Directing the sequel "Road House 2": Guy Ritchie - Director Guy Ritchie takes on sequel of classic action film, "Road House 2"

Hey there, movie buffs! You might want to sit tight for this one! The legendary Guv'nor of modern crime capers, Guy Ritchie (56), is set to take on a new challenge - directing the sequel to the thrilling action classic, "Road House". According to the grapevine in U.S. showbiz circles, word on the street is that Jake Gyllenhaal (44) will be reprising his role as Dalton, the ex-UFC fighting bad-ass.

Just like in the original flick from back in '89, Jake will be stepping into the shoes of the legendary Patrick Swayze's lead character. The remake they churned out in 2024 had him strutting his stuff as the new Dalton, and who could forget that incredible match between our Dalton and Conor McGregor, the roughest, toughest troublemaker around?

While details about the plot for the upcoming sequel remain hush-hush, we can bet it's going to be one heck of a rollercoaster ride! Fans will be thrilled to know that Will Beall (53), the dazzling wordsmith behind "Aquaman" and "Bad Boys 4", will be lending his skills to the script.

Guy and Jake have already teamed up on a couple of action adventures, like "Guy Ritchie's The Pakt" and the gripping action thriller "In the Grey". With their combined talents, we can expect nothing but explosive entertainment!

Now, before you get your hopes up too high, there's no concrete confirmation about Conor McGregor reprising his role as the confrontational Knox. We'll just have to wait and see as more details unfold. Stay tuned for updates as the negotiations take their course!

As for the existing "Road House 2: Last Call" out there, that's a whole different story - a direct-to-video sequel from 2006, starring a different leading man. This Guy Ritchie-directed sequel, though, is all about carrying on where Jake Gyllenhaal's character left off in the 2024 remake. So buckle up, folks, and get ready for another serving of high-octane entertainment!
