Wake up your regular Saturday Night Thing and tell him or her the news: There's a "Road House" remake in the works. And your new Dalton might very well be . . . JAKE GYLLENHAAL.
He's in talks to take over PATRICK SWAYZE's most iconic role and tell people to be nice . . . until it's time to not be nice.
The big question is, who will play Wade Garrett? I would almost suggest that SAM ELLIOTT could STILL do it. But probably not.
Sam was 45 when he played the grizzled, old bad-ass bouncer back in 1989. So if we're matching that age, we need someone born in '76.
Some folks who meet that requirement include Ryan Reynolds, Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Farrell, Ryan Hurst from "Sons of Anarchy", Joe Manganiello, and an out-of-the-box choice that I think could really work: Danny McBride.
Although it would be hard to argue with this guy: Jon Bernthal from "The Walking Dead" and "The Punisher".
