Ronda Rousey to star in remake of 1989 cult classic 'Road House'
By Adam Silverstein | Staff Writer
September 9, 2015 5:44 pm ET
Ronda Rousey has made plenty of fans as the most dominant fighter on the planet, and with legitimate opponents dwindling, continues to ensure she has a successful post-octagon career.
Rousey confirmed Wednesday that she will continue her (to this point successful) acting career by playing the lead (made famous by Patrick Swayze) in the remake of Road House, the 1989 cult classic about a bouncer hired to tame a rowdy bar.
"It is a great honor to play a part in celebrating the life of a man that inspired so many. I couldn't be more grateful to have this opportunity to pay respect to the beloved Patrick Swayze," she wrote on Twitter. "I promise to work incessantly to make sure this project is a tribute his family and fans can be proud of."
Variety, which first reported Rousey's role, notes that production on the film will begin in 2016. Rousey reportedly "reached out to Swayze's widow, Lisa Niemi, to ask for her blessing, which Niemi gladly gave."

And I had not yet gotten past my disgust in order to properly carry on a civil deliberation regarding the artistic vandalism that this would perpetrate upon the legacy of Patrick Swayze's greatness.

They'd be better off just not remaking it

I get that we're trying to be all gender neutral and what not these days, but this just won't work.

I don't like it because she's a pretty horrible actress

at least from what I saw in Fast 7. I mean awful. Just awful.
She can fight though, but that's it.
A badass woman who can act in a remake of that movie would be fine but I have no idea who that could be.

That they are calling it a remake instead of a long delayed squeal is what really makes me cringe. Why not make a new story, where she is Dalton's daughter?
