Jake Gyllenhaal Responds To Doug Liman Boycotting Their 'Road House' Premiere

Jake Gyllenhaal has weighed in on director Doug Liman‘s decision to boycott the premiere of their upcoming remake of the 1989 action movie Road House. Liman is refusing to attend the movie’s March 8 world premiere at the South by Southwest Film & TV Festival next month because the film’s studio, Amazon MGM Studios, is releasing Road House on Prime Video without a run in theaters. Gyllenhaal stars in the movie as Elwood Dalton, a bouncer who takes a job in a rowdy Florida bar. In an interview with Total Film, Gyllenhaal said: “I adore Doug’s tenacity, and I think he is advocating for filmmakers, and film in the cinema, and theatrical releases. But, I mean, Amazon was always clear that it was streaming. I just want as many people to see it as possible. And I think we’re living in a world that’s changing in how we see and watch movies, and how they’re made. What’s clear to me, and what I loved so much, was [Liman’s] deep love for this movie, and his pride at how much he cares for it, how good he feels it is, and how much people should see it.”
