In the new version of “Bouncers”, Jake Gyllenhaal will play the main character, but unlike the original, he will not train karate, and he will become a UFC fighter. A video has appeared on the Internet showing a staged fight involving Gyllenhaal, which took place recently in Las Vegas.
Jake Gyllenhaal fights in a cage on the set of ‘Road House’
His hero will be recruited as a security guard for a dilapidated bar whose owner can’t handle dangerous customers. The video shows Gyllenhaal fighting former UFC fighter Jay Hieron. At first it looks exhausted, but that’s just appearances. In a staged fight, he knocks his rival to the ground with a flying knee.
In the 1989 film, the recognizable sign of the main character was also the fact that he was able to maintain a stoic calm. It is not known whether it will be the same in “Road House”, but certainly his muscles are as sculpted as Patrick Swayze’s in the film from years ago. The actor delighted the fans with his figure already in 2015 in the movie “To the loss of strength”, where he played the role of a boxer.
In early March, the world was informed that the actor appeared at the 285th UFC event and took part in the weigh-in. The star climbed on the scales, flexed his muscles and let out a scream. After this show of strength, he came face to face with his film opponent, where he then slapped him. He was also impressed when the crowd started cheering as his character entered the octagon.
The release date of the film is not yet known, but it will appear on the Amazon Prime Video streaming service, and the bosses of the platform have high hopes for it. Amazon Studios CEO Jennifer Salke said last year that “Road House” is like a baseball ace to them. “Not only is this a nod to the fans of the original, but it’s also a fun movie for the general public,” she stated.
