Estrenada en 1990, 'Días de trueno' supuso el reencuentro entre Cruise y Tony Scott, director de 'Top Gun'. En la película, el actor interpreta a Cole Trickle, un piloto estrella de la NASCAR. Completan el reparto, junto a Cruise y Kidman, Robert Duvall, Cary Elwes o Randy Quaid, entre otros.

Overview

  • This week multiple outlets reported that Paramount has returned to negotiations on a Days of Thunder sequel with Jonathan Levine in talks to direct and Tom Cruise expected to reprise his role.
  • Tom Cruise is reported to be producing the project alongside Jerry Bruckheimer while Will Staples is credited as the screenwriter.
  • No substantive plot details, production timeline, casting beyond Cruise, or financing have been released, so the project remains at the attachment and negotiation stage.
  • The original Days of Thunder was released in 1990, directed by Tony Scott and starring Cruise as NASCAR driver Cole Trickle, and the sequel would join a recent wave of legacy follow-ups for the studio.
  • Because the reporting comes from trades rather than a studio announcement, next steps to watch are formal confirmation from Paramount, casting news, and any revealed story direction or schedule.
