Jake Gyllenhaal's 'Road House' remake debuted in New York City with a tribute to Patrick Swayze on the big screen
Patrick Swayze was honored at the New York City premiere of Jake Gyllenhaal's Road House remake on Tuesday, March 19.
Swayze, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2009 at 57, starred in 1989's Road House as a bouncer at a particularly rambunctious bar in the Midwest. Gyllenhaal, 43, plays the role in the sequel. They previously worked together on the 2001 drama Donnie Darko. “I’ve been thinking back about my time working with Patrick on Donnie Darko, and rewatching this great man in the original Road House plus so many other films. I’ve never stopped being a fan,” Gyllenhaal wrote on March 3. “He was such a talent and I continue to have so much respect and admiration for what he put out and into the world. I’ll never forget his kindness to me when I was starting out — he didn’t have to take the time, but he always did.
