Road House 2 remains an important priority for Amazon MGM Studios, and the plan is to keep this production on track to shoot in the fall. A search for a new director is underway, and sources say casting continues.
In Part 2, Gyllenhaal reprises his role as ex-UFC fighter Dalton from a script by Will Beall (Bad Boys: Ride or Die). Road House 2 is produced by Atlas Entertainment's Charles Roven and Alex Gartner, Gyllenhaal's Nine Stories Productions with Josh McLaughlin executive producing.
The Doug Liman-directed 2024 movie, which made its world premiere at SXSW, was a reboot of the cult 1989 film starring Patrick Swayze. In that pic, Gyllenhaal's Dalton takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse, only to discover that this paradise is not all it seems. Ben Gazzara, Kelly Lynch and Sam Elliott also starred.
Guardians of the Galaxy and Dune franchise actor Dave Bautista is circling a role in Road House 2.
Sherlock Homes and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels filmmaker Ritchie hit a high point at the global box office in 2019 with his live-action take on Disney animated classic Aladdin, starring Will Smith, which minted $1.05 billion.

Where to stream the original ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer' and similar slashers
Love a masked stalker and a guilty secret? Here's what to watch next. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson's summer slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer is a sequel to the 1997 movie of the same name. And while the horror movie had fans rushing to the theater to see who is beneath the Fisherman's slicker this time around, it's also making many nostalgic for the original Jennifer Love Hewitt vehicle — or curious to check it out for the first time. The good news is that the 1997 version is streaming on MGM+ right now. But while the original IKWYDLS may be an obvious next watch if you're a fan of the new movie, the spirit of this slasher exists across plenty of other movies and shows too — all of which are streaming right now. Here are some to check out next time you're in a Last Summer sort of mood. If you want to watch the TV version: (2021) A brand new mystery unfolds for the college-age teens in Prime Video's I Know What You Did Last Summer, an original series inspired, as the slasher films before it was, by Lois Duncan's 1973 novel of the same name. Don't expect the Fisherman, though — this series is a wild, violent ride with a mythology all its own, and it borrows just as much from shows like Pretty Little Liars as it does classic slashers. Streaming on: Prime Video If you want to watch that other '90s slasher flick: (1996) Before he wrote I Know What You Did Last Summer, screenwriter Kevin Williamson found massive success in 1996 with Scream, which is also about a group of teens hunted by a masked killer. The film franchise is still ongoing, with the seventh movie currently in production — but while they're all worth a watch, it's hard to beat the twist ending of the original … that is, if you like scary movies. Streaming on: HBO Max If you want to revisit the '90s from a modern lens: (2021) This film, which is part of a trilogy, is the first installment of Netflix's reimagining of R.L. Stine's Fear Street book series. The slasher takes place in Shadyside, a town with a dark past and a huge body count. When the mysterious lore of the town slams into present day, teenager Sam (Kiana Madeira) must stop the town's monsters from doing what they do best: murdering everyone in sight. Expect crazy kills, quippy teens and, of course, lots of '90s iconography. Streaming on: Netflix If you want a touch of with your slasher: (2017) College student Tree (Jessica Rothe) keeps dying … and coming back to life … and dying again. Can she figure out who is behind the baby-faced mask that is out for her blood before she doesn't wake up for good? Available for rent or purchase: Prime Video If you want more bad decisions: (2009) A prank goes horribly awry in this remake of The House on Sorority Row (1982) and leads to the death of a college student (who just so happens to be played by Audrina Patridge of The Hills!). Just like in I Know What You Did Last Summer, that secret doesn't stay buried, and soon those involved in the cover-up are hunted by a masked killer. Streaming on: Tubi If you want another masked killer … and a romantic twist: (2025) What would a mash-up of a rom-com and a slasher movie look like? Enter Heart Eyes, in which two coworkers (played by Mason Gooding and Olivia Holt) catch feelings for one another when they become a target of a killer hunting down couples. Streaming on: Netflix If you're skipping summer and going right into the holidays: (2023) After a Black Friday stampede leads to the death of several locals, a deranged killer in a Pilgrim costume comes forward to take his revenge on a group of teens, including TikTok-turned-pop star Addison Rae. Fun fact: the concept of the film was first created as a fake movie trailer for the 2007 Quentin Tarantino-Robert Rodriguez double feature Grindhouse. Streaming on: Netflix Solve the daily Crossword

‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3, Episode 1: 5 Things You May Have Missed, From Belly's Photo Wall To Sour Patch Kids And More
