Justin Marks is writing Top Gun 2 for Paramount Pictures. We were hoping for a Goose prequel, ourselves...
Put this one in the "belated sequel" file with Goonies 2 and Beetlejuice 2 and who knows what else. But it's official, and quite real, not a threat, that Top Gun 2 is happening. More real now than it was yesterday, since Justin Marks is now writing the script.
You may recognize Marks' name from Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, or from his two unproduced (but quite good) geek-friendly screenplays for Green Arrow: Escape From Supermax and Grayskull: The Masters of the Universe. He's currently the writer of one of the two competing Jungle Book live-action adaptations (the Paramount one with Idris Elba and Bill Murray, not the WB one with Andy Serkis and Christian Bale).
Jerry Bruckheimer (of course) is producing Top Gun 2 with David Ellison and Dana Goldberg. More as we hear it.
