When Emma Stone, star of Disney’s Cruella and Searchlight’s Poor Things, introduced CEO Bob Iger at the company’s Upfronts presentation this week – the first time that the former TV chief had been on stage at the advertising rodeo in 30 years – it was clear that this is no longer just a TV event.
“To say a lot has changed since 1994 would be an incredible understatement and I’m not just talking about the color of my hair, or my fashion choices,” Iger said.
Stars such as Ryan Reynolds, Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, Will Ferrell and Jake Gyllenhaal were all highly visible presences across the week to promote their recent and upcoming feature films.
It marked a sea change for the Madison Avenue set, who were previously treated to a cavalcade of television stars promoting the small-screen, usually fresh from the broadcast pilot process. Unlike April’s CinemaCon,...

In 1989, the legendary Patrick Swayze starred in the original Road House movie. The movie has achieved cult status in the meantime, and while the 2006 sequel was panned by critics, Amazon decided to remake the movie, which was released earlier this year to mixed reviews, but it seems that the fans were more than satisfied, as a sequel has been announced by Amazon, with the first film’s main star, Jake Gyllenhaal set to reprise his role in the sequel. We’re certain that this sequel won’t repeat the failure of the original sequel, but it remains to be seen how well Amazon is going to execute it.
The first movie was released in March 2024, and the critics on Rotten Tomatoes have agreed that “Road House updates a cult classic for a new generation, happily replicating the original’s emphasis on cheesy brawn over narrative brains.”
The movie wasn’t all too bad,...

Jake Gyllenhaal will return as wandering ex-mma fighter Dalton in Road House 2, Amazon MGM has announced.
Almost as famous for its off-screen drama as the spine-rattling violence within it, Road House was clearly a success for Amazon MGM earlier this year. So much so that studio boss Jennifer Salke has gone and announced that it’s going to make a sequel, with star Jake Gyllenhaal to return as its hard-hitting lead, Elwood Dalton.
“As we saw this spring the world went crazy for a little movie called Road House,” Salke said during a fancy event in New York, according to Variety. “Nearly 8 million viewers globally have watched Road House. We like to watch this these results like a baby.”
We’re not quite sure what Ms Salke means by the baby bit, and either she was misquoted or her numbers are somewhat off – it was originally reported that about 80 million people watched Road House worldwide,...

The Doug Liman-directed Road House remake, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, was a massive hit from Prime Video this winter. According to the streamer, the movie was watched by 50 million global viewers, which is a staggering audience and makes it one of the most popular streaming movies ever. In interviews, Gyllenhaal seemed open to the possibility of a sequel, and the film certainly left a huge plot thread dangling with its post-credits sequence. Thus, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that Amazon announced at its Upfronts presentation today that a sequel is in the works, with Gyllenhaal returning as Dalton.
No news yet on whether co-star Connor McGregor or director Doug Liman will be returning. I would bet McGregor will be back, but Liman seems unlikely. The director has been outspoken about his conflict with Amazon regarding the film bypassing a theatrical release. The company, for its part,...

Less than two months after the release of Prime Video’s remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal, a Road House sequel film is in the works.
Per Variety, Gyllenhaal is set to reprise his role as Dalton in the upcoming film. Other details, including whether director Doug Liman will also return, are unknown at this time.
According to Amazon MGM Studios, the first installment “has attracted nearly 80 million worldwide viewers to-date.

It's official: "Road House" is getting a sequel. Not the original Patrick Swayze classic from the '80s, mind you. Rather, the recent Jake Gyllenhaal-led remake that premiered earlier this year on Amazon Prime Video is getting a follow-up. Amazon has confirmed that "Road House 2" (which does not officially have a title) is in the works, with Gyllenhaal due to reprise his role as Dalton. Little else has been revealed but the company wasted little time in getting the project going.

It may seem hard to believe, but the Insidious franchise is getting long in the tooth! The first Insidious movie was released all the way back in 2010, kickstarting an unlikely string of movies under the watchful eye of Saw horror duo Leigh Whannell and James Wan.
At first, the franchise focused on the Lambert family, whose move to a new home coincided with their son Dalton falling into a mysterious coma. They soon found out that it wasn’t their home that was haunted, but their family. Thanks to the Lamberts’ ability to astral project their consciousnesses, they can access “The Further”, a purgatory dimension where they’re at risk of attracting restless spirits, demonic and otherwise.
The Further has been a central part of Insidious lore ever since, with two prequel movies telling stories outside of the Lambert family drama. But the heart of the...

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have been one of the most unexpected couples of 2023. In July, news broke that the "Wicked" costars were "full-on dating" months after meeting each other on set of the film. Prior to their coupling, Grande had been married to Dalton Gomez since May 2021 after first getting together in early 2020. Meanwhile, Slater and his wife, Lilly Jay, tied the knot in November 2018 but had been together since 2012. They had also welcomed their first child together in 2022.
Although a lot of speculation has surrounded the timing of Grande and Slater's relationship, a source confirmed to People that the pair began dating after they had already separated from their partners. "Ariana and Dalton separated in January," the source told the publication. "She and Ethan recently began dating, and he is separated from his wife." However, Jay appeared to paint a different picture of her and Slater's breakup. After...
