La nueva película “Road House” gira en torno a Dalton de Gyllenhaal, un ex peleador de UFC con un pasado oscuro. Él lucha para ganar peleas sórdidas cuando el roadie de los Cayos de Florida, Frankie (Jessica Williams), lo contrata para ser su nuevo guardaespaldas, específicamente para detener a una pandilla violenta que trabaja para un señor del crimen llamado Brandt (Billy Magnussen). . La película también fue protagonizada por Daniela Melchior (“The Suicide Squad”) y la estrella de UFC Conor McGregor, lo que marcó su debut como actor. McGregor y Gyllenhaal se guiaron mutuamente durante el rodajeya que ambos tenían experiencia en la profesión de la vida real del otro.
Aún no hay información sobre cuándo comenzará la producción de la secuela y no está claro si regresarán los mismos escritores. Amazon parece ansioso por seguir adelante, habiendo esperado menos de dos meses para hacer este anuncio. Es probable que mucho de esto dependa del calendario de Gyllenhaal, ya que es una estrella muy solicitada. También puede depender de encontrar al director adecuado, suponiendo que Liman no encuentre de alguna manera la manera de negociar con el estudio y regresar. Parece probable que alguien más ocupe la silla del director, pero han sucedido cosas extrañas.
“Road House” Parte 2 no tiene fecha de estreno establecida, pero estad atentos.
Harrison Ford’s footsteps are hard to fill, but Jake Gyllenhaal clearly isn’t afraid to give it a go: he’s the star and executive producer of Apple TV Plus‘ upcoming series Presumed Innocent, a remake of the Ford-starring 1990 courtroom drama based on the Scott Turow bestseller of the same name.
This time around it’s an eight-part series rather than a two-hour movie, and the star-studded cast includes Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, O-T Fagbenle, Chase Infiniti, Nana Mensah, Renate Reinsve, Peter Sarsgaard, Kingston Rumi Southwick and Elizabeth Marvel.
The book, movie and show all tell the same story. In Chicago, chief deputy prosecutor Rusty Sabich (Gyllenhaal) is accused of a horrific murder – an accusation that could destroy his family, his career and his life. As Sabich battles to clear his name, the series explores themes of sex, politics, power and obsession.
Is Presumed Innocent presumed to be good?
I think so. The book was great, the movie was pretty good and the trailer suggests that the show captures the claustrophobic, paranoid vibe very well – and of course Gyllenhaal is a fine actor, as are his fellow cast members. The show is being made by Bad Robot alongside David E Kelley Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Kelley created or produced tons of big-name shows including Chicago Hope, Boston Legal, Ally McBeal, Big Little Lies and a pilot of The Lincoln Lawyer among many more, so clearly we’re in safe hands here even if Rusty Sabich isn’t.
What made the film so good, and what Apple seems to be focusing on here, was the courtroom scenes. As The Philadelphia Enquirer put it, “at least on the surface, Presumed Innocent unfolds in the grand tradition of great courtroom drama. But nothing in Presumed Innocent is what it seems”.
The courtroom scenes in the film are very tense, and there are plenty of twists, shock reveals and other key moments in Scott Turow’s story to make you jump up from the couch; the LA Times called the movie “intelligent, complex and enthralling”.
Hopefully expanding the story to eight episodes won’t overstretch things: the pre-court scenes in the book and film were a bit of a slow burn, but there’s slow and then there’s sloooooooooooow. Fingers crossed this isn’t the latter. For now, Presumed Innocent is presumed awesome.

Jake Gyllenhaal looks guilty as hell in gripping <em>Presumed Innocent</em> trailer on Apple TV+
“Love isn’t what people tell you that it is,” Gyllenhaal’s character Rusty Sabich says, ominously, as the trailer opens. “In my experience, it’s just something that grows. Until, one day, you just find yourself just needing someone. That’s how it was with Carolyn. She woke something up inside me.”
But what she woke up inside him might not have been all that loving, judging by the moody, minute-long trailer. It shows Rusty and Carolyn (Renate Reinsve) falling in love until something unspeakable — and unshown — happens. And Sabich, a prosecutor who is married to someone else in the film’s current day, ends up in uncomfortable conversations with cops.
Based on The New York Times bestselling novel of the same name by Scott Turow, the gripping series takes viewers on a journey through the horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s office when chief deputy prosecutor Rusty Sabich (Gyllenhaal) is suspected of the crime. The series explores obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love, as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.
