[With Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun” 30th Anniversary Blu-ray/DVD now available, actor Rick Rossovich tells SOHH why 80s flicks keep getting remade and how come a “Top Gun 2” may never happen.]
I think a lot of decisions are being made because of the business and movies have to be made and they like they idea of there being a return, so they’re going to go back to the well as much as they can.
With that being said, “Top Gun,” “Terminator,” and “Terminator 2” is a much bigger movie, better movie probably, but you look at the “Terminator” movie that I was in, that was the one where the Library of Congress selected. That’s the one that first headed over to China.
The same thing was true about “Top Gun.” They made derivative movies right afterwards. But “Top Gun” is what it is and I’m sure if there was ever another film made [it’d have to live up to the first.]
Paramount is more than protective of the first one and would never do anything that diminished the quality of what we did. If they want to build on it god bless them.
his rep is only going to get worse, hell his PR team had to stretch back over a decade to plant a positive story about him [the astronaut trying story]… he hasn’t seen his daughter Suri coming up to 4 years this July [not 1000 days like the tabloid media are saying] but has been seen with his scientology kids. he’s a busted flush and a Hollywood laughing stock… yeah, thats why he sold up in Hollywood – his peers laugh at him or even boo him [remember that baseball game he was with Connor?]. Top Gun 2 is a disaster in the making as more and more horror stories are going to come out about his cult that he’ll actually be hated unless he leaves it… and that doesn’t look likely.
I live in San Diego, not too far from Miramar and the NTC, where much of the movie was filmed. Top Gun 2 would be a great gift to our Men and Women in uniform. Just sayin.
