We were during our usual daily rounds around the net today when we stumbled across MTV and this article which features an interview with uber-producer Jerry Bruckheimer. The bearded producer of such classics as Bad Boys, Flashdance and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies was out doing the promotional rounds for his next film The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, when he revealed that a sequel to the classic 1986 Tom Cruise movie COULD be a possibility!
“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.”
Take us back into the tha mother-f**kin’ Danger Zone Jerry, and get Tony Scott to show us the way!
