    'Top Gun 2' Being Discussed, Report Says

    Published October 15, 2010

    Tom Cruise in 'Top Gun.' (Paramount)

    Nearly 25 years after Tom Cruise played iconic hero "Maverick" in the action film "Top Gun," Paramount Pictures is in discussions to revive the 80's cult classic, New York Magazine reported Thursday.

    Viacom's Paramount Pictures is negotiating with the film's original producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott to work on "Top Gun 2" and members of the original cast will reportedly take part in the project.

    Cruise's starring role in the original movie as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell will be much smaller in the sequel -- perhaps as a flight instructor, a source said.

    The 27-year-old son of Oracle founder Larry Ellison, avid aviator David Ellison, is thought to be key in securing financing for the film. He has been influential in co-financing many of Paramount’s films -- including "Mission: Impossible 4," which will also star the 48-year-old Cruise.

    At the July 22 London premiere of his summer action flick, "Knight & Day," Cruise denied he was involved in "Top Gun 2."

    When asked if there was any truth to the rumors that a "Top Gun" sequel was on its way, Cruise immediately dismissed the speculation.

    "No," Cruise laughed, without hesitation. "Sorry man."

    Sounds like a terrible idea. A fat Iceman, Maverick's now is a crazy Scientologist, and a lesbian Kelly McGillis.

    Cult classic? That's a pretty big cult, considering everyone I've ever met in my entire life still loves that movie.

    As far as a sequel goes, I'm sure all the flying scenes will be CGI. No thanks.

    I bet Tom Cruise could still pull it off as a young Maverick...just give him the hair cut. Just pick up where they left off.

    who'd they face?

    In the 80's we had the USSR.

    Not sure who be the main adversary if the time frame were the 00's.

    There are not even dog-fights anymore. Maybe this time they will be stealth bombers.

    I know right? Top Gun 2 should be a UAV cockpit, a COD4-like screen, and the pilot stopping to get a McRib before driving home to his family.
