    Do you feel the need? The need for a “Top Gun” sequel?

    Rumors of “Top Gun 2″ have swirled since the original touched down in 1986. Skydance CEO David Ellison confirmed that the project is in development and revealed its plot details at a “Terminator Genisys” press junket in Berlin, Collider reports.

    “Justin Marks is writing the screenplay right now,” Ellison said. “He has a phenomenal take to really update that world for what fighter pilots in the Navy has turned into today.”

    He added, “It is very much a world we live in today where it’s drone technology and fifth generation fighters … It’s really exploring the end of an era of dogfighting and fighter pilots and what that culture is today.”

    Fans of the original film will be delighted to know that Ellison hinted that Tom Cruise will reprise his role. “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,” Ellison said.

    Please, please, please don't use CGI. One of the reasons Top Gun can stand the test of time is that they used actual aircraft and models.

    It's a Tom Cruise movie. It will definitely have practical effects and stunts. He is holding onto the outside of a plane in the new Mission Impossible movie. I think he would definitely try to fly an actual one. I don't think a Top Gun sequel is necessary, but I would probably see it anyway because Tom Cruise is a reliable movie star. His action movies are usually pretty entertaining.

    Top Gun? FFS. It doesn't need a sequel, I couldn't even sit through the first one!

    Once again Hollywood picks a movie that needs no sequel or remake to exploit.

    Maverick better be an instructor or something. Tom Cruise is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too old to play a Navy fighter pilot at this point.

    Oooh, I like Top Gun. It was an iconic film for a lot of us who were the right age when it came out in '86. If you were a boy, 7 to 15 ish then it was the greatest thing ever. So anyone who says they don't like it? Obviously never saw it back in the day.
