The casting director needs to be shot.... Matt Damon as Carroll Shelby, what a joke! Typical Hollyweird garbage film I'm betting.

No Tom Cruise? Don't make bib coveralls in children's sizes? Damon says if not a hit he's moving to Italy and buying a Ferrari! Sorry, couldn't resist...

Whoever did the casting missed the mark by a country mile. Politics not withstanding, Damon is a terrible choice by any measure.

So this movie is no longer AJ Baime's "Go Like Hell". The book was to be made into this movie, but the script for this movie is from other sources. Go Like Hell is supposedly going to be a "made for TV" show, but that's not so bad because if someone like Netflix or Amazon pick it up they have already shown they can take a book (e.g., The Alienist) and make a limited series (we used to call them mini-series) that gives a book a good adaptation. A 2 hour movie would miss so much of the book.

I would suggest Josh Brolin to play Carroll Shelby. He has the look and accent.

I really like Steven's idea of Tommy Lee Jones for the middle age to senior Shelby. Tommy Lee could bring a lot to the role and I believe do a very credible and entertaining Shelby.

I am still pretty much undecided on the young Shelby.

Too short by the better part of a foot, and nowadays too weathered.

I love Tommy Lee but can't see him as the gregarious CS.

I can't wait for the movie though!

He's taller than Matt Damon and as for weathering, that's what they have makeup artists for.

I'm really tired of Tommy Lee's rapid fire monotone in every single role he plays, but with the right makeup, some squinting and maybe a bit of CG, he just might be able to pull of a passable Carroll Shelby. Matt Damon - wth are they thinking?

Maybe. I remember my reaction when they announced Michael Keaton as Batman. Beetle Juice??!!
Turned out he wasn't all that bad in the end.

From guys gone by, I'd nominate Jim Garner or Robert Mitchum.

Garner was my choice too, plus he's a pretty decent driver. They waited too long.

Didn't Garner play a role loosely based on CS in one of his old movies?

I think I should play Shelby and let me keep the prop cars, including the Ferraris. So what if my acting sucks, all I gotta say is "welllllll and not realllly" like a Texan...
