MGM has tapped Rob Cohen to direct its upcoming remake of the 1989 Patrick Swayze movie “Road House,” TheWrap has learned.

Rowdy Herrington directed the original film, which was produced by Joel Silver. Kelly Lynch co-starred alongside Sam Elliott and Ben Gazzara.

The original “Road House” followed a tough bouncer with a mysterious past who is hired to tame a dirty bar in Missouri.

Michael Stokes wrote the script for the “Road House” remake. He also wrote Millennium Films’ action movie “Crash Bandits,” which is another project that Cohen has been developing as a director.

Matt Dines is expected oversee the “Road House” remake for MGM, which has been keen to exploit its library titles in recent years.

“Road House” grossed over $30 million at the domestic box office and earned a cult following thanks to home video and cable.

Cohen is a veteran action director who is responsible for launching the “Fast and the Furious” franchise. His other genre credits include “Daylight,” “xXx” and “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.”

Cohen most recently directed the Tyler Perry vehicle “Alex Cross” and he’s currently working on Blumhouse’s thriller “The Boy Next Door,” which finds Jennifer Lopez having an affair with her teenage neighbor.

Groan... Let's see how they remove the only good part of this movie- the bloody and senselessly violent over the top 80's style.

i'm really fucking glad someone else got to this

What else from my childhood can Hollywood dick with? The only way this could be worse is if Michael Bay was somehow involved.

If Road House defines your childhood I feel bad for you son.

I put it in the same era as sixteen candles, chuck norris movies, ferris bueller, etc etc. All classics to me. I don't look forward to this remake.

[chazzyphizzle]

you tried to sneak chuck norris movies in there, but it's not gonna fly. how can you talk about ferris buehler and 16 candles as classics and include chuck norris movies in that tier lol

Don't act like sidekicks wasn't amazing

I just stick all the movies from the late 80s/early 90s together. The John Candy movies, Hook, Ghost, Flatliners, Addam's Family, Princess Bride, etc. I would always stick Road House and Dirty Dancing in that list. I just don't see how the story can hold up in this day and age. Didn't they do enough damage with Footloose?
