Anyone else ever see THE GUMBALL RALLY starring Michael Sarazin or CANNONBALL starring David Carradine, both made in 1976, that were the same concept?

We are hearing that Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman is in early talks to take over the directing reigns of Warner Bros.’ reboot The Cannonball Run, the 1980s action comedy franchise made popular by star Burt Reynolds and director Hal Needham.
Warner Bros. production executives Jesse Ehrman and Paul Perez are overseeing the re-imagining for the studio.
Last year, Skyscraper filmmaker Rawson Marshall Thurber was in talks to direct a Cannonball Run reboot from a script by Night at the Museum scribes Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant. A deal with Thurber wasn’t reached. Word is Liman will work off of Lennon and Garant’s version with a new scribe to be announced.

These were classics. Not sure how they will even come close to this. It would end up being one of the most expensive movies if they try to get an all-star cast even remotely close to the originals.

I see Kevin Hart being attached to this. Just seems like something he'd put his name on.
