Vasquez-Imagn Images Excitement crept into the air when reports of a Hollywood writer visiting NASCAR races emerged this week. The goal of the visits was to meet teams and drivers to develop a sequel to the blockbuster film Days of Thunder .
After several years of talk, this step appears to be a concrete move towards actually making the film. Kyle Busch, however, has words of caution for those expecting a stellar movie like the first one. The two-time Cup Series Champion said ahead of the race this Sunday in Las Vegas, “You’ve got to be careful with it, right?
“Because the first one was so good, you don’t want to screw up the second one. It’s always hard to come back with a better second chance at making a movie. ” Busch admitted to not knowing how much NASCAR was involved in the process.
However, he does appear to have spoken with this mysterious writer a couple of times and discussed ideas for the second film. The Sports Business Journal reported that people familiar with the matter have identified the writer as Will Staples. Staples played a key role in crafting Without Remorse , a hit film starring Michael B.
Jordan. He also contributed to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 video game. Is he the right person to spin a tale worthy of the first?
