Amazon has released a new poster for Jake Gyllenhaal’s reboot of Road House. The Spider-Man: Far From Home and The Covenant star is stepping into the shoes of the late Patrick Swayze for a reimagining of the 1989 fan-favorite film for Amazon MGM Studios. The new Road House comes from director Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow) and finds Gyllenhaal playing a former UFC fighter that takes a job as a bouncer at a road house in the Florida Keys. With Road House set to drop on Prime Video on March 21st, it’s time to look at a new poster for the film.
The new Road House poster features Jake Gyllenhaal sitting at the infamous road house with his shirt open for all to see. Blood stains can be found on his face, chest, and stomach, and the poster has the phrase, “Take It Outside” down at the bottom. Gyllenhaal’s Dalton character is also sporting a tattoo sleeve on his left arm.ย
