This is superb news, and is the good side of the madness of Sony’s sequel plans, Roadhouse 2 – The Last Call. A cheesy title, but Roadhouse was so much fun, and without bringing shame on my house I have to say that Patrick Swayze positively rocked in that movie, helped along by Kelly Lynch (Woooo!) and the “I’ll get all the sleep I need when I’m dead” Sam Elliot.
“Road House 2” is being produced by Tomorrow Film Corp.’s Yoram Pelman. Gersh-repped Scott Ziehl is in negotiations to direct. Jonathan Schaech, also repped by Gersh, has an offer to star.Miles Chapman is the writer. An August shoot is being eyed for the project.
The Director in talks looks seriously dodgy and there’s no mention of the writer on IMDB, so I’m concerned that this project won’t get the attention it deserves. There’s only one thing that can work here, bring back Swayze, no question, he certainly is in shape to do it. I say get him on board and then you’ve got a great start for this production. I’d hate to see it any other way.
