Remember the days full of sunglasses and shirtless volleyball playing? Those were the days. Well, how about going back to them? Mmm yes, I’m serious. Apparently, Jerry Bruckheimer and Tom Cruise are talking about a possibly making a Top Gun 2.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer tells MTV that there have been attempts in the past to get a Top Gun sequel done. Cruise was even actually involved at some point, but it never quite happened.
Now though, Bruckheimer says interest in a Top Gun 2 has been renewed. After being recently approached about the possibility of a sequel he explains, “We kicked around some ideas because the aviation community has completely changed since we made the movie a long time ago. So we have to find a way in and how to incorporate the Maverick character into it.”
Wow. Talk about flashbacks. I adore Top Gun. It’s one of those movies that every man HAS to see. If you’ve never seen it, you ned to get on it ASAP. But going back that material? I just don’t know. I won’t lie, I’m intrigued and a little excited at the idea of revisiting Top Gun with Cruise back on the lead. But what possible story could you do that could work? Isn’t Cruise too old to be a fighter pilot? Hasn’t the aviation industry changed a lot the last 25 years? I wouldn’t want it to be just a cheesy overworked plot that puts him training now a younger generation. That’s just not worth the time and effort, at least for me. We’ll see…
What do you guys think?
