A Top Gun sequel?
While promoting his newly produced Disney film, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Jerry Bruckheimer talked a little about the possibility of a Top Gun sequel, one of the key early screen roles that launched Tom Cruise to stardom. “We tried to develop [a sequel] and we couldn’t do it– I was with my partner Don Simpson,” Bruckheimer explained about the proposed sequel back in the day. “And then Tom took it over and he tried to develop something and it never quite happened.”
“We were recently approached again to start talking about it but, you know, nothing yet,” he continued to MTV. “We kicked around some ideas because the aviation community has completely changed since we made the movie a long time ago. So we have to find a way in and how to incorporate the Maverick character into it.”
To us, this might seem like a case of a little-too-late, but with a weak opening weekend to Cruise’s Knight and Day, I’m sure he might be looking to something a little more stable.
