Bit of a difference alright compared to the original film...

What's with his nose?

If he looked the same with no ageing then i would be worried........

Yeah, 32 years will do that to you. Well, it does much worse to most others.

Kawasaki H2 as well, god dam!

Gatling

Maverick's other new ride

Slydice

I wonder will they fly in any kinda hybrid human/drone formations

Agent Coulson

It's flying into Comic Con so we should have a first look teaser trailer soon.

Still no idea who wants this film or who thinks it's a good idea but if they strike the right knowing approach it could be fun.

Gatling

Wasn't holding up high hopes for this but this brought a grin to the face

Not bad, i was kinda expecting the trailer to be an OTT CGI mess of unbelievable dogfights.. So... lookin good so far..

Don't care about the movie, but as always with Cruises movies the making of will be most entertaining, see how far he pushes himself. Looks like some of the cockpit footage is himself in an actual jet, taking off, flying etc.

Agent Coulson

I'd say there was no way he was making this if he didn't get to fly the jets himself.

The flight sequences look amazing. Otherwise, hard to judge what its about. Some scenes look like remakes of the original.

With the best will in the world I can't see an actor being allowed to take off from an aircraft carrier. Funnily enough am reading a biography an astronauts life (Scott Kelly), and his time as a navy pilot. Take off & landing is lethal even for a pro. It's gotta be a mock-up, the radio seat made up to look like the pilots

Slydice

The theme tune!

Nothing looks wrong.

Sounds like maybe a solid story.

Tom Cruise looking to be doing his usual All-In (heh, like a Maverick )


If the 2nd trailer references road travel towards a pitfall, then I'm definitely sold!

Conversely there's no way the US Navy would let an actor fly a $70 million plane. I'd say he was in the back of one a lot, but no piloting.

You are right I would say I doubt the military would let a civilian fly a military jet no matter how good a pilot they are.

Take off in an F/A-18 is hands off stick. The pilots hands are away from all controls until the aircraft is in the air. But yeah, there’s no way a civilian is getting their hands on a single seat. And I also wouldn’t be surprised if they stuck him the back of an F/A-18B trainer. It does seem like a very cruise stunt.

Gatling

It's quite possible being he's a well qualified pilot and regularly races them too ,
But we could be looking at simulation ,

With cruise anything is possible

No interest in Top Gun, but Joseph Kosinski‘s an interesting director with a great visual eye. Some very smart and impactful camera choices in that trailer for sure.

As for being given to access to real hardware... whatever about Cruise flying or not flying the planes, the Pentagon does tend to be willing to give the nod to productions to use their expensive weapons as long as there’s nothing remotely critical about them in the script :pac:

Agent Coulson

Scientology has some powerful friends and blackmail material (allegedly) so therefore Cruise has too maybe strings could have been pulled lol

Kermit.de.frog

Looking forward to this. Loved the first one.

Also it's so refreshing to see a film that won't be reliant on CGI for action scenes.

*thumbs up*

I reckon Cruise has found a way to fly the plane!

In any event this looks like a popcorn flick I can finally enjoy. Will find my way to a cinema for this definitely!

silverharp

looks good, even if its brainless it should be a blast with cinema sound. Surprised Marerick wasn't on an island being sad at the start
