Taylor Kitsch?

 

Been done.

 

Jason Statham?

 

Channing Tatum

 

Who cares about Dalton? Who plays Jeff Healey? Blind, white, mediocre blues singers don't grow on trees.

 

They should do some stunt casting and have Kevin Tighe play Brad Wesley.

 

Keanu Reeves in the Sam Elliott role

 

First Red Dawn, now this. If Hollywood remakes The Outlaw Josey Wales, I'm moving to an off the grid cabin so I can write my 50,000-word manifesto.

 

I can argue that a Red Dawn in a post 9/11 world might make some sense. But what exactly has changed since the first Road House? What new "spin" could you put on it?
Now what I'd like to see is the new Dalton walk into a chain bar - like Coyote Ugly - and transform it into a real bar.
"No Dancing on the bar! You gotta go!"
"Those t-shirts? They gotta go!"
"Those uniforms? They gotta go!"
"That mascot? He gotta go!"
"Those boat drinks? They're history pal!"
"Those chicken wings? Out the door!"
"That crap your calling country music? With the puka shells, the backwards cap and your bros? If the singer isn't named George, Willie or Johnny, it don't get played."

 

I hope he starts at the one in Nashville, too. Shit, I'd come work for him.

 

They did True Grit.
