As our Patrick Swayze-loving founder Paul Heath bangs his fists on the desk, THN Towers is shaken to the core! With recent news of a television series based on GHOST in the works as well as a reboot of Kathryn Bigelow’s undercover classic POINT BREAK, this one is sure to hit him hardest…

Yes, MGM is planning to remake the 1989 actioner ROAD HOUSE, which saw the smooth Swayze as a marital-arts skilled bouncer (with a mysterious past), who’s hired by the manager of run down club in Missouri – Double Deuce – to clean up its clientele. However, he faces a rough ride as the local mobster likes the corrupt town that he runs just the way it is. The film co-starred the great Sam Elliot, a peachy-arsed Kelly Lynch and of couse, the late Ben Gazzara.

THE FAST & THE FURIOUS and xXx director Rob Cohen will helm from a script by Michael Stoker.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
