Comment:

I thought of this after subjecting a friend of mine to the 'Cannonball Run' on DVD. He asked me about the sequel. I told him it sucked. We started talking about how cool a third one would be, with a comedy-action-Fast and the Furious kind of vibe. Here's the "cast": 1) Jackie Chan (reprising his role from the original) with his new partner, Lucy Lui. 2) Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as two white collar prison escapees, using a prison Van in the race. 3) Burt Reynolds as JJ Maclure, who is now the organizer/overseer of the race. 4) Don Cheadle and Johnny Noxville as two cops trying to bust Cannonballers. 5) Real Life friends Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Matthew Good (in his acting debut) as an expert driver and a technology expert. 6) Femme Fatale team of wrestling's Trish Stratus and E! TV's Brooke Burke. 7) Kevin Costner as a long-time Cannonballer who has never won the big prize. His semi-resentful wife (Sandra Bullock) knocks out Costner's would be partner and joins her husband in the race...and 8) Chris O'Donnell and Kate Bosworth as honeymooners who enter the race to try to get out of a debt to a thug (Henry Rollins). Would you see this movie? :)

The movie plot sounds like it was written by "The Sports Guy" on espn.com. Check out his columns that reference all kinds of popular culture that vaguely or directly reference sports. Burt Reynolds isn't doing anything else, why not CRIII?

we need this movie! it should also star quentin taratino, as a kind of sadsack 9to5-er, a la michael douglas in "falling down", only funny, who ends up accidentally in the race, but becomes obsessed with winning it.
