What is the new 'Road House' movie about?
Described as an “adrenaline-fueled reimagining" of the "cult classic,” “Road House” follows ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Gyllenhaal) after he takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse. However, once he’s there, he discovers that this paradise is not all it seems.
The film, directed by Doug Liman, promises brutal bloodshed, explosions, boat chases and “some playful surprises along the way.”
