This is another franchise getting resurrected by holyweird and it's gonna bomb like the A-team.
F14s were hot as hell, and I think latest crop of 5th and 4.5 generation fighters in the USAF and USN are a bit too Germanic (in ww2 sense). They're not beautiful and elegant but they're brutal in efficiency. Think of the Fw-190A, its not sexy and elegant but they shot down lots of beautiful and elegant spits (until the arrival of clipped wing spitfire XIIs :devil)

If there is some kenny loggins i'm in.

Deutschland uber alles? :huh

There's gotta be a way for hollyweird to make Navy F-35s look sexy (in photo shooting sense), or else its just gonna look like the stuff that came out of Luft'46 or something alien like the YF23 and F-117

Unfortunately thats probably going to be the only feasible way i just don't see them getting footage of F-35s of Super Hornets like they did back then.

But Top Gun 2? Blah.Come on. Jerry Bruckheimer should stick to CSI:Rhode Island...
Just going to ruin another classic. Maverick's successor will probably be Justin Beiber or some crap. If he's stuck on the idea, just make another Iron Eagle movie. There's like ten of those and they already suck.

as true as that maybe... does the whole 'crazy factor' of Tom Cruise detract from the experience? (I'm in no way defending Justin Beiber).

I will admit, in every other movie I see Tom Cruise in, I cannot take him seriously. Top Gun however, has always seemed equally bad ass. It may be that it is so deeply ingraned into who I am that I just don't notice it's him, like some repressed memory, lol.

What I have read is that Yes they are making Top Gun 2. Yes Tom Cruise will be in it, but will not have the lead role. They do not know what fighters they will use. Either the f-35 or f/a-18 super hornet.
The producers and writers are having a hard time trying to come up with a story because Top Gun has changed so much from 20 years ago when they made it. Since Top Gun is no longer in Miramar and is moved to Fallon Nevada that changes some things (sorry guys no more beach volleyball).
Also since the mission of Top Gun has changed from purely a Dog Fighting School to more of a Naval Strike Air Warfare Center/NSAWC it is going to be hard to write a story on that as well. I mean before you had planes buzzing, doing high G turns, and barrel rolls. What are they going to write about now. Who can get closest with there GPS guided bomb. Not really exciting. These are some of things the writers were talking about in a interview.
I also read that there is a possibility that Cruise will play the lead instructor of Top Gun. A student will have the same personality and flying skills as he did when he was a younger pilot. The pilot will be a woman which Maverick will have a rough time dealing with, a) she is a girl, b) good looking, c)she reminds maverick how he used to be and he tries to break that habit.
Like I said this is stuff that I have just read from the producers and writers on the subject of Top Gun 2. Yes they know the original was kind of a corny story but they did try and keep it somewhat true to form. That is what they kind of what to do with this one as well.
This is just one website that I found on the latest on Top Gun 2. I cant seem to find the interviews with some of the writers that I have read.

IF, Top Gun 2 is done like the original.
IF, they use Super Hornets
IF, they live action most of the flying and CGI the battle scenes so they look real
IF, The focus is heightened on the fighting and flying not the stupid banging in beach houses
I might watch this movie

How about they make a scenario where Navy F-18 and 35s go after against the elite Iranian F-14s who are causing trouble in the middle east? :devil
I know hollywood has the budget to put at least 1 mothballed F-14s back in service and make CGI copies for more F-14s in the movie.

Too bad the US STILL has more operable F-14s than the real-life Iranian military...
:D

I say refit the F-14 with newer engines and avionics, give it a ton of R.A.M. and bring back my favorite plane already. :rock

Im sure Grumman will be happy to do that for you.
How would you like to pay for it, cash? visa?

Thought they were all scrapped?

NASA's is still floating around the lot somewhere at Edwards, haven't got a clue if it's being kept up to maintenance or is in any flying condition though.
-

That was the point of the joke.
Last I read, none of Iran's F-14s are operational due to lack of spare parts.

I want to play beach volleyball with Val Kilmer.

You mean they actually gonna write a story for the second movie?! most FPS games have a deeper story that the first.
Face it, Top gun was a s*** movie that had planes in it. They can make an episode of desperate housewives with F-14s and it will be just as good.

While waiting for Top Gun 2, check out this one:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421974/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421974/)
The story is a bit so so, just like in the original Top Gun, but the air footage is second to none.
Youtube is infested with clips like this taken from the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEe3xfWfkG8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEe3xfWfkG8)
I really recommend this one just for the air scenes :aok

I thought Sky Fighters was better than Top Gun, at least the flying sequences were.
