Unofficial Synopsis For Top Gun 2

It seems that the passing of Tony Scott has not interrupted this project.  Jerry Bruckheimer’s return to Paramount appears to have breathed new life into it.  Here’s the “concept” for the movie as of now;

“The concept is, basically, are the pilots obsolete because of drones. Cruise is going to show them that they’re not obsolete. They’re here to stay. It’s just getting to the starting place. Fortunately for Tom, he’s very busy, so you have to find a slot he can fit into and get a budget that Paramount feels they can make the picture.”

This is one of two projects Bruckheimer is getting into since his return.  The other is Beverly Hills Cop IV, which is allegedly being fast tracked.  Bruckheimer says he left Disney because they kept forcing PG/Family movies on him.  He says that Paramount is giving him “freedom” once again.
