'Road House' Trailer: See Jake Gyllenhaal as a UFC Fighter-Turned-Bouncer in Upcoming Remake

The upcoming remake is set to be released March 21 on Prime Video.

The first trailer for the Road House remake is officially here, and ready to throw down!

The upcoming film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Elwood Dalton, a former UFC fighter hired by a road house owner (Jessica Williams) in the Florida Keys to try and help keep the peace among her rowdy clientele.

"It takes a lot to get me angry, but when I am, I just can't let go," Gyllenhaal's character admits in the trailer, which is full of epic fights against everyone from the rich businessman threatening to shut down the club, played by Billy Magnussen, to the menacing hit man he hires, played by real-life UFC champion Conor McGregor.

"No one ever wins a fight," Elwood tells nurse and love interest Ellie, played by Daniela Melchior, in the trailer

Despite the thrilling footage, director Doug Liman is reportedly planning to boycott the film's SXSW premiere due to Amazon's decision to release the film directly to streaming on Prime Video.

"The reality is there may not be a human villain in this story – it may simply be an Amazon computer algorithm. Amazon will sell more toasters if it has more subscribers; it will have more subscribers if it doesn’t have to compete with movie theaters," Liman wrote in an op-ed for Deadline. "But a computer doesn’t know what it is like to share the experience of laughing and cheering and crying with a packed audience in a dark theater – and if Amazon has its way, future audiences won’t know either."

Road House is set to be released March 21 on Prime Video.
