Tony Scott says he's directing TOP GUN 2: TIME TO COOK THE GOOSE
Hey folks, Harry here and the folks at WhatsPlaying claim that Tony Scott told them at the junket for UNSTOPPABLE, that he had made the decision to direct TOP GUN 2. Personally, I love the original TOP GUN, it was made before the time of Tony Scott's addiction to shakey-cam. Before the desaturation of colors. And was just a beautiful film that taught Michael Bay how to shoot everything the way he shoots it. Which is pretty. SO - who will our fighter planes be training to fight against? Hopefully, ALIENS! Yeah, they could have Tom Cruise and Will Smith as fighter pilot teachers that have to come out of retirement to fight ALIENS with their fighter pilot President. Oh wait, no. That's kinda ID4. ROBOTS! Or maybe CANADA! Yeah! An evil government in CANADA threatens to invade the United States and a firing war breaks out. Or - SUB-MARINER!!! Yeah! I don't know if the climate is necessarily conducive to a TOP GUN 2. Just kind of feels like a relic of the past to me. I would almost prefer a prequel about the young Tom Skerritt and MAVERICK's dad. How about you?

21st century Top Gun scene:<p> Wing Man: Do you have a visual?<p> Maverick (in an F-22): Don't need one.<p> Maverick launches a "beyond-visual-range" missle. Enemy Mig blows up.<p> Maverick: Gosh, that was easy. I wonder what's for lunch today...

The pilots never dogfight. They fire AMRAAM's at targets twenty miles out. Then they fly home and write a report.

It could be about the Air Force switching more to drones.

I think I had already become a genre film snob by 1985... I've watched the hell out of Tony Scott's "The Hunger" though.

A CF-35 is scrambled to intercept a Russian "Bear" bomber, but it keeps overshooting the damned thing cuz the "Bear" is a prop-driven aircraft.<p> D'oh!

and tell him to start putting a second floor on his house.
-
Say they make the bad guys the Russians. The Russian equivalent to the F-22 and the F-35 looks almost identical to, uh, the F-22 or the F-35.<p> On-screen it would look like they're fighting themselves, unless they pull a bullshit move, paint a few obsolete fighters (F-5? F-20?) black and just call them Russian. <p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_generation_jet_fighter

My guess is Bosnian rebels or something lame. Who is out there today with an Air Force/Navy to face off against?

You thought he was dead. You thought Mavrick finally moved on. You thought Mavrick wouldn't bone his best friends wife. You. Were. Wrong. Now CIA operative, code name "GOOSE" learns of his ex-wifes involvement with his former best friend (thanks to a internet sex tape), he takes to the skys to show Mavrick who is the top gun of the great blue. Helping him in this task will be his faithful side kick Gwen (played by Justin Beiber), who enlisted in the air force as a single mother out to prove she has what it takes. Directed by Michale Bay. Produced by Tony Scott. Script written by George Lucas. All explosions and visual effects done by Michale Bay on his Mac.
-
my guess would be Iran finally gets enough parts to get their ancient fleet of F-14's flight worth.

To Kelly's breasts, and I might buy a ticket.

Feelin it... China vs America in an a dog fight. It could start with the two countries signing a no nuking treating and then we can just start battling old fashion style. Bayonettes are completely okay and actually recommended.
-
...in the first one. Goose died in a training accident, right?<p> So all my jokes about any new movie being a totally one-sided fight are pretty well moot, since it was a one-sided fight in the first one anyways.<p> So go ahead, put F22s and F35s up against MIG-29s and SU-27s. Why the fuck not? Just use F-18s painted black as the enemy aircraft and awaaaaay you go!

Top Gun 2 : How Can We Get Fat Fuck Val Kilmer In A Cockpit?
by scriptgirl_nipples
-
It's set in an alternate dimension where Goose lives through the crash... actually there was no crash just lots more volleyball and shit. Meg Ryan returns for a bigger role (and bigger lips as it were). She and Goose spend lots of time drinkin' and singing at the pub and Michael Ironside takes their kid. Maverick and Ice turn and burn...then catch wind of the hostage situation. This takes them right into to the DANGER ZONE!
-
He was awesome.
-
would be a fair fight.

