Hathaway will instead portray the owner and engineer of a racing team. Cruise will reprise his role as the NASCAR driver who sought to establish himself in the competition while facing rival racers.
Jonathan Levine will direct, with Will Staples writing the screenplay. Cruise will also produce alongside Tommy Harper and Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the original film. The new production will be filmed for IMAX in an effort to bring the spectacle of racing to the big screen.
