The sequel to the famous 1986 film expected on May 18th in Cannes. The producer: this time the unnamed enemy. The actor instructed the young colleagues on the fly
At the world premiere in San Diego of the sequel to his most beloved film last week, he showed up driving a helicopter, landing on the Midway aircraft carrier. Still not clear what to do Tom Cruise, 60 next July, in Cannes where the film expected on 18 May. With Top Gun Maverick (in the room with Eagles Pictures on the 25th), the star starts again 36 years later from Lieutenant Pete Maverick Mitchell (Cruise), a formidable pilot who has avoided any promotion so as not to give up flying. It’s up to him to train the team of students of the Top Gun academy for a secret mission, where in addition to finding Iceman (a touching Val Kilmer) he will meet Lieutenant Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), son of Goose, his old flight partner and best friend who died in the accident that marked their lives. And the history of cinema in the 1980s. Released in 1986 – grossing over $ 350 million – it remains a cult movie that made Cruise the longest-running star in Hollywood. A sequel was a risk. I thought about it for years admitted the actor, also producer. The first problem was to replace Tony Scott, who passed away in 2012. In his place, there is Joseph Kosinski. Not an imitation, nor a cover of Top gun. But the sound that. With the Hold my hand of Lady Gaga already certified success.
Fear to fly
A huge undertaking, confirms al Courier the producer, already of the original, Jerry Bruckheimer. They couldn’t ruin the memory of such an iconic film. It keeps that flavor but with today’s technology. Tom designed the training program for the young actors, they spent three months in four Boeing F18s, to perform in impossible conditions, like having an elephant on their chest. Among the new grafts, Jennifer Connelly. I’m Penny, only nominated in the original film – he tells us -. A single mother. She has a business of hers, the bar where all the pilots go, she goes sailing, she faces life with joy. She doesn’t depend on any man. Even the US aviation world is less macho than 30 years ago. I also liked that there is a woman among the pilots. A problem for her, she confesses. The fear of flying, I had worked on it before but I was tested when I flew with Tom. I think it was therapeutic, he is really an extraordinary driver and he freed me from fear. TO Miles Teller (launched by Chazelle with Whiplash) the burden of remembering Goose. I’m Rooster, the son. Challenging inheritance. There is also a scene where I sing as he did Great Balls of Fire. He has a complicated relationship with Maverick who considers him a godson of him. Cruise, he says, coached like Maverick. We had to pretend we were fighter pilots. Tom a leader, a great motivator. Filmed before the pandemic, he arrives in the theater as a blood war is bloodshed in Ukraine. We certainly couldn’t imagine, says Bruckheimer. The enemy – in 1986 the Soviet Mig pilots – here never named. a film about team spirit, about the importance of never leaving your partner alone, about love. And about Tom: about what today, about the journey he has traveled. Always with a leather jacket and teardrop glasses.
