Posted July 26, 200816 yr Maverick's back: Cruise jumps on eighties remake bandwagon as he plans Top Gun II First it was Rocky, then it was Rambo and more recently Indiana Jones, and now Tom Cruise is following the eighties remake craze by filming a Top Gun sequel. Twenty two years after Maverick sang his way into the heart of his instructor Charlie with 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling', the fighter pilot will take to the skies again. Movie bosses are keen to resurrect the mega-successful 1986 movie, which launched Tom onto Hollywood's A-list and earned $350million worldwide. Cruise, 46, is in talks with studio bosses to reprise his role as Lt. Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell in a long-awaited follow-up. An insider tells The Sun: 'The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor - and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot.' The original Top Gun starred Cruise as an cocky aspiring pilot who falls in love with his beautiful instructor, Charlie Blackwood, played by Kelly McGillis. If Cruise agrees to reprise his role, Top Gun II would be a surefire box office hit. The actor's film career has been remarkably less successful in recent years after previously dominating the highest box offices receipts since the 1980s. His last big hit was War Of The Worlds in 2005 - which was released around the same time he started dating his now third wife Katie Holmes. Mission: Impossible III in 2006 performed below industry expectations, taking less money than the first film in 1996, which was a huge worldwide success. His last film, Lions For Lambs, which opened last November, failed to make an impact at the box office and was critically mauled. Meanwhile, Tom took time out of his acting career to enjoy a day at the race track with wife Katie. The couple left the kids at home for the day as they stepped out at the Red Bull US MotoGP World Championship in Monterey, California. Dressed down in jeans, sunglasses and leather jackets, the couple walked in sync around the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca as they talked to drivers and officials in between races. The couple were given pole position as they watched the races from the pit lane wall. What are your opinions on the resurrection of 80's flicks?
July 26, 200816 yr Who cares about this and why did you post it? Is it of that much significance Captian or were you merely trying to make yourself more popular? Also, do you type in bigger text to get more attention? Hey I know! Why don't you make one of your "clever" pictures in response to my post. That way your internet rep will sky rocket.

July 26, 200816 yr You probably were too young to fully appreciate Maverick and the Iceman. unpossible! What? (faggot picture) No this honestly is my first account on these forums.

You will regret making these posts and will fall to the power of my middle hook. CHERISH YOUR REMAINING LIFE< FRIEND>

July 26, 200816 yr Author I am fairly sure this isn't a movie discussion forum http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/1658/generalnd3.jpg The Captian is fairly sure you should give up on trying prove him wrong on just about any topic. It is not working well for you.
July 26, 200816 yr Author Captain, stop feeding the trolls. Although you are winning. LOL, yeah I really need to just start ignoring them. It's just so easy to prove them wrong/own them/point out their fallacies/ect. that I find it hard not to. Anyway, back on topic : http://www.webstar.co.uk/~afzal/images/topgun.jpg Edited July 26, 200816 yr by Captian
July 26, 200816 yr Can't wait, original was fucking amazing. I although have lost alot of cruise as a actor...but bringing back something as epic as top gun, I can look past.
July 26, 200816 yr Original was awesome, but Cruise has turned batshit insane so I`m gonna have a hard time watching the new one.
July 26, 200816 yr Author ...Cruise has turned batshit insane... +1 on that. I think being so famous that you can't show your face without seeing a million camera flashes, enough money to be able to do practically anything you want, and being surrounded and babied constantly by a bunch of 'yes men' has that effect on people. Take Britney Spears for example...
July 26, 200816 yr meh i am not sure how good it will be, there are some really shit remakes/seq/prequels ect... and their are some amazing ones example the New hulk
