Director Doug Liman and Fans Call for Theatrical Release of Action-Packed Film
- Doug Liman's remake of 'Road House', starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor, is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on March 21, 2024, bypassing a theatrical release.
- Liman and fans of the film have expressed disappointment at the decision, arguing that the action-packed film is ideally suited for the big screen.
- The film's trailer, which features intense fight scenes and high-speed chases, has been well-received by fans, further fueling calls for a theatrical release.
- Liman has criticized Amazon for prioritizing its streaming service over supporting cinemas, and has suggested that the company is using the film to boost its e-retail business.
- Despite the controversy, the film is set to open the SXSW Film Festival, and has been praised by Liman as possibly his best work to date.
