The Sun UK is reporting that a Top Gun sequel is in the works –
A script outline has been written, but the sequel depends on Cruise, 46, saying yes.
An insider said: “The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor — and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot.â€
Tom Cruise may be batsh*t insane by most measurable methods, but save the delayed-to-hell Nazi flick Valkyrie, he’s done a good job of dodging roles laced with career-poison. However, should that trend magically reverse, we’re gonna need someone to play the “cocky new female pilot” anyway, so we might as well rattle off some casting suggestions now:
5. Katie Holmes
Yes, it’s a bit on the nose, but Mr. and Mrs. Smith was a box office success, and there’d be unprecedented potential for family exploitation in exchange for guilt-free movie promotion.
4. Hilary Swank
She’s got the rough-around-the-edges female pupil gig down pat, plus it might be the closest Cruise gets to an Oscar for quite a while.
3. Sylvester Stallone
A master of the Really Late Sequel, Stallone in drag couldn’t make a Top Gun sequel that much more ridiculous.
2. Jessica Alba
If the movie’s gonna be retarded, might as well go for broke and make it flat-out, Snakes on a Plane, self-awarely bad (and drag someone else’s career down with it), right?
1. Suri Cruise’s Face CGI’d Onto Val Kilmer’s Body
She’s gotta kick-start her career somewhere.
