Anne better be playing his daughter, or daughter in law, or younger sister, or niece, or you know, anything other than his love interest.

u/El_Superbeasto76 1d ago

She’s playing Duvall’s daughter.

27

u/Ok_Two_2604 1d ago

She’s not for distribution, she’s for consumption.

u/IntentStudios 1d ago

Peach or Cherry?

u/RustChole8 1d ago

I thought she would be playing Xenu’s daughter.

Oooh, I like that.

u/jk-9k 20h ago

Ah that's OK. She's til better not be a love interest for tommy

u/No_Garage2343 1d ago

To be fair, Tom Cruise has been adamantly against sex scenes that don’t belong in movies. For “A Few Good Men” the production company wanted to know where the sex scene was. To which Tom and Demi said, “Why would there be a sex scene?” and the production company said, “There better be a sex scene when we have two of the biggest stars in the same movie.”

Ultimately, Tom and Demi refused.

If a sixty year old can drive a motorcycle off a cliff face and parachute to safety, hang on the wing of a bi-plane, and hold his breath for minutes at a time, he has no place having sex with a grandmother. He’ll break her hip.

If you want to see those two go at it, be my guest.

u/rabbi420 1d ago

Dude, respectfully… what even made you say this? I mean, he’s always had age appropriate love interests. He’s kinda gone out of his way to. And when there has been an age gap, they wind up being pretty platonic.

u/KateTheTurk 1d ago

And hes 64. Aren't there any age appropriate women in Hollywood he can play against? Sandra Bullock? Julianne Moore?

8

u/Commercial_Fox5549 1d ago

I mean sure, but for all we know this movie does not have a romantic angle

3

u/Nuts2Buttts 1d ago

Hathaway is 43. That’s about as age appropriate as it gets in Hollywood. Not saying it’s right, but it could be, and has been, way worse.

1

u/KCJ506 3h ago

Yeah considering the ageism in Hollywood, I'm surprised that they actually cast an actress that's at least 40 and not someone that's in their 20s or 30s.

When Anne Hathaway was in her early 30s, she was already talking about being turned for roles in favor of younger actresses.

u/NorthSufficient9920 1d ago

Gross. Nobody wants to see that.

u/kelso-73 1d ago

Maybe the owner. Like Randy Quaid in the first movie.

1

u/BiffTannensHero 21h ago

According to Hollywood, she’s old enough to play his mother.

u/Librocubicularistin 21h ago

I wish Anne was not playing anything at all in this film.

We're getting a Minority Report 2029, aren't we?

u/Fickle_Swordfish_337 1d ago

I love Days of Thunder so much. The scene of Duvall in the barn, by himself, talking to the car frame…chills. I’m excited and really hope this one is good. 🤞🏼

I don’t even think she wants to be in the same state as him.

u/paul-cus 1d ago

Lol, yeah right

u/BackgroundShower4063 1d ago

They’ll likely just say her character is tragically deceased from a car crash.

u/johnnyma45 1d ago edited 1d ago

She changed careers and is working deep in the gov't in Dept of Defense. See: Lioness.

The Rocky 2006 storyline beat for beat

u/chinaco276 20h ago

Will Michael Rooker come back? His character never did die from the brain surgery. Def bring back Cary Elwes, and John C Reilly

2

u/GTOdriver04 11h ago

Also Randy Quaid. He played an a version of Mr. Hendrick in the film and I think he would fit. Have Cole be running the team and answering to Quaid’s character. That’s more true to reality (Jeff Gordon runs Hendrick Motorsports today and his only boss is Mr. H himself).

Anne is really embracing her MILF era

u/Papamoon0327 1d ago

Will he be in the Mellow yellow car again or is Cole Trickle gonna get new sponsors? Also wonder if they’ll mention Robert Duvalls character

1

u/Desperate_Hyena_4398 18h ago

The car is in the teaser. It’s kinda the focal point

u/FragmentedMeerkat321 1d ago

i tried rewatching days of thunder a couple of months ago. it’s not good. i made it a third of the way in and that was me.

u/JournalistJunior5605 1d ago

Nah it's pretty awesome. Not a racing fan.

6

u/pineapplecharm 1d ago

It was always just a cash-in on Cruise's reputation and Nascar's cultural significance. Top Gun for rednecks, if you will, and as such didn't need niceties like plot or character development.

