Director Doug Liman is in early talks direct a remake of "The Cannonball Run" for Warner Bros.
The studio was earlier in negotiations with filmmaker Rawson Thurber to helm a reboot of the "Cannonball Run" franchise, reported Variety.
Andre Morgan and Alan Gasmer are producing the movie.
The original franchise starred Burt Reynolds, Frank Sinatra, Roger Moore, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, and Dom DeLuise. The films revolved around an illegal cross-country race where the participants played dirty tricks on one another.
The first film in the franchise, "The Cannonball Run," released in 1981. "The Cannonball Run II" came in 1984 followed by "Speed Zone" (1989).
