Will A New TOP GUN Movie Ride Into The Danger Zone?? Tom Cruise Says Not (With Him, At Least...)
Merrick here...
Absolute Radio in the UK had a brief chat with Tom Cruise in which the recently rumored TOP GUN sequel was discussed. The entire interview is HERE, but a pertinent clip can be seen via the embed below...
This is interesting as Jerry Bruckheimer recently indicated that at least some discussion reagrding a sequel had taken place (deatils HERE). Taking Tom and Jerry at face value, and to reconcile their apparently disparate comments, what I'm guessing is that a proposed TOP GUN project would not actually be a sequel. Most likely they're looking at a remake/reinvention?
It's also feasible that the whole notion has simply bellied up, and Maverick, a pudgy Ice Man, and zombie Goose will never fly again.

that is all.

Ate my neighbors...? (I got nothing.)

If it is dead, then this just means that everyone who is so far back in the closet they're in Narnia will just have to keep watching Spartacus : Blood and Sand whilst touching themselves.
-
Thanks sweetie.

Gayest. Movie. Ever (that isn't 300).
-
Top Gun is a horrible, vile ad for the US Army, but since then Tom Cruise has really gotten into his politics - ie with LIONS FOR LAMBS and VALKYRIE - I was looking forward to a sequel that somehow turned the meaning of the first one on its head. Never mind.
-
Jester's dead! Great balls o' fire!
Shia Lebooof: Maverick
Michael Cera: Goose
Zac Efron: Iceman
Fergie: Charlie
Zac Galifianakis: the wacky neighbor
There, I've properly cast this for the current era (according to studio dictum.)
-
that's a little too on the nose dontcha think? :P
-
Nothing against RDJ, but Cruise should have been Tony Stark. I guarantee Iron Man would have been infinitely more awesome.
-
The military is moving to drones and away from pilots. But drones are predictable and ultimately they need the most unpredictable, rouge pilot they can find. Maverick is an instructor now, and he is training his new protege who he thinks would be perfect for this mission. Maverick pushes him to be more and more unpredictable until he pushses him too far, and gets the kid killed, bringing back memories of Goose. And then Maverick must do it himself. Honestly, tell me that isn't a story worth telling?
-
Should be about a new character, being sent to top gun, maybe include Maverick with Cruise reprising his role as one of the instructors in a supporting role.
-
as does the 21st Century Kelly McGillis. Cyanide...it makes the night tolerable.
-
Well, hey, let's just toss in Robert Pattison as Slider. And once again, no one will be able to explain how Maverick and Goose win the volleyball game.
-
That interests me a hell of a lot more than a Top Gun 2.
-
Goose was resuscitated by a doctor at a Chicago ER, who was drained of his lifeforce by the "Zombie" Goose.
Iceman has been holed up in a twinkie factory all these years, fearing a volleyball rematch.
-
Dude's packed it on. Val, seriously, the Brando impression is impeccable...you can stop now.
-
This is him not wanting to say much.
OR
He's an idiot lol. This is one HUGE chance to bring his name back, if done right! -
Are you saying Top Gun is clarified chicken fat?
-
Chris Evans as the new Iceman. I'm pumped.
-
Vaseline, that is.

*Kiss*

And have Charlie Sheen as Topper Harley. I will not take the movie any less seriously.

Hollywood will make a good movie about modern air combat

When monkeys fly outa my ass.

When Maverick dies in a crash, his consciousness magically transfers into his iPhone. Now, assisted by the crazy computer program he has now become a group of crazy high school kids are recruited by the military to control a fleet of predator drones dropping bombs on villages in Afghanistan.
-
Cruise was good, as usual. Edwards and Kilmer were fine, even Ironside and Skerritt...but since the DOD scraped the F-14, whats the point? The Tomcats were the real stars of that movie. What are they gonna use...the Hornet? YAWN.
-
You can't make a credible Top Gun movie about dropping smart bombs on mud shacks.
Top Gun should be allowed to die with dignity. -
The guvermint needs a big-budget hollywood spectacle to get everybody excited about the new F-35.
The question really is, who the heck would they be dogfighting?!?!
As a stealth-fighter-bomber, the F-35 is designed to never end up in a dogfight. It either drops bombs on mud huts, evades radar completely, or eliminates air-to-air threats long before they make visual contact.
Dumb dumb dumb.
The only was a new Top Gun would make any sense would be if it was a period piece. -
Maverick takes his talents deep into the "Danger Zone"
-
he is nutty but i just watched numerous of his 80s movies and .... he was excellent in the Stone Vietnam movie.
-
on Star In A Reasonably-Priced Car challenege
-
It's about NAVAL aviators. Naval, as in THE FUCKING NAVY. Wow, some people excel at stupidity.
-
Seriously. I saw someone ask on imdb once why there is such an age difference between Will and Chuckie in Good Will Hunting, because of Affleck's line "I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and I'll be fifty, and I'll still be doing this shit." I guess to quote another line from GWH, "Fucking people baffle me."
-
You heard me! I threw the challenge out there! Your turn Hollywood!
-
i know its easy as breathing to hate on him but frankly... he owned in the stone vietnam movie.
-
I work for the Pentagon and I can tell you that a new Top Gun movie wouldn't be credible using MANNED fighters. For the first time in hisory, this year, the US Air Force will buy more remotely-operated Predator combat drones than manned fighters. And we're using young video gamers to fly them. They're the new Top Guns. And there's your sequel.

I'd definately pay to see a drones-version of TOP GUN. If flying drones is like playing videogames, it sounds like ACE COMBAT, which is the best video game series of all time.
Maverick: Shia Leboof
Goose: Michael Cera
Charlie: Scarlett Johannson
Iceman: Ryan Reynolds
Slider: Chris Evans
"I'd Buy that for a Dollar!" -
What the fuck is a drone?
-
Kuato, U must be living in a cave. THIS is a drone. http://tinyurl.com/37tkhnf

Thx Zeke. Yeah, I remember EAGLE EYE had that Reaper drone. But tha shit was totally unrealistic. You know, when it flew through the tunnel? If they're going to re-do TOP GUN, it might as well be with drones. They kick ass and are remote controlled. I saw a dude at Comic-Con selling toy RC versions but no missiles on them. What a bastard. Still bought one tho.
-
The follow-on to "Top Gun" should speak to the changing face of modern air warfare. Bye-bye manned attack fighters, hello drones. Drones fly in uncontested airspace (e.g. places where we own the air). They fire air-to-ground missiles at terrorists. And the operators sit behind computer consoles as they attack via remote control. It's like watching someone else play a video game. So to make a movie like this, you'd have to find a way to make flying a drone interesting. Making that look cool is a hard nut to crack. Maybe that's why nobody's been able to do it yet. And no, "Stealth" doesn't count!!
-
pls dont even bring up Stealth. that movie sucked ass. that's one of those movies where the trailer rocked, then you show up in the theater and you're blindsided by how different the movie was from the trailer. movie marketers. liars! If they want to do a top gun 2 with drones that's fine
-
I joined the military when "Stealth" came out a few years ago and it was a joke back then. It's still a punchline around the office. That movie got so much wrong.
