As the old quote goes, “everything that can be invented, has been invented” and it looks like we’re getting more evidence to that as Warner Bros is in talks to reboot the Cannonball Run franchise, per Deadline.
Having acquired the sequel and remake rights from the original copyright owners, Brock Yates among them, Warner Bros is in with talks with two of Reno 911‘s finest, Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant, to pen the script. In addition to being widely know for their roles as Jim Dangle and Travis Junior, respectively, the duo has written for the show as well as a number of feature films. Dodgeball director Rawson Thurber is said to be taking on directing duties.
Rebooting such a famed franchise will undoubtedly be met with mixed emotions as no one can match Burt Reynolds on the big screen, but then again it will certainly be fun seeing new life breathed into some of our favorite Cannonball characters.