Bottom Goose Jr Taught by Top Gun Tom Cruise
-
Maverick, Goose and Magillis are tweakers... and so is Iceman (ala Kilmer Salt and Sea). Maverick and Goose put together a nice little run of cash and buy an old F-14 Tomcat from a scrapyard. They run drugs in and out of Miramar. We learn that Viper has been a closet Heroine addict for years... hence the line "I flew with your old man." He knows that heroine is dead and wants in on the meth action. He and Jester get a plane of their own-- T-38 trainer jet and then exclaims: I feel the need... the need for speed.
-
She's flying with God, to the DANGER ZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Lumberjacks are toughening up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph_jV7FanUc
-
in that Kelly McGillis was in both flicks. Although, she was Amish in Witness. Aw hell... close enough.<P>So that means the sequel's story would focus on the exploits of Maverick after he crash lands his F-14 in Amish country, and proceeds to convert the Amish to Scientology.<P>John Travolta co-stars as a Psychlo agent on an undercover recon mission to scope out tactical landing spots for the future Psychlo invasion.
-
and if so will her character charlie come out as a lesbian like she did in real life?
-
still the best movie song EVER!!!
-
Only if Travolta gets to say "Ain't it cool." and do his trademark forked-finger cigarette grab. In the end after a barn is raised and everyone is happy Maverick flys his F-14 through the barn and Harrison Ford shows up just in time to WITNESS it... except he's playing the same character he played in Mosquito coast. God, I miss River Phoenix.

After defeating Satan's air force, the pilots land on the deck of the Pope's aircraft carrier.<P>JESUS (points to NUN): YOU!<P>Pause for dramatic effect...<P>JESUS: You're still righteous.

Fine by me. This movie is already bat-shit insane.
-
I'm thinking we need to work Lou gosset Jr. in somehow and possibly Erin Moran. This is gonna be hot shit. I can feel it!

It's scientologist vs scanner, as Michael Ironside reprises his role as Darryl Revok from "Scanners". Watch as Maverick and his army of Xenu warriors square off against Revok and his army of scanners. It's psycho vs psychic in a battle to the death!

Maverick is an alcoholic washout, the scapegoat for the USA slaughtering a dozen Iraqi schoolchildren after mistaking their schoolbags as suicide explosives. He'll travel to Sweden, where with the help of WikiLeaks he exposes the corruption of the American military business.

Never understood that expression: "Your goose is cooked"
by Rocco Curioso
Seems a bit redundant. One generally doesn't eat poultry uncooked, as one can with fish (sushi) or beef (steak tartare). And it's not as though Anthony Edwards's plane exPLODED! (jet fuel igniting, and thus "cooking" Goose) in the original, it just fizzled out and plunged into the sea.<P>Maybe in the new movie, at the end, they can *actually* cook a goose (preferably barbecued) as an homage to Edwards's character. That would give it closure.

Let Tony Scott direct TOP GAY 2, i mean TOP GUN 2. At least that way he's not fucking up some other potentially interesting project. Hacks like Tony Scott should only make this type of movies and never venture out of their zone. tony Scott should make Top Gun movies until he dies, and Michael Bay should make Bad Boys sequels until he dies, McG should retrun to making music videos for obnoxious R&B "artists", Brett Ratner shoud return to advertizement, and Jar Jar Abrams should return TV to make dumb down TV shows and have them all flop miserably.
-
A least in the 80's the Russians were a viable enemy. Who are the Top Guns going to fight now? Will the whole movie be about how to make strafing runs on Afghan villages? "Is that a wedding party Goose?" "I don't know Mav' lets drop some 'Democracy' on em then head back to base for some homoerotic showering."
-
...the jokes write themselves, but I got too much class to elaborate further.
-
They won't be flying F-!4s. Nor F-22s as its a navy school. I guess we're stuck with those ugly as hell Super Hornets. Hopefully they'll do only real aerial photograpy and no crappy cgi planes. Who will the villains be? Some made-up ex-soviet splinter nation? Should be possible to arrange for some real Migs these days. Thpough with those missiles of today you have to wonder how they'll manage to even get those baddies into dogfight distance.

will be in TG2. Top Gun is a US Navy flight school... they'd fly the F18C Hornets, or F18E/F Rhino. The F35 may appear as it is set to replace the aging F18Cs. <P> Flight instructors fly F18s and F16s in the aggressor role. <P> No F22s

Explosive and incendiary are too mild to describe the controversy of a Top Gun exploring a genuine confrontation between the US and China. Empower the Chinese fighters with secret upgrades stolen from America. Use it as a allegory to examine if America still has what it takes to rule or are are they destined to capitulate to China. China would blow their collective canopy if a film even slightly suggested China is the real threat on the horizon.

