The Doug Liman-directed Road House remake, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, was a massive hit from Prime Video this winter. According to the streamer, the movie was watched by 50 million global viewers, which is a staggering audience and makes it one of the most popular streaming movies ever. In interviews, Gyllenhaal seemed open to the possibility of a sequel, and the film certainly left a huge plot thread dangling with its post-credits sequence. Thus, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that Amazon announced at its Upfronts presentation today that a sequel is in the works, with Gyllenhaal returning as Dalton.
No news yet on whether co-star Connor McGregor or director Doug Liman will be returning. I would bet McGregor will be back, but Liman seems unlikely. The director has been outspoken about his conflict with Amazon regarding the film bypassing a theatrical release. The company, for its part,...

Conor McGregor has made his acting debut alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in the action film Road House. With the Mma star venturing into the world of Hollywood, comparisons naturally arise with another icon who traveled a similar path, Dwayne Johnson. The former wrestling champion made his feature film debut in the early 2000s and has since become one of the most prominent names in the film industry.

Road House 2, the latest iteration of the action-packed 1989 classic original, takes a bold step from its predecessor with noticeable changes to the plot. Unlike the original, there are noticeably no throat-splitting scenes in this modern adaptation.

This change may come as a disappointment to fans of the over-the-top original performances starring Patrick Swayze. Instead, the remastered version of Road House, now available to stream on Prime Video, stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Dalton, who, like Swayze’s iconic role, is tasked with restoring order to a chaotic bar plagued by nightly brawls and violence.

Jake Gyllenhaal stars in Doug Liman’s remake/reimagining/resomething of Road House – but it won’t be seeing a cinema screen.
Not everyone’s been keen on the news that there’s a remake of the much-loved 1980s hit Road House on the way. After all, the original – directed by the sublimely-named Rowdy Herrington – gave the late and much-missed Patrick Swayze one of his most famous roles.
The new Road House gives that part to a bulked-up Jake Gyllenhaal, and he’s going to be going toe-to-toe with an antagonist played by Connor McGregor. It’s former UFC fighter McGregor’s acting debut, and also in the ensemble are Daniela Melchior and Billy Magnussen.
The plot remains familiar: a man called Dalton is hired to work at a Road House (see what they did there?) which is being targeted by not very nice people. Those not very nice people...

One of Ireland’s most famous actors has taken a shot at one of Ireland’s most famous athletes. Liam Neeson told Men’s Health that he is no fan of UFC fighter Connor McGregor, going so far as to compare McGregor to a “little leprechaun.” McGregor, one of the highest-paid athletes in the world, is the first UFC fighter to hold UFC championships in two weight classes simultaneously.
“UFC I can’t stand,” Neeson said. “That to me is like a bar fight. I know the practitioners are like, ‘no, you’re wrong — the months of training we do …’ Why don’t you just grab a beer bottle and hit the other guy over the head? That’s the next stage of the UFC. I hate it.”
The actor continued, “That little leprechaun Conor McGregor, he gives Ireland a bad name. I know he’s fit, and I admire him for that.

Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) may have killed the Night King — but Drake may have just killed Arya Stark with his own personal endorsement.
While accepting the award for the Top Billboard 200 Album for “Scorpion” at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards on Wednesday, Drake thanked several people who helped him snag that trophy. And then he gave a very specific reference to the baddest girl in Westeros for singlehandedly killing the Night King and thus his entire undead army during the Battle of Winterfell on last Sunday’s “Game of Thrones.”
“Hey, shout-out to Arya Stark for putting in that work last week,” Drake said.
The congrats was very sweet and a cool nod to all the “GoT” fans in the house and watching at home — until some of them realized Drake may have just jinxed the young Stark girl.

Underneath the obvious nepotism, Vince McMahon did make subtle changes to Raw and SmackDown this week, as he promised a "shakeup" when he returned to television on Monday.
The first thing he did was bring his children back to TV. Baron Corbin and Paige are fired as Raw and SmackDown GMs, and the McMahon kids are back in charge with their dad. That's the only thing Vince does when he thinks his show is in trouble. It's why he returned to television in the first case. He believes his family is so over, that they'll be needle-movers in the ratings. He keeps his kids in an emergency case backstage, and breaks open the glass and put them in front of the camera at times like this when ratings are suffering and viewership is down.

HBO said today that it will end its live boxing programming at the end of 2018, a final bell at the pay-cable network that made the sport famous with the advent pay-per-view and by showcasing superstars from Mike Tyson, Oscar de La Hoya and Sugar Ray Leonard to Floyd Mayweather and Roy Jones Jr.
HBO Sports’ first live boxing broadcast was in 1973, when it covered George Foreman’s victory over Joe Frazier in Jamaica for the world heavyweight title. Its 1,100-plus fights since then included Evander Holyfield-Foreman in 1991, one of the first PPV fights, on Tvko (later renamed HBO PPV).
But viewership ratings have been in decline, partly because of the rise in popularity of Mma, and also the proliferation of outlets that feature their own boxing programming.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson took to Instagram to bash Terry Crews after the Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor testified before a Senate Judiciary Committee about sexual assault by a Hollywood agent.
The Instagram post included an image of shirtless Crews with the words “I got raped. My wife just watched.” It also featured second photo of Crews in a suit with a rose in his mouth with the words “Gym time.”
In addition to this flimsy meme, 50 Cent wrote in the caption: “Lol,What the f*ck is going on out here man? Terry: I froze in fear. they would have had to take me to jail. get the strap.” Peppered with emojis, the caption was clearly an attempt to take mocking jabs at Crews. The Instagram post has since been taken down. A screen shot of the post can be seen below.
