‘Top Gun’ sequel features Cruise vs. drones
     2015-July-3  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

   

 THE long-mooted sequel to 1980s blockbuster “Top Gun” will explore the culture clash between old school aviation and the new generation of unmanned drones, according to the film’s producer.

    David Ellison of production company Skydance also confirmed that the follow-up will feature Tom Cruise reprising his role as star fighter pilot Maverick. “Justin Marks is writing the screenplay right now,” said Ellison. “He has a phenomenal take to really update that world for what fighter pilots in the Navy has turned into today. There is an amazing role for Maverick in the movie and there is no ‘Top Gun’ without Maverick, and it is going to be Maverick playing Maverick. It is I don’t think what people are going to expect, and we are very, very hopeful that we get to make the movie very soon. But like all things, it all comes down to the script.”

    Ellison added: “This world has not been explored. It is very much a world we live in today; where it’s drone technology and fifth-generation fighters are really what the United States Navy is calling the last man-made fighter that we’re actually going to produce. So really exploring the end of an era of dogfighting and fighter pilots, and what that culture is today, are all fun things that we’re gonna get to dive into in this movie.”

    News of a “Top Gun” sequel first emerged five years ago, when original director Tony Scott — since sadly deceased — was on board to return. Scott said at the time he had not planned to return to the world of Maverick, Goose and Ice Man, but had been inspired by a meeting with a young air force pilot who worked with unmanned drones.

    “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,” he said.(SD-Agencies)