Without Don "Coke N' Whores" Simpson providing...well, coke and whores, this production would suck ass. Then again, it would probably suck ass whether that bloated sack of dried donkey shit were alive or dead.
-
As so many have pointed out the combat aspect of this will be boring. Who are they training to fight? Can't have people going rouge and stealing jets either lest this become a retread of Iron Eagles. Instead I make this modest proposal. How about making a movie where Kilmer and Cruise are now the coaches for airplane racing teams. They are retired from the military and still competing against each other on the the professional aerosports circuit. Those pilots are still flying well into their 50's and 60's. I know it's bascally top gun + days of thunder but seriously, who cares? Top Gun and Days of Thunder are already synonymous. Might as well make a movie that combines them.
-
So no f22's which are the only cool new planes out there right now. F35 is a slow and heavy strike fighter. Its no nimble f-16. Even the heavy f14 looked cool next to it. I suppose itll probably be about the super hornet which is a 30+ year old design. And with cgi now no more faking f5's and older planes as russian or commie planes. So thats a plus. I cant see Tom do more than cameo tho...
-
Our airforce is entirely first gen f18's. All 30 year old 60 planes of it. You guys could take us out in the morning and be back for an early brunch. There just wouldnt be enough shit to blow up up here. We have all of 4 c17's transport planes. 2 to 3 of which are in maintenance at any one time. You need a bigger enemy in that script. Yes China.

The homoerotic subtext will not remain subtext, there will be several male on male rape scenes. Ironside will return this time with 4 robotic arms and he will pummel motherfuckers into submission goro-style. Maverick will be an American messiah whose need for speed redeems us all, which will actually be a thin veneer over a scathing social satire including Doogie Hauser in full S.S. gear as their strategist. There will be full frontal nudity onscreen for half the film. The other half will consist of extreme violence and/or things made of steel accelerating at inappropriate speeds. Top Gun II: Critical Cannon, box office total: $3 billion.

with F22 Raptors in place of the F16. Denzel Washington as Colonel Chappy Sinclair. Shia LaBouf as the kid pilot. Directed by either Tony Scott or Michael Bay.<P>Have it set a few years from now, where Iran captures the kid's dad. Get the Poirot dude back to play the villain, Ahmadinejad.

Superb idea, Harry!! A story set in the past with Viper and Mav's dad. Perhaps even going into the origins of the flight school. Now, THAT I'd go see!

Maverick's jet transforms mid-flight, shredding Maverick into shit. America is spared from World War III & another Mission Impossible movie.
-
Ends with a Predator taking off his helmet to reveal...Lou Gossett Jr.
-
The kind of air to air combat that was displayed in Top Gun isn't what takes place in the skies any more. So unless the story is of Maverick being the last of a dying breed, I don't know how they can tell this story. Work on something else Tony, how about a definitive F1 film, preferably not Driven or Days of Thunder? The F1 season has been amazing, the new tracks are almost lifted from Wipeout and the glitz and action would suit Tony Scott to a T.
-
How old were you guys when you saw Top Gun. 10? 12? Maybe you should watch it again objectively. It's embarrassing.
-
Even more so as they closed the real Top Gun academy down many years ago. Point and shoot. In fact you dont even have to point. In fact you dont even need pilots...
-
A prequel about Maverick's father flying in the Vietnam War would work much better. This could be a great flick if they resist the urge to use CGI. Use real planes, or don't bother.

this is either total bullshit or is going to be total bullshit.

Someone made the point about Behind Enemy Lines earlier...
by Sithtastic
and they were right. All the cliches were there to the background of Bosnia and given when the film was released, it did waaaay better than it normally would have. Still, thow in some Flight of the Intruder type espinoge angle on the ground plus a nearly suicidal mission a la the first film with a 6 on 2 engagement against MIGs or some suitable stand-in. It could work, if only for the scenes in the air.