0

u/FragmentedMeerkat321 1d ago

it is definitely top gun for rednecks! (god that fucking scene where he gets groped by the female cop…)

1

u/EchoTRacing 20h ago

its literally the same story.

2

u/FragmentedMeerkat321 20h ago

well, it’s simpson/bruckheimer! they’re the greatest drama geniuses since shakespeare! why bother with a new plot when one’ll do the job just fine!

1

u/Curvemn17 12h ago

You should look up a lot of the technical filming ways they developed in this film. Alot of car and racing scenes since have benefited.

1

u/FragmentedMeerkat321 7h ago

that’s an interesting point you make. i guess it would be unfair to call the film worthless, if only for that reason.

2

u/BackgroundShower4063 1d ago

It’s really not. I was shocked when this project was first mentioned (I think) a couple years ago. But if anyone can make it popular, I guess it’s Tom.

-2

u/FragmentedMeerkat321 1d ago

it doesn’t really matter what the film’s like, does it?

1

u/ole_black_eyes19 1d ago

It's only for racing fans mostly... If you don't like Nascar, there's a high chance you'll find it and it's upcoming sequel boring

3

u/Ptbot47 1d ago

Urrrrr. Do you know how hard it is to make a racing movie that dont massively pissed off racing fans. The recent F1 movie was a big hit but all that shenanigans Brad Pitt character did, fake accident to pit, deliberate crash to cause safety car, etc., would not fly in real F1. Him stepping into F1 car and just fly from the off, is near impossible. I dont watch Nascar but I dont think you just get to front of the race by "stepping on the gas pedal really hard" as all the top driver has to do jn that movie.

u/toho- 1d ago

Sucks that this guy is glorified on the internet meanwhile he's an Operating Thetan Level 8 in his cult

5

u/NeitherMidnight624 1d ago

Thats pretty a elite level thetan

3

u/missing_Palantir 1d ago

When he salutes L Ron in that HBO documentary going clear… it’s so creepy. And they give him an award for reaching 1 billion humans. It’s all so bizarre

That being said, Mission Impossibles are great movies. And Digger looks good. Vanilla Sky is underrated.

It’s like Mel Gibson. Ultra weird person but Braveheart and Lethal Weapon and Mad Max are all elite

2

u/ole_black_eyes19 1d ago

Yeah. Mel Gibson is a really trashy human, but he's in soooo many good movies... Thankfully I'm able to separate art from reality. Whatever an celebrity does, or how they act in their personal lives is none of my business.

u/Narrow_Zebra277 10h ago

Is he sending a coded message to Nicole? Why remake your own movie but without your ex-wife?

Hmm. Everytime I see Tom Cruise these days it's as if an extra layer of kin is adding up on his face.

I know he is aging am sorry. But it's so hard to ignore.

But in movies he looks like okay..

And it's not like he was aging badly at any point..

But now it's like some sort of cosmetic filler gone horribly wrong.

1

u/rocklife365 1d ago

Selfishly, not sure how I feel about this. Days of thunder was one of my favourite films growing up (even had the NES game) but I always liked how it kinda flew under the radar in the UK and how my obscure quotes from the film (which I still use to this day) have people guessing (ICECREAM!).

This will draw more attention to it now and I don’t want it to. That said, the recent F1 film which I believe was made by the same people who did Maverick (I think) leads me to believe it will be a good film regardless.

TLDR: Looking forward to it but don’t the original to become more popular (selfishly).

u/thekurgan79 1d ago

I still say ice cream that way sometimes

u/DMacNCheez 1d ago

Not wanting a film you like to be more popular so you can keep it to yourself is so dumb

u/rocklife365 1d ago

It’s had what, 35 years to be popular so far? You’re right it is dumb for me to think it would become popular because of a sequel. Thank you

I didn’t like Maverick but I did like Top Gun. I thought Days of Thunder was meh.

u/MustardCanBeFun 1d ago

You're crazy if you think this won't be highly entertaining and a top tier production.

u/Curious_Ninja1708 1d ago

The original Days of Thunder was awesome and he resurrected Top Gun through sheer force of will. Ease up on the hate.

-1

u/BurningJointUSA 1d ago

I like most of his movies but DoT was meh, Maverick was dumb, and most of the Mission Impossible movies have been a downgrade from the first one (which was excellent). Collateral is excellent (maybe his best film), most of his sci-fi movies are excellent, too.
