Top Gun The Sequel?
Tue, June 29, 2010 
MTV recently talked with producer Jerry Bruckheimer about the upcoming The Sourcerers Apprentice and were able to get a bit of information out of him about the possibility of a Top Gun sequel:
"We tried to develop [a sequel] and we couldn't do it-- I was with my partner Don Simpson," Bruckheimer explained. "And then Tom took it over and he tried to develop something and it never quite happened." That's all in the past though. It turns out that "Top Gun" has been the subject of much more recent sequel discussions as well.
"We were recently approached again to start talking about it but, you know, nothing yet," he continued. "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."
If you've been following TMT's podcast, Crashing Hollywood then you know I am gathering quite a list of classic movies that are must see. Now we can add Top Gun to this ever growing list. From friends telling me its one of the great 80's movies and that the soundtrack is one of the best of all time, I believe its well past time to view the original. Either way I'm sure this news of a potential sequel is sure to get fans of the original excited. Everything else is being remade or 'sequeled' so why not this?

Top Gun is overrated
Forget Top Gun, someone get Michael Bay and $300 million dollars and do Robotech/Macross.
