NONE
of the actors you two have mentioned are anywhere near as big and as famous today as the cast of the Cannonball Run were during its time.
Reynolds, Moore, Fawcett, Martin and Davis were all huge household names well known to everyone.
Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Bradley Cooper, Seth Rogen, Jamie Fox etc etc are just two bit third division names when it comes to actual stardom. None are household names everywhere. -

Actually, and you read it here first, a remake sequel is under consideration over at Warner Bros with J J McClure returning as race organiser and a mooted all-star cast being considered, to make it a true sequel to the original 2 films.

Um, a sequel wouldn't be a "remake". -

Your comment was factually correct at the time of your comment, before they made
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
, which serves as a remake of
A New Hope
, a sequel to
Return of the Jedi
and a reboot of the Star Wars franchise -

THANK YOU!!!
The film works because all of the people involved were celebs loved by the public. No egos in the film; everyone wanted to work/play around. You can tell watching it that everyone had a blast. A film like this cannot be remade, nor should it. The days are gone with a caliber cast like this. -

I agree with you that it does not need to be remade at all! If they would like to add a third installment to the franchise then this is how they do it like I mentioned above. They simply set it up where it is the children of the original Cannonballers with some of the actors and actresses of today with a lot of the main actors of the original film making appearances to bring in the fans of the original film and the new fans of today's generation. I think that would work in my opinion.

Why do a reboot when they can carry on with the franchise of the Cannonball Run? What I suggest that they do is set it up where all of the main characters got married and had children. The children take over to race in the Cannonball Run that they heard their parents talk about. Therefor having today's generation see the actors and actresses that they know about. You mix in some of the original actors of The Cannonball Run 1 and 2 so that today's generation learns about the actors of the past. I would rather see it done like that than a remake.

I can't post a link, as the news came from a friend recently who worked at Silver Pictures for a good number of years. Warner know that The Cannonball Run was a cult classic that made great box office and know that with The Fast And Furious series that car action movies make money. Apparently the idea behind it is to approach it as an 'Expendables' style cast with Reynolds returning as race organiser this time to connect to the first 2 films. That is all that Paul M. could tell me.

I agree that none of those films need to be remade.
