"House by the Road" Poster, trailer and a little scandal

The path to realizing the film remake"House by the road" (Road House) was, to put it mildly, thorny. First, there were several different versions of the project that failed to materialize over the years (including a version in which Ronda Rousey was supposed to play the lead role.), and now artificial intelligence has intervened.

It appears that the screenwriter of the original 1989 film Patrick Swayze, R. Lance Hill (who writes his screenplays under the name David Lee Henry) is suing the filmmakers of the new film, alleging that they used artificial intelligence to reproduce the actors' voices during post-production. Since 2021, he has been fighting to obtain all copyrights for the film and ban it from distribution - so far unsuccessfully. Apparently, Lee Henry's efforts were one of the reasons for the film's refusal to release in theaters. "Road House" will be broadcast only on streaming platforms. However, such a limited screening of the film does not mean that it is bad, this is just the situation.

Let's take a break from the scandals and admire the new large poster, in which the key characters are conducting a battle of views. Played the main character Jake Gyllenhaal, and his antagonist is a UFC star, Conor McGregor, about whose film debut previously stated.

Film made Doug Lyman (The Bourne Identity), a reimagining of the 1989 cult classic, stars Gyllenhaal as a former UFC fighter who takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys diner. However, a local gang led by McGregor's hero disrupts all his plans for a quiet life.

Garrett Warren (Best of the Best 4, Double Dragon) choreographed the stunts, Brian Sloyer and Chad Guerrero performed them.

    I never liked McGregor. Too toxic, even considering the fact that they have it as part of their image. But I'll watch the movie. The original came back when I was a child.))

    To be honest, I didn’t want to watch it, because the original - well, you know... But here, I didn’t even know that Conor would be there. I want to see. I understand that in terms of fighting, Gyllenhaal will look... hmm, but Conor is a born actor. Moreover, the role is such...

      A good fighter is not always a good actor; on the other hand, actors, with the competent work of choreographers, can very often show something interesting. This really needs to be looked at.