Calling all The Summer I Turned Pretty fans. We are so back (to the beach). It's been an agonizing wait since TSITP's eventful Season 2 finale aired back in August 2023 and we watched Belly (Lola Tung) choose Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) over Conrad (Christopher Briney). But the hit Prime Video drama returned for its highly-anticipated third and final season, which will give our Summer Queen the chance to choose between the Fisher brothers again. (Hopefully for good this time!) Spoilers for Season 3, Episode 1 ahead. Season 3, Episode 1, 'Last Season,' checks in with Belly at the end of her junior year of college. She's prepping to spend a romantic summer at Cousins with her boyfriend Jere, but after learning he had sex with a girl named Lacie (Lily Donoghue) during a Spring Break trip to Cabo, she curses him out and questions their future together. Meanwhile, Conrad is thriving at Stanford in California. And Taylor (Rain Spencer) and Steven (Sean Kaufman) are navigating relationship drama of their own. Since The Summer I Turned Pretty is such a thoughtfully-crafted love letter to fans, each week until its September 17 finale, Decider will be taking a closer look at each episode and highlighting five moments that deserve to be put under the microscope. Whether they're blink-and-miss-it details, brilliant Easter eggs, or major scenes that need to be talked through in greater depth, we're here to obsess over, hypothesize, and dissect the series alongside you. We're also shouting out a standout needle drop each episode, since the show's soundtrack absolutely slaps. From a To All The Boys I've Loved Before reference to a Sour Patch Kids sighting and more, here are five things you may have missed in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, Episode 1, 'Last Season.' Top-Tier Jenny Han Easter Eggs (Belly's Photo Wall Edition) We're only two episodes into Season 3, but we're utterly convinced that Jenny Han is at the top of her Easter egg game. In Episode 1, the photo wall in Belly's dorm gives us a glimpse at key moments and milestones in her relationship with Jeremiah that we missed, but two memories in particular have us squealing. In the bottom lefthand corner, a Halloween photo shows Belly and Jere dressed as To All The Boys I've Loved Before's Lara Jean Covey and Peter Kavinsky — the first (but not the last!) nod to the Jenny Han Universe. And right above that is a photo of Jere and Belly all dressed up for a formal event. Corsage on wrist! After Conrad forgot Belly's corsage at prom in Season 5, Jeremiah said via voiceover, 'I would have done it right. I wouldn't have forgotten the corsage. I'd have given her the perfect night.' So no matter whose team you're on, here's hoping this photo is proof that Belly finally got a 'perfect night.' Connie Baby Thriving In Therapy I don't care what anyone says: Conrad Fisher has never been hotter than he is in Season 3, when he goes to therapy! on his own! for personal growth! and to learn healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with anxiety, pain, and panic attacks! *swoon!* This is 100% your. look, Connie Baby! When we first see Conrad in Season 3's premiere, he's strutting down the halls of Stanford to 'Can't Stop' by Red Hot Chili Peppers. He's playing football again! He's smiling! He has a college bestie named Agnes (Zoé De Grand'Maison)! He's being studious! Instead of another season spent brooding and shutting people out, he's actively trying to better himself and enjoying life more as a result. We love that for him. And while I doubt a single soul watched Episode 1 without clocking that Conrad was a Therapy Man now, it's such a crucial development that it deserved a spot on the list. In Conrad's Eyes, Belly Is Golden Based on TSITP's Season 3 trailer, Conrad is 'Red' for Belly in terms of Taylor Swift songs, while 'Daylight' encapsulates her feelings for Jeremiah. In Season 3's premiere, however, it seems Belly is also 'golden' in Conrad's eyes. The top photo is a screenshot from the Season 1 premiere, when Belly remembers how Conrad looked at her for the first time that summer. As the bottom screenshot shows, however, when he replays the same memory in his own head during therapy ( ), Belly is glowing gold, basking in daylight. It's a tiny touch, but one that speaks volumes. Without Conrad having to articulate it, the scene confirms that Belly taught him love isn't black and white. It's golden. (Sobbing.) Peep Those Sour Patch Kids (And Coke!) Even when Belly is sitting in her college library contemplating studying abroad in Paris for a semester, Conrad and Jeremiah are still in the room with us, via thoughtfully selected snacks. In the Season 2 finale, we watched Conrad crush his brother's hopes by insisting that Belly liked Sour Patch Kids more than Swedish Fish. The boys selected their sweet treats and presented them to TSITP's leading lady, who unknowingly delivered a major blow to Jere by choosing Conrad's Sour Patch Kids. Fans felt that the choice to have the candy on the table here not only served as a reminder of how well Conrad knows Belly, but foreshadowed their reunion. (Sour Patch Kids is thrilled and officially Team Conrad, BTW.) That said, if you look closer, you'll see that Jeremiah has a presence, too. Is that a Cherry Coke we see Belly drinking? Because we only know one Fisher brother who's a fan of her 'half cherry half coke' specialty… Another Jenny Han Season 3 win! The Summer I Turned Pretty Is Kicking Jeremiah When He's Down Those who read We'll Always Have Summer, the third book in The Summer I Turned Pretty series, knew that Jere's big Cabo cheating reveal was coming. But I audibly gasped when I learned that the show added another layer of pain to his plate by not having him graduate! Season 3 really said, 'Let's stray from the text and make things worse for this man,' and that seems like a real choice. As for why the additional twist in Jere's storyline was necessary, we'll have to see if there's more to it beyond the added tension we saw between him and Conrad/his dad/Belly's Paris plans in the two-part premiere. BONUS: Episode 1's Winning Needle Drop From The Cranberries and Nelly feat. Kelly Rowland to Chappell Roan and more, Season 3's premiere featured lots of exciting artists and musical moments, but there was only one Taylor Swift song, and it a doozy. As Belly sprints away from Jeremiah after learning about Cabo, 'You're Losing Me (From The Vault)' perfectly sets the mood. But with lyrics like 'I wouldn't marry me either' does the song also foreshadow the end of TSITP's story? Stay tuned! Want more The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Easter eggs? Be sure to read our '5 Things You May Have Missed From Episode 2' recap and share any we missed! New episodes of The Summer I Turn Pretty premiere Wednesdays at 3:00 a.m. ET on Prime Video.
