Then Conor McGregor has become an icon as a UFC fighter, now the Irish sportsman is ready to take on the actor’s role for the first time in the reboot movie The Duro of the Road House. McGregor will flank Jake Gyllenhaalwho will play the role of a local bouncer who was just a UFC fighter.
Conor McGregor has starred in several TV commercials to date and had a special documentary with Notorius, dating back to 2017. The Road House’s Duro turns out to be McGregor’s first appearance as a real actor.
The cast also includes Billy Magnussen, Daniela Melchior, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Lukas Gage, Hannah Love Lanier, Travis Van Winkle, BK Cannon, Arturo Castro, Dominique Columbus, Beau Knapp and Bob Menery.
The reboot of Il Duro del Road House comes from the cult film starring Patrick Swayze, which, despite criticism in 1989 at the time of its release, has over the years become a reference film among fans of the actor.
In the film, Swayze plays a Missouri bouncer who starts a dispute with a local businessman who wants to control the entire town. In the remake, Jake Gyllenhaal plays a former UFC fighter who is hired as a bouncer at a Florida club, but who suddenly realizes that the place where he works is not the paradise he imagined.
The film will be directed by Doug Liman, who previously worked on Edge of Tomorrow, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and The Bourne Identity. The screenplay was written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry.
