Top Gun 2 was believed to be on the fast track in Hollywood until Tony Scott committed suicide in August of 2012.
It was later reported that producers for Top Gun 2 had shifted their plans to re-releasing a 3D version of the original Top Gun. But, after a recent interview with executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer, there still are plans to bring back Top Gun.
Bruckheimer had an interview with HuffingtonPost:
“We’ve been trying to get that movie made for 30 years, and I think we’re getting closer and closer,” Bruckheimer told Ricky Camilleri. “Don [Simpson] and I tried to develop something, we didn’t succeed. [Tom] Cruise took over, and he tried to develop something, and he didn’t succeed. Now we’re back at it.”
“The concept is, basically, are the pilots obsolete because of drones. Cruise is going to show them that they’re not obsolete. They’re here to stay,” Bruckheimer said. “It’s just getting to the starting place. Fortunately for Tom, he’s very busy, so you have to find a slot he can fit into and get a budget that Paramount feels they can make the picture.”
Well it looks like they have a concept behind the Top Gun 2 movie. Now all they need to do is figure out the details such as supporting roles, a script, a director, studio, and a filming location.
