'Days of Thunder' Sequel with Tom Cruise Gets Update from Jeff Gordon

Along with his death-defying stunts, Tom Cruise has recently become an expert at creating sequels that achieve more than just nostalgia bait and even surpass the originals. This has happened throughout his evolution in the Mission: Impossible film series and most spectacularly with the box office success of Top Gun: Maverick. The actor has played a massive role in revitalizing the theatrical experience by helping to create immersive stories whose production value and breathtaking sequences are best seen on a giant screen. It now seems that Cruise has his eyes set on his 1990 film Days of Thunder as the next potential story to revisit from a modern perspective.
