TOP GUN 2 - release 2012/13
How about this then...
Fans of Top Gun have been longing for a sequel since quite a long. Well, it seems the wait will soon be over: Paramount is planning indeed to develop a movie sequel to Top Gun. Director Tony Scott, who helmed the first film, has been called back to direct Top Gun 2. Actor Tom Cruise who played the role of Maverick said he'd be interested in showing up for some sort of cameo or to play a supporting role, but not to play the lead role. Scriptwriter Christopher McQuarrie (Usual Suspects, Valkyrie) has been hired to pen the script of Top Gun 2. Here below a few words from Director Tony Scott about the movie Top Gun 2: "I'm not waiting for a script by Christopher McQuarrie. I'm going to do my homework. I'm going down to Fallon, Nevada, it's a whole different world now. These computer geeks -- these kids play war games in a trailer in Fallon, Nevada and if we ever went to war or were in the Middle East or the Far East or wherever it is, these guys can actually fly drones. They are unmanned aircraft. They operate them and then they party all night. [...] They operate these drones like it's war games, but it's for real. This world fascinated me, because it's so different from what it was originally. But, I don't want to do a remake. I don't want to do a reinvention. I want to do a new movie." Director Tony Scott Sounds like Top Gun 2 will involve drone pilots and how the old jet-fighter pilots fit in the new military paradigm. Well, I kind of like this angle. I doubt it will as thrilling and epic as the first film, but Top Gun 2 will still make for a really interesting sequel and will shed light on the latest warfare technologies and how the military use them. iRaven |
Hitting the brakes and flying right by will be somewhat less spectacular.

I'm not interested in any sweaty batty-boy sex subtext movie.
One hopes this project won't distract from Scott's Le Mans project. No, it ain't a french batty-boy movie, it's about the important matter of motor racing. |
Yeah yeah, of course you're not Willard... :ok:
|
Hey, I'm from good quality multi-engine stock, not a Norfolk inbred.
|
I seem to recall sleeping all day and working all night during my time at 39....have things changed?
|
I just hope they don't offer Kelly McGillis a cameo role.

Script suggestions-
Mav sits around for a week or two whilst the OH&S people do a risk assessment to see if it's safe to flip the bird to a passing MIG... MIG waxes USN aircraft's butts as it was made in China from plans borrowed from the F22 program... |
Diginagain,
You, Sir, are a cad and a bounder and unless you withdawal your remarks, I shall send my Seconds around to demand satisfaction! No gentleman makes unkind remarks about a lady. Pistols at dawn, I fancy. Old-Duffer |
New script for Top Gun
Cruise sits with his new class. In walks Viper.
'Gentlemen, a quick health and safety brief......... They spend the morning doing some crap computer based'protecting information level 1' course all about how not to leave a secret laptop on the train on the way home. Afternoon is spent trying to figure out the ridiculously complex system of notams, local avoids and sensitive areas. Cruise goes to the bar. It's shut cos there aren't enough Mess staff and they can only open the Sgts Mess that week. Goes to the Naafi bop. Sings cheesy song to Fat WAAF. Gets filled in by large RockApe. Wakes up next to his kebab from the night before. Next day is another bone course called 'introduction to DII' that repeats half the guff that was in yesterday's course. Afternoon is spent on JPA trying to figure out which receipt that he has had to keep for 2 years is the correct one to submit to the JPA audit. Cruise goes blind on paperwork and worthless computer courses and does no flying for 5 months cos they stop the course due to aircraft availability. Next day, cruise spends three hours planning a trip and making lots of last minute bookings, straps in to the mighty steed. Goes to start the engine. No joy. Throws it back at the engineers... 'Sorry sir, but you didn't put 'engine required' on the Pre flight instruction.' Cruise hits the PVR button on JPA... |
High Spirits: Comedy genius, fella!

What about equality and diversity and the need to man (or woman) a float on the Lord Mayor's show?
|
I think Dos Gringos' "Predator Eulogy" says is best.
For the film, I hope for a sombre and moving scene following on from a PIO on landing incident.... |
Will the new movie be as gay as the original?
|
I just hope they don't offer Kelly McGillis a cameo role. |
Cruise can't land on the newest carrier because it's helicopters only and also the French won't share!:ok:

I have UAS/RPAS'd some memorable quotes:
Maverick: Tower, this is Ghost rider requesting a flyby. Air Boss Johnson: That’s a negative Ghost rider, the pattern is full. Maverick: I'm doing it anyway, as I'm lost link - squawking 7600... Goose: The defense department regrets to inform you that your sons are are still alive because they invested in combat aircraft technology that poses no risk to aircrew. Stinger: And if you screw up just this much, you’ll be flying a manned cargo plane full of rubber dog sh!t out of Hong Kong! Maverick: Yes sir! Merlin: What are you doing? You’re slowing down, you’re slowing down! Maverick: I’m bringing him in closer, Merlin. Merlin: You’re gonna do WHAT? Maverick: I don't have the speed to out run him so I may as well just get it over with.. Jester: That was some of the best flying I’ve seen to date – right up to the part where you had a Ku drop out. Charlie: So, lieutenant, where exactly were you? Maverick: Well, we... Goose: Thank you. Maverick: Started up on his 6, when he pulled from the clouds, and then I moved in above him. Charlie: Well, if you were directly above him, how could you see him? Maverick: Because my sensor ball is underneath the aircraft - derr!. Iceman: [coughs whilst saying] Bull****. Goose: No, it is man. It was a really great move. He couldn't go inverted as the sat link only goes upwards. Slider: Crashed and burned! Huh, Mav? Maverick: Hey, Slider. [sniffs] Maverick: You stink! Slider: I know Mav, I've been stuck in that sweaty cabin all day... Maverick: I feel the need... Maverick, Goose: ...the need for speed! Oh, bugger the wings have come off! Maverick: Too close for missles, I'm switching to guns. Oh, rubbish! I don't have any... Title Card: On March 3, 2011 the United States Air Force established an elite school for the top one percent of its RPA pilots. Its purpose was to teach the lost art of aerial combat and to insure that the handful of men who graduated were the best RPA pilots in the world. They succeeded. Today, the Air Force calls it RPA Weapons School. The flyers call it: TOP GUT... There must be others...:ok: LJ |
They operate them and then they party all night http://vegasbuzz.com/wp-content/uplo...-o-fortune.jpg This could be the first all-female crew celebrating a HellFire strike on senior Taleban leadership...:E The B Word |
Is this "Top Gun 2" or "Hot Shots 2" they are making?
