    Looks like Maverick, Iceman and the guys could be back-though can't really see Kilmer fitting into anything smaller than a cargo plane these days.:)

    Hey folks, Harry here and the folks at WhatsPlaying claim that Tony Scott told them at the junket for UNSTOPPABLE, that he had made the decision to direct TOP GUN 2.

    Personally, I love the original TOP GUN, it was made before the time of Tony Scott's addiction to shakey-cam. Before the desaturation of colors. And was just a beautiful film that taught Michael Bay how to shoot everything the way he shoots it. Which is pretty. SO - who will our fighter planes be training to fight against? Hopefully, ALIENS! Yeah, they could have Tom Cruise and Will Smith as fighter pilot teachers that have to come out of retirement to fight ALIENS with their fighter pilot President. Oh wait, no. That's kinda ID4. ROBOTS! Or maybe CANADA! Yeah! An evil government in CANADA threatens to invade the United States and a firing war breaks out. Or - SUB-MARINER!!! Yeah!

    I don't know if the climate is necessarily conducive to a TOP GUN 2. Just kind of feels like a relic of the past to me. I would almost prefer a prequel about the young Tom Skerritt and MAVERICK's dad. How about you?

    if it's big budget might be fun movie, but can't see it being much more than that

    No more F-14s (THE star of Top Gun) unless they CGI them all in. Will have to be F-18s all the way.

    Speed and Angels is the semi-real take on it.

    Just wouldn't be the same if done in CGI

    Someone call Lockheed Martin - here's a chance to show off the F-35C. The thing is years behind schedule and 50% over budget, they need to get some bang for the buck before it enters service in 2014. :cool:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Honestlu wuldnt surprise me but the JSF looks nowwhere near as good as the F14 or even the F18, you cab be sure the new film will be flying carrier based F 22's ;)

    Who would they fight?A thrilling action movie detailing US foreign policy in it's violent imperialist glory would be a bit dull.

    Christopher McQuarrie that the film is intended to feature everyone's favorite fighter pilot as its lead character. According to Vulture, McQuarrie said of the script, which he's currently penning, "There is no Top Gun 2 in which Maverick is not the starring role." This would indicate that Tom Cruise would be returning to play an older version of the character in the sequel. Of course, there is no word onwhether this will actually happen yet.

    Maverick back :rolleyes:
