Dalton To Rip Out Somebody's Throat Again In "Road House" Remake

Road House is a guilty pleasure. It's cheesy. It's corny. It's badass.
It was the late 80's, so lines like "Pain don't hurt." & "I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice.", gave you goosbumps and were quoted to your teachers under your breath. When Patrick Swayze aka Dalton ended up ripping a man's throat out during a fight scene you didn't question the logistics of it you simply celebrated the badassery. Now MGM wants you to enjoy the table smashing, throat mashing, bar battle royal all over again.
Rob Cohen (The Fast And The Furious) has been hand the camera to shoot the Michael Stokes script is a reimagining of the original about a bouncer with an indecipherable past who is hired to wage against the dunker population in a small town Missouri bar.
I can see Dwayne Johnson taking on this roll but he might be a little too intimidating. Might need somebody like Chris Pine or Jeremy Renner in the role to sell it.
