Director Doug Liman to Boycott Premiere of 'Road House' Remake

Liman protests Amazon MGM's decision to bypass a theatrical release for the film, causing mixed reactions among fans.

Road House, a remake of the '80s cult classic, is set to release on Amazon Prime on March 21, 2024, under the direction of Doug Liman, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and UFC sensation Conor McGregor.
Doug Liman has announced he will boycott the premiere of the movie in protest at Amazon MGM's decision to bypass a theatrical release for the film.
Liman's decision to boycott the premiere is due to his belief that a digital-only release will harm the industry and the significance of theatrical releases.
The film follows the story of Elwood Dalton, a former UFC fighter, who takes up a job as a bouncer at a roadhouse in the Florida Keys.
Despite some fans expressing excitement for the remake, many Patrick Swayze fans have voiced their disapproval on social media, declaring they would boycott the new version.
