    By Express News Service

    Channing Tatum’s production company, Free Association, has acquired the rights to the 1990 fantasy-romance film, Ghost.  The actor has recently revealed that he would most probably reprise the role of Patrick Swayze in the remake of the 90s film.

    Directed by Jerry Zucker, Ghost starred Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Goldwyn, Vincent Schiavelli, and Rick Aviles apart from Patrick Swayze. The plot centers on Sam Wheat (Swayze), a murdered banker, whose ghost sets out to save his girlfriend, Molly Jensen (Moore), from the person who killed him – through the help of the psychic Oda Mae Brown (Goldberg).

    Meanwhile, the actor is awaiting the release of Magic Mike’s Last Dance in which he will be reprising his role as the lead. This will be his third Magic Mike franchise film, this time with Salma Hayek as his co-star. The film is slated for release in February.

  • Former UFC champion Conor McGregor to star in ‘Road House’ remake

    By Express News Service

    Former UFC champion Conor McGregor is all set to make his professional film debut with Prime Video’s remake of the 1989 Patrick Swayze action film Road House. He’ll reportedly co-star in the film opposite Jake Gyllenhaal. He’ll add to a wider cast that also features Billy Magnussen, Daniela Melchior, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Lukas Gage, Hannah Love Lanier, Travis Van Winkle, B.K. Cannon, Arturo Castro, Dominique Columbus, Beau Knapp, and Bob Menery.

    Road House was a beloved action film starring Swayze as a new bouncer at an unruly bar in Missouri. Prime Video’s reimagining will see Gyllenhaal taking up Swayze’s mantle as he plays a former UFC fighter turned bouncer who works at a roadhouse in the Florida Keys. After some time there, he realizes that the Tropical Paradise isn’t as idyllic as it seemed. Production will begin later this month in the Dominican Republic en route to a worldwide release. All that’s known about McGregor’s character so far is that he’s not playing himself in a cameo role, but will instead appear as an original character.
