Movie Top Gun 2.... IS HAPPENING

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Exec: Top Gun 2 Is Real and Stars a Plane That Doesn’t Fly

A Lockheed engineer is probably the last person you'd expect to break the news of a Hollywood mega-blockbuster sequel, but here we go! Flightglobal is reporting Top Gun 2 is not only happening, but starring Tom Cruise (!) as an F-35 pilot. Ha!

The bizarre news, centered around a movie that doesn't even have an IMDB page and a broken airplane, is taking a little bit to process here. The first question: what will Tom Cruise do? Stand on a runway, staring at his grounded F-35? Will the F-35 be a metaphor for some kind of personal growth? Is the Tom Cruise Lockheed is talking about the same Tom Cruise? Will he fix all of the plane's electrical problems to get the girl?

The film, if it does hit production next month as Tom Burbage, Lockheed Martin F-35 program manager claims, the writers will have an even greater challenge than the plane's engineers—you can only make a defective, trillion-dollar paperweight so exciting. I can see it now: Maverick is sitting, Four Loko lodged into his beer gut, watching the air war of Libya thunder away, as his F-35 sits outside under a tarp. Fade to black. Begin volleyball scene. Val Kilmer looks better than ever. Chests glistening like so many unused guided bombs. OFFRAMP TO THE SAFETY ZONE. [Flightglobal]

Its kind of joking as its not an official interview or anything. And they ambushed him in the airport so I'm not really putting any faith into it.

But it got me thinking that maybe I'm old and curmudgeonly and I don't want Danger Zone remade for the 2nd part. Maybe better served as a cover by another artist.

well no, the entire swollen neck thing was because of a tumor in his throat and then the meds to try to take care of it.
He has been getting back in shape since have the tumor thing fixed:

I know this initial report was from 2012, so info was sketchy, but the F-35 isn't what is being used. The Navy's workhorse F/A-18 Super Hornet is.

The F-35 is more or less just becoming operational now, and the Navy hasn't completely incorporated their version into carrier service yet. So having him fly a plane that they aren't even using yet... Meanwhile again, the F/A-18 is their "workhorse."

Also, I would question our military, letting Hollywood into our newest wonder jet to begin with.

You should see, or not, Kelly Mcguinss (sp)

She looks like a man now. Wholly cripes.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

That song does not need to be remade or updated. Sounds as good now as it did back then. Worry about the script and how to use less CGI. okthanks

He looks fucking old

Well, he is 58 years old...


Although it says Tom Cruise is 55 years old and looks pretty good. Plastic surgery or just good jeans? hmmmm

 

[Mook]

If they bring back Mighty Wings, my dick might literally explode.

 

[VenomInside]

If the opening does not feature Danger Zone, I will walk out.

+1 to Mighty Wings.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

And the sequence of the cat launch in synch.

One of the things that made the F-14 so cool was that once in the lockdown position in the catapult, to launch, the front end comes down, giving it the look of a dragster. The F/A-18's aren't like that, but I'll take what I can get.

 

[blakbearddelite]

I'm sure it's because of his health issues, but yeah, Val looks really worn out compared to Tom Cruise.

 

[Mook]

Cruise made a deal with the devil. Hes not aging and hes only getting better.

 

[blakbearddelite]

I believe it. And he doesn't have that 'worked on' look that most aging celebrities do. I wouldn't say he's getting better, but time is moving a lot slower for him than most.

 

[Omicron]

They should remake with an female cast. That’s what the fans want.

I mean, you could have Mindy Kaling and Kelly Marie Tran as maverick and Goose. Get Melissa Mcarthy as iceman. Leslie Jones as sundown.

Have a white male as the instructor who culturally inappropriate the women pilots and gets fired, so the entire movie would be about SJW female empowerment. And queef jokes.

Paul Feig could direct.

Hell , have Carly Rae Jensen cover ‘Danger Zone’.

[blakbearddelite]

I didn't realize that McGillis came out as a full-time lez in 2009.

Seriously. The guy is a mutant. Has barely aged through all the mission impossibles too.
