The tragic end of Tony Scott left in the air the project . His intention was to shoot a sequel to Top Gun and had worked in this year. In fact, as they told the media at the time, both the director and the star, Tom Cruise, they had begun to visit possible locations. Scott's suicide and more than three years left everything on hold.

Over time the idea has been revived and is adding adherents. The last, Val Kilmer. He gave opposite Tom Cruise in the first installment and not unless he wants to be and stay out. And thank goodness, because it would not be the same without Iceman. The confirmation has come through social networks and after the project were then to start with the signing of a new screenwriter Justin Marks (The Jungle Book ).
The only argument you know that have to do with the importance of pilots in such a technological world like today and there are no new director to the front. Finding replacement for Tony Scott will be the hard part . Something you will not understand, perhaps, who have not been teenagers in the eighties. Top Gun was released in 1986 and was a real hit, with a very young Tom Cruise in front, blunting as Hollywood star and conquering folders institute.

Because much Maverick Maverick was a pretty boy who showed signs of blockbuster idol. So it has been. Nearly three decades later Tom Cruise still on the crest of the wave in which he climbed in the eighties. The entire cast of Top Gun is the big winner. Everyone knows about his career and his films. The Oscar resists, but has been nominated three times, Born July 4 , Jerry Maguire and Magnolia . It's not just a pretty face. He's a good actor, with a record that goes from action to drama through comedy. Will have its quirks, you can not deny, but knows how Hollywood works and how have pleased his audience.
It has not done so well to Val Kilmer. Top Gun was also one of his first works. He saw in him a hero in the making, but stayed on the road. Batman might have been his lifeline to the mid-nineties. Not only was it not rivals but Clooney as the worst seen in the movies. But beware that no one is saying that you have not succeeded or failed. Is anyone lose a comparison with Cruise . A Kilmer not only has no shortage of projects, but working with large, like Terrence Malick, who has counted on him for his next film.

Who has been more difficult to track he has been courting the blonde Maverick, Kelly McGillis . By Tom Cruise they appear to have spent years, not as his co-star, who also have five years his senior, note that has passed fifty. Cuesta recognize, but his smile and his eyes are unmistakable. Not much has lavished on the screen and in 1999 saw with Val Kilmer again at first sight .

Nothing to do with the history of cast another actress, Meg Ryan. Carole was the woman's friend Maverick, Goose . When Top Gun was filmed largely unknown to the point of not being the protagonist, but secondary. Something that changed very quickly to become the queen of romantic comedy and drama in the eighties and nineties. Enough to be nominated for three Golden Globes for When Harry Met Sally ... , Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail . Her husband in Top Gun was Anthony Edwards, Dr. Greene in ER .
