Tom Cruise Top Gun 2 is coming

Skybird · 12-08-11, 06:03 PM

Oh dear - terribly cheesy it was, but still: that old movie, the mood and attitude it transported, was part of my late youth for sure (to the disgust of my mentor, teacher and trainer, who hated it

). Just listen to the music and give your breath away...

But I am against a second part now. Just let it rest in peace. So often in film business it shows afterwards that it was no good idea to try revitalising that old dead body.

And please - finally skip that terrible 3D hysteria. Pleeeeaaaazzzzze. At best it means othing to me. At worst it dominates the way they style the film, and the effects then take dominance over story telling - to a much worse degree than you see it already in SFX-heavy movies like Star Wars 1-3.

So somebody's lying

and Tom's a scatologist, err - sorry, scientologist and so surely doesn't deal with such bullscat.

I know, I read that too. So either he was lying then, or somebody is lying now - is my point

No Tom Cruise please. I can't get past him jumping on Oprah's couch and the scientology stuff.

I can't even watch topgun I

.

So who would the aggressor be? Russians? Chinese? With these modern fighters (I'm going out on a limb and guessing they'll be in F-22s

), combat boils down to who can push the launch button first.

Maybe it could be against Iran flying their F-14s.

Hope I'm getting my hair cut on the day of release

Took a look at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000129/ and ist not mentioned that there will be a Top Gun2 Sequel and if its not in IMDB.com it will not happen. Thank God!

F-22s in the navy? It'll be F-35s, unless someone doesn't do their homework...which is equally possible.
As for the aggressors...can't be China, too much movie money there, s'why Red Dawn 2's aggressors suddenly switched from Chinese to North Koreans, so it'll probably be either Norks or a renegade Russian general (TM), could be a renegade Middle Eastern dictator...but I doubt it...with Saddam gone they just aren't as recognisably parodiable (is that even a word?). So yeah, Norks or renegade Russkie, that's my betting.

Thank god. I was worried that we would never see a Top Gun 2. Scratch one off the bucket list.

Well there were proposals to navalize the F-14. One of the concept designs looks like this:

That's practically made for Top Gun

Oh please don't tell me this is true. North Korea invading the USA? Really?
