Top Gun 2: The fim will definitely happen and Tom Cruise will return as Maverick. Producer says that there is no Top Gun without Maverick.
Top Gun 2 will definitely happen, and Tom Cruise will return to one of his most famous roles of Maverick. The original movie, which is directed by the late, great Tony Scott is 30 years old next year, and at their Berlin press conference for the upcoming Terminator Genisys, which opens on Friday, Skydance‘s David Ellison and Dana Goldberg were asked about Top Gun 2. Skydance will produce the sequel, along with Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the fantastic original.
David Ellison said: “Absolutely. I started flying aerobatics when I was thirteen years old, actually me and my dad took my first lesson on my thirteenth birthday. By the time I was seventeen, I was flying air shows and have thousands of hours flying surface level aerobatics. I absolutely love it. I’ve got three hundred skydives, used to sky surf until that put me in the hospital really badly so I thought maybe let’s not do that anymore, but love aviation, and Top Gun definitely fits into the seminal movie of my childhood, and as a pilot, that is really the movie. Justin Marks is writing the screenplay right now. He has a phenomenal take to really update that world for what fighter pilots in the Navy has turned into today. There is an amazing role for Maverick in the movie and there is no Top Gun without Maverick, and it is going to be Maverick playing Maverick. It is I don’t think what people are going to expect, and we are very, very hopeful that we get to make the movie very soon. But like all things, it all comes down to the script, and Justin is writing as we speak.”
The slight bad news is that Ellison wants to film the film in 3D. He continued:
“Absolutely, I think this is a movie that should be in 3-D and in IMAX, and again something that you can shoot practically. As everyone knows with Tom, he is 100% going to want to be in those airplanes shooting it practically. When you look at the world of dogfighting, what’s interesting about it is that it’s not a world that exists to the same degree when the original movie came out. This world has not been explored. It is very much a world we live in today where it’s drone technology and fifth generation fighters are really what the United States Navy is calling the last man-made fighter that we’re actually going to produce so it’s really exploring the end of an era of dogfighting and fighter pilots and what that culture is today are all fun things that we’re gonna get to dive into in this movie.”
We’re so excited for this. Let’s remind ourselves of the opening scene from the first classic movie. Rent Top Gun and over 80,000 films and TV Series at CinemaParadiso.co.uk. I want to be Maverick so much.
