Tom Cruise Revs Up Plans for a Days of Thunder Sequel with Paramount

Tom Cruise is making waves in Hollywood once again, as he explores the possibility of a sequel to his beloved racing film, Days of Thunder. Released in 1990, this movie didn’t exactly dominate the box office or receive critical acclaim, yet it holds a special place in the hearts of many fans. With the success of “Top Gun: Maverick,” Cruise seems to believe that lightning can strike twice, and that there’s a chance to revitalize this NASCAR classic. The conversation with Paramount is still in its infancy, focusing heavily on the script. Major factors impacting the project include the ideas presented by potential writers, as well as Cruise’s busy schedule. This year alone, he is gearing up to work with acclaimed filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu, developing a movie for Universal set in space, and also planning a sequel to Top Gun. The urgency lies in getting the right creative vision in place to determine which project will move forward first.
