35 years later, Jours de Tonnerre 2 is currently being considered.
In 2022, Tom Cruise resurrected Top Gun with a hell of a lot of money to boot. So the star of Mission: Impossible would have the idea of making another sequel to one of his cult films from the 80s: Days of Thunder !
Car film par excellence, released in the summer of 1990 and directed by Tony Scott, Tom Cruise He plays Cole Trickle, a young NASCAR driver with a string of exploits on American ovals.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tom Cruise is currently in discussions with Paramount to possibly make Days of Thunder 2. The project has not yet received the official green light, but the star is reportedly very interested in the idea. “He's talking to Paramount about Top Gun 3 and of Days of Thunder 2“ a studio source tells the Hollywood Reporter. “It will first depend on the scenario. It will depend on the idea and, ultimately, the scenario“.
As for Top Gunit would then be necessary to find a director capable of taking over from the late Tony Scott. It remains to be seen whether Nicole Kidman could also be back on the circuit. We remember that it is precisely on this film that Tom Cruise And Nicole Kidman met, to form the most glamorous couple of the 1990s.
A few months ago, Tom Cruise had nipped in the bud the idea of Paramount which wanted to decline Days of Thunder in a television series. Proof that the actor did not want to lose control of the film.
