twobjshelbys Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Already a couple of topics with more discussion there. This is from December so it isn't new news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silversurfer Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Really? Tom Cruise! I can think of at least 10 others that would fit the part better and who would not want to be a part of this movie? If they can get T Cat then they can get somebody better. The only reason he should play the part is if Mr. Shelby was a fan, but that I smdont know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see how a 5'7" New Yorker can play a 6'2" Texan? I just don't get that decision at all. I know he has used up to 4" shoe lifts before, but that is still missing a bunch.

gtup1 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Morgan Freeman would probably play the part better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Where does it state that Cruise would be playing CS? Sure he's signed on to the project but that could mean a number of roles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he's signed on to the project but that could mean a number of roles http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1087996_tom-cruise-to-play-carroll-shelby-in-go-like-hell-movie There are many sources which state that this role will be played by Tom Cruise. They could all be wrong, but he has even said on one interview which I saw, that this is the role he is working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Canfield Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Sounds like there is still life to this movie... http://autoweek.com/article/car-life/matt-damon-will-play-carroll-shelby-upcoming-movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry muskat Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 The article i read yesterday said Cruise is out and Matt Damon is in as Carroll and Christian Bale is in as Ken Miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 But movie is not based on Baime's book. Book headed to TV. That might be good because if someone like Amazon takes the book and makes an 8-hour limited series it will be complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongoose Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Anything to do with Carroll Shelby whether a movie or a series would be very cool to watch! I have A.J. Blaime's book "Go Like Hell" and he personally autographed it for me at "Road America" during the GT-40 reunion that Ford held. Mr. Blaime was a very cool guy! Later!
