The odds are very high that it will be terrible. A good sequel is a rare item.

Cruise is too old to be flying active duty. What will his role be I wonder.

Top Gun without the F-14 is not Top Gun. Having said that, I'm a little excited :)

The F-14 is retired. To me that was the main reason the movie was so cool.

It'll be a Overly Done CGI Mess w/ Zach Efron Shirtless Volleyball Scenes thrown in.

There is an interview with Cruise where he said TG2 wouldn't happen unless it was shot live action. He was aware that was The foundation of the original. I think that's what excites me most about this news - hopefully they reached some sort of agreement with the Navy

Well, as long as shirtless Zach Efron isn't CGI. Kidding! Kidding!

 

They'd have to CGI Iceman in..... lol

The question is: what is the Story they want to tell?

It is all about the story. If it works, the movie works.

 

The USN might be interested in the publicity, so that is pretty much possible... Question is, what do they want to tell, story wise? Maverick, ex flight instructor for Top Gun showing 80ies dogfighting tactics for F-35 pilots, might be the closest to a believable plot... ;)

Was thinking that exact same thing when postin in another forumn. F-18 just don't see how they'll make this all work. New threat, or fictional East vs West storyline again. probably worth seing though as it was my fav movie from HS years.

Maybe they'll go crazy with it and do an alternate Strangereal future, where Tom Cruise is a grizzled veteran of an F-14E SuperCat squadron dogfighting against the Belkins while his opponent spouts Nietzscheian philosophy to him.

So - Tom Cruise in the role of a TopGun trainer, who gets called into active duty once again because of some terrorist plot that only he and his flying buddy (whoever that might be) can stop. I would guess that's a plot line I can imagine.

Last I saw the General Story was Supposed to be:

Top Gun Instructor training pilots, is challenged by Government Contractor to compete against their Unmanned Drone Fighters.

Ok, so let's hope it isn't done realistic.

 

"Drone pulls a 22 G sustained turn, into the piloted Jet, fires simulated Missiles. Rinse and repeat 10 times while pilot tries to outmaneuver the drone with stunts like the brake stop" to see the drone flying circles around him, as it doesn't have problems pulling as much Gs, as the airframe can handle as no meatball is in the cockpit...?

 

The most interesting aspect may be moral decisions... but that has been done in other movies already, so not very inventive, story-telling wise. :dunno:

so this is not a topgun sequel but actually a stealth sequel...

 

i would have imagined this was some boeing funded shill flick where tom cruise in the super bug uses good old gun tactics like aileron roll and airbrake juke to defeat the evil f-35.

 

ooh ooh if they make it a MQ-35 they can nail two birds with one stone!!
