While sharing a name and premise with the 1989 Patrick Swayze film of the same name, the recently released reimagining of Road House also differs in several ways from its predecessor.
One of the ways in which the film offers a different experience to the original is through its use of music, with director Doug Liman explaining that he wanted to bring a unique feel to the film’s soundtrack.
“The story being set in the Florida Keys gave us a geographical perspective, and we wanted the music to be organic and authentic,” he said. “I wanted Randy [Poster, music supervisor] to find the types of bands that would actually play at a venue like the Road House.
Poster added: “We went to New Orleans and recorded three bands down there. All the bands on camera recorded their own music and played live when the scene demanded it.
“Doug gave me the freedom to lean into the music, and the parameters and the mission he gave me were clear: this is not your standard background use of live music; the bands are incorporated into the action.”
