I really do hope it keeps some of its original camp homo-erotic vibes.

I doubt it, I believe Scientology has cured Cruise of that affliction.

Sequel, not a remake.

Inject it straight into my veins.

Can't wait.

Yup, breath taken away.

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.

Was this not delayed so cruise could get up to speed with flying one of the planes as cgi was not an option for him... If I remember correctly this was due to be released this summer but was delayed because of this

He spoke at comic-con where he said everything you see in the movie is real .

Real, as in yes he's in a real plane being flown by a real fighter pilot. While Cruise has a pilots license and has flown helicopters, flying a military aircraft is even beyond his capabilities. Being a civilian he's legally prohibited from flying any military aircraft. Flying even a commercial airliner would take years of training and thousands of airmiles, so to fly a military aircraft of the highest order without a lengthy career in military aviation is impossible. You'll see cruise in a fighter jet.... Flown by someone else.

It's quite possible he has the ability to fly fast jets .

30 years flying experience after all.

Anyway it's a movie

Looking forward to this :P Like with Terminator i am curious about how they are going to clear up one of the main actors.

Last time i seen Kilmer he was very overweight. I wonder if they will clean him up.

TerrorFirmer

Yeah, he was looking really poor last time I saw pictures of him from a month or two ago - not overweight, just incredibly aged in a very unhealthy way for someone who's 59. I know he had a cancer battle, but he honestly looked 80 in some photos.

One hopes that was the driving force behind it! Certainly a film with money from a Chinese corporate giant dropping Japanese and Taiwanese flags raises an eyebrow. Although, given this is Top Gun with the approval of the US Navy, it's already wrapped up in state influence

Mitch Connor

I can't wait to see this, I think it is going to have some of the most amazing shots and sequences on film. The stuff they could do now with real jets...

The White Wolf

Looks great...but if this is present day wouldn't Goose's kid be close to his 40s instead of being a young buck?

Acosta

Looks great. Loving the lack of CGI.

TinCool

I think they got 1986 Mr Strickland, put him through the ageifier machine, and they ended up with a wrinkly Ed Harris.
Looks the bomb though. Has blockbuster feel to me. At least for us 40 something's who remember going to see the likes of Ghostbusters and Temple of Doom in the Savoy.

I'm 32 and love Cruise. I don't care about the scientology crap. I'd rather watch him than The Rock any day.

Sad Professor

If the trailer is anything to go by, this might be the most Tom Cruise movie ever made. All of Harris's dialogue could be applied to Cruise himself.

Harris is only 11 years older than Cruise btw.

11 years is a long time to get from where Mavericks character seems to be compared to where Harris's character seems to be. Really I think the only thing it highlights is that Cruise and Keanu Reeves seem share similar genes.

Agreed, for me its also because the wife likes him so will watch action film's with him in it.

Also agreed on Dwayne his films aren't the best but his presence pulls them through.

Slydice

In fairness though.. if this _ISN'T_ the most Tom Cruise film ever made, it probably ought to be.. or at least the most Tom Cruise _Sequel_ ever made.

Acosta

Tom Cruise might be a bit nuts, but he makes top quality action movies. The Mission Impossible movies from 3 onwards are excellent and very consistent. Edge Of Tomorrow was class too. However I do tend to download them as I'd rather not fund scientology. Not seen the Jack Reacher movies though. Worth watching?

Ah now the first Mission Impossible holds up as a legit, old school spy thriller, before it completely became a vehicle for Tom Cruise stunts.

The first Jack Reacher film was ok, again curiously old fashioned as a "corruption in city hall" style PI thriller; the second was ... Ugh. Take Tom Cruise out of it, and you'd assume you were watching a low to mid budget TV pilot. Warehouses and cheap sets. So shoddy I presumed it was some licencing dodge.

Acosta

Mission Impossible is good. I even enjoyed Mission Impossible Woo. But as action spy movies go, from 3 onwards is real top notch stuff.

wanna see the story trailer

Dades

I thought this was supposed to be a handing over of the baton to the next generation, with Tom taking a back seat. But this looks like the TC show all the way.

I'm there though. Absolutely loved MI: Fallout last year. Watched it for the fourth time last night. Tom for all his eccentricities still has what it takes, and Top Gun was where it all started.

Kermit.de.frog

Probably the best first film trailer in years in terms of hitting all the right notes.

Really looking forward to this.

Closer to 30 years ago than 40.

TopGun was 1986
Miles Teller was born in 1987.

Other factors involved here, but seen this in this mornings news sites.
Cruise isn't aging.

I just thought it was depressing.
Arrested development man in his 50's still wearing the the same jacket as he did in his 20's and riding his mid life crisis bike?
Jesus.
Maybe that's a crux of the storyline but it's presented as glorious and cool when in fact it's laughable.
I'm coming to the conclusion that people will watch any ol sh1te as long as it tickles their nostalgia-balls.

Jesus, poor Kilmer.... think that goes beyond aging.

Think he had cancer.

Id say he is dead in the movie... They surely would have used him in place of Ed's character otherwise.
