UPDATE: NY Magazine reports Jerry Bruckheimer found a way to include Maverick in the long awaited Top Gun sequel. Cruise shall reprise + retain lead role as Maverick. Paramount thus made offers to producer Bruckheimer, screen-writer Christopher McQuarrie (accepted ofer), and director Tony Scott (accepted offer).
The long awaited Top Gun Sequel is ready for take-off... Top Gun 2 Update: Tom Cruise Would Play Lead Role, Says Christopher McQuarrie -- Vulture OLD NEWS: ***JERRY BRUCKHEIMER (MTV movie news)***** “We tried to develop [a sequel] and we couldn’t do it…then Tom [Cruise] took it...he tried to develop something...We were recently approached again...nothing yet...We kicked around some ideas because the aviation community has completely changed...So we have to find a way in and how to incorporate the Maverick character...” ***SPOILER ALERT*** Plans in the 80s were set for a sequel with Mavererick as Instructor. The original movie hinted this at the end (Jukebox) scene. The scene began with a blue "Top Gun" baseball cap sitting atop a bar counter; a cap also worn by Instructors, e.g. Viper. To those at Comic Con, you can visit that Top Gun bar (Jukebox & Goose's piano) close to the convention at Kansas City Barbeque - Top Gun Bar . Sequel plans (back in the 80s) had Maverick tussling with a new hotshot student in new jets (bring-on the toys)! The new student is slated to be even cockier. This new pilot is further slated to be a beautiful young female. Questions arose, who will be that young female student? {Vanessa Hudgens: My vote for her, all grown, finessing the role of student beautifully...} Last edited by Tuskegee Joe; 12-13-2010 at 07:52 PM.. |

Jerry Bruckheimer Confirms ‘Top Gun 2′ Discussions - Screen Rant
“We tried to develop [a sequel] and we couldn’t do it…then Tom [Cruise] took it over and he tried to develop something and it never quite happened. We were recently approached again to start talking about it but, you know, nothing yet...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.”

Hands down this was my favorite movie as a kid... I always wondered if a sequel would come. But to be honest, it's just not a movie to be redone or given a sequel. I know, it's an amazing concept having a stand alone movie and all. Imagine that, huh? You mean a good movie that didn't require a sequel or in need of a reboot. But with Hollywood pretty much clean out of original ways to market new movies, it only makes sense that they burn this title, too.
I like Bruckheimer's work. And he said it himself... There's just no way to do it and do it right. Hence why we never got a sequel or reboot. Hopefully he doesn't sell out the name and let someone else rape it. If you want a Top Gun "sequel" or the likes, watch The Guardian (2006/I). It's basically the same story but with the less glorified Coast Guard SAR swimmers. Ashton Kutcher plays the "Maverick" character with Kevin Costner as the old school "Viper" character that whips the younger into shape.

I think it's an excellent idea. Except it should be about tanks that are driven by fish.

Why don't they make a kick ass Jet fighter movie and not call it Top Gun?
That would be cool. I can't stand Tom Cruise of Jerry Bruckheimer.

I'm excited.
Cruise has only acted twice in his life ('Tropic Thunder' and 'Magnolia') and Bruckheimer has enough money to at least not skimp on special effects. but I do love 'Top Gun.'

Have Maverick go rogue off an aircraft carrier because Charlie got killed on 9/11 and have him discover the Chinese did it and he flies through trenches to find the weak spot of the chinese motherland and shoot it with a sidewinder and blow it up. All the while saying "Hey you Alien assholes!! I'm baaack!!!"
