Top Gun: Maverick

Post by disneyboy20022 »

The studio has made offers to producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott, who collaborated on the original. Tom Cruise, star of the first film, is expected to reprise his role of brash flying ace Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, but it would be a smaller role, the magazine said.

Paramount reportedly is also courting "The Usual Suspects" scribe Christopher McQuarrie to write the screenplay for "Top Gun 2."

Don't really care having never seen the first film (And I have no intentions on doing so).

If it's as blatantly homoerotic as the first one, I'm sold! David DeCoteau should move into the big budget stuff and helm this mofo.

Kilmer's gotta eat!
Skerrit's gotta eat!
Ironside's gotta eat!
Edwards' gotta eat! (that is, if Goose makes an appearance as a ghost.)

I know that it is finally in print that they are working on this project, but I have been hearing about this for several years now, and will believe it when I see it on the marquee of my local theater.

Same goes for "The Brazilian Job" that has been talked about ever since Mark Wahlberg and "The Italian Job" was such a success, and still nothing about that film.

Besides, what are they going to do with "TG2". They killed off on of the best characters in the film and everyone else has gotten a lot older and showing it.

:D

It hasn't stopped Rambo, Rocky and Indiana Jones from coming back again...(though i'd prefer the newer of those films didn't happen either :P )

Ugh... I hated the first film. It was the ultimate Reaganite wet dream. It was just like a prolongued tv spot for the US military, with a few added bits of subtle racism and sexism. In short, not a fan.

Yeah, but who would be as interested in seeing the same guys enact their... strange rituals 25 years later? There'll be a lot of wrinkles and things, perhaps, sagging.

That's the first thing that popped into my head, too. :D

It's just a bizarre trend, almost secondary to remakes in absurdity. That these older Hollywood Men's icons can't leave their old roles behind or can't just do a couple special edition DVD's and have that be the end. They feel like they have to reprise the roles to keep them verile somehow. Or they don't trust newer material to keep their careers' relevant with the class of today's hot teen / 20-something Twilight and Disney stars.

I'm sure they'll be a predominately new cast to serve whatever "rituals" the script calls for.
