I wouldnt want to see Jessica Simpson in the movie. Jessica Alba & Jordana Brewster should be the two hot chicks driving the Lamborghini. They should get Jacky Chan back and he should drive a highly modifed Subaru WRX or a Skyline R34.
If they remake the movie they should have the fallowing cars
-Lamborghini Murcielago RGT Roadcar
-Ferrari F50 or F360/F430
-Aston Martin V-12 Vanqiush
-Porsche 911
-Rolls Royce or Bentley
-Hayabusa(Bike)
-K1 Attack(Kitcar) -

I agree with this and the original post!
Nice car choice and love those 2 chicks
Although Jessica Alba portrays a more "cute" look you'd better get a "p0rnstar" type to get the original feel, or just a "agressive" chick but i looooove jordana -

I think you could be onto something, the story should involve Burt REynolds reprising the role of JJ but this time he can be 'the famous JJ McClure who used to compete in The Cannonball Run', kinda like Dean Martin's character was 'Jamie Blake, who used to drive formula one when high button shoes were in fashion'.
Lead Character - Vince Vaughn is an excellent suggestion
'Goodyear Blimp' Sidekick - Jack Black was my initial thought too.
Seymour Goldfarb Jr. - Yep, Pierce Brosnan, faikling that, I'm sure the budget would accept Timothy Dalton (possibly for free).
Pamela Glover - Sarah Jessica Parker
Priest #1 (JJ) - Burt Reynolds
Priest #2 - Sugar Ray Leonard (i'm thinking for the biker fight at the end)
Doctor - Steve Buscemi
Lamborghini Driver #1 - Eva Longoria
Lamborghini Driver #2 - Elisha Cuthbert
Japanese Driver - Jackie Chan (now driving a Mitsubishi-Jackie's favourite car)
Foyt - Peter MacNicol
Head Biker - Danny Trejo -

LMAO Trejo as the biker is perfect!! The man is always in movies as a biker/bartender badass GREAT IDEA!!!
Also, I do like the idea of Sugar Ray for the bar fight.
In keeping with today's youth and what they love there should also be a car with MethodMan and Redman in which the car is just oozing smoke. I think it would add some comedic high spots!
All in all, a comedy of this nature would NOT be that costly and I'm imagining that it could easily crack a $100 mil at the box office.
Of course, if it's remade with with the wrong cast, you could be looking at a flop. -

JJ- Ryan Renyolds
Victor- Jack Black
Pamela: Jessica Simpson
The Doctor: Bill Murray
Seymour Goldfarb Jr.- Pierce Brosnan
Japanese Driver - Jet Lee
Head Biker- Jessie James
Priest #1- Johnny Knoxville
Priest #2 - Chris Rock
2 Hot Women driving the lamborghini: Carmen Electra and Jenny McCarthy
And at the finnish line the people who are the judges should be Burt, Dom, and Farrah.
"Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville, and we're about to test my Rocket Skates!" -

I'm sorry but Jackie Chan should reprise his old role, he's still up for it.
Jessica Simpson is NOT hot enough to play a character once played by Farrah Fawcett.
The priests need to be slightly older and Chris Rock should never be casted in any film ever!
Ryan Reynolds is a fine fine FINE choice to take a role. -

You can't remake Cannonball Run. It can never happen. The casting was too perfect. The only way you can do a remake, is kinda make a cannonball run 4 (Speed zone with John Candy is technically part 3). You take all new people, and put them in an updated race. By having new characters, you create new situations and stunts. Also you can't help but make the movie somewhat like the original. I mean going back and forth to each car and having each person add their own schick to the movie would make it better than just trying to capture lighting in a bottle twice. Also throw in cameos by any of the surviving original cast.
And just something to throw in there casting-wise: Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall as two NASCAR loving rednecks in a pickup truck. -

A mixture of the new and old would work, but not different actors playing the original roles. Havent you guys seen sequels where they have the same charactor, but a different actor? They never work. So if any of the originals where interested in reprising the role then use them, but dont try and use the same roles for new actors, if Vince Vaughn was in it, make a new charactor, not take over the role of J.J. And the movie does not need to be remade, part 4 would good enough. (and lay off part 3, it was a decent film, just because it didnt have the cast of the last 2 didnt mean it wasnt worth watching)
Japanese Team: Jet Li & Jackie Chan
Jackie had a diffrent partner in each race anyway, and seeing those 2 together would be great.
And while where at it, lets add some cars to really make it stand out.
The General Lee, Starsky & Hutches car, The A-Team Van, Herbie The Love Bug, Knight Rider why go for new actors? Why not make it a "Where have you guys been?' cannonball? Get Shnieder and whats his name to drive the Charger, and the original Starsky & Hutch ..etc.. and then put the new actors who are doing the remakes in the mix aswell? -

Wow I like that idea I can imagine selling 50 million worth of tickets alone of they had Mr T and Murdoch in the van or Chris Lloyd in the BTTF car. I don't know about Herbie, but that would be a nolstalgia buff's dream. I could actually see Ben Stiller pulling this type of movie off with Owen and the gang. That would make so much money.
"I'd buy that for a dollar!!"
