Tom Cruise took off as Maverick in Top Gun over 25 years ago and now, in a bid to distract us from his peculiar religious/cult* views, he’s saying that he might be taking to the air again in Top Gun 2.
Obviously, Hollywood is clean out of fresh ideas at the moment.
Cruise is currently promoting his fourth Mission: Impossible film, and he’s told MTV that there’s been discussions with Top Gun director Tony Scott and producer Jerry Bruckheimer about revisiting the film which Quentin Tarantino thinks is about being gay.
Cruise said, while everyone glared at him thinking about nothing other than Scientology:
“I said to Tony, I want to make another movie with him… Tony and I and Jerry, we never thought that we would do it again. Then they started to come to us with these ideas of where it is now. I thought, ‘Wow, that would be… what we could do now'”
Come up with a new idea and not rest on your laurels perhaps?
He continued:
“If we can find a story that suits what we all want to do… we all want to make a film that is in the same kind of tone as the other one and shoot it in the same way as we shot ‘Top Gun.'”
Of course, this is all dependent on whether there’s an appetite for Tom Cruise by the time its takes this project to get off the ground.
We all know that he’s nowhere near as loved as he was, pre-alien bothery.
*Let’s just clear this ‘cult’ thing up, lest Scientology get all jumpy about it all. Basically, Scientology sees itself as a religion. We see all religions as cults. So, far from trying to discredit Scientology, we’re actually discrediting all religion as a load of bunkum. Soz ‘ard.

No, dufus magnus, it’s a bid to earn a living in his chosen profession, as most actors like to do.
Mary Sue says
These cult-members aren’t very imaginative!
Tinychuckles says
Tom’s ignorance of the abuses of Scientology is a giant career killer
Toms phobia of “space alien parasites” is a career killer
tiny brain+unchecked narcissism+shoe lifts=cult member
Tom’s obviously lacks a “Pair” of you know what.
when you lay down with dogs expect fleas

You didn’t even need that little asterisk disclaimer, the cult has been de-fanged by the internet. They are now pretty much helpless in the dirty tricks department and the Streisand Effect
