TOP GUN: MAVERICK Trailer

Ed Harris looks like a penis.

Many callbacks to the original.

Tammy looks old

It’s going to be less of a sequel and more of a THE FORCES AWAKENS style remake.

Miles Teller doesn’t seem to be in the trailer. Too fug, I guess - and I like him. TBH Glen Powell looks more the the spawn of Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan.

Rightwing military infomercial + creepy Scifitology + OP's shillery = Blockbuster Trumpian AgitProp.

Teller's in the trailer in at least two shots. One where he's at the piano and another where he's angrily pointing at someone. That also might be his silhouette twirling the football.

Tom Cruise is too old to still be an active duty military fighter pilot.

A film for the easily amused. Americans will love it.

Tom needs to let some gray grow in and to lay off the fillers.

Does Maverick crush the forces of ISIS forever?

Maverick is guarding Area 51 from nosy incel Millennials.

No matter what you think of Tammy or Top Gun, that score was brilliant.

Is he going through the Danger Zone again?

I am a pacifist but I was young when the original film premiered and I loved Tom’s leather jacket his naked upper body and I wanted to have love scene with him. I also loved all the homoerotic moments of it. And I loved this song, which I don’t listen too often because sing it all day, if I do.

Amazing performance from 2012 maybe? Terri Nunn has kept her voice very well. Impressive.

R13 Teri was crazy hot

Tammy does look old.

Tammy was looking old and puffy in Mission: Impossible - Fallout.

Especially when she was in a scene with Miss Cavill, r16. You really noticed it then.

Can I assume his love interest will not be someone his age but someone two or three decades younger?

Isn't that always the case, r18?

I loved when Colin Farrell was Tom Cruise's love interest in 2002's 'Minority Report!'

R9, Re the planned rush of Area 51, Once i went on a road trip of several spots in the general area including "A'Lien Inn (sp.) We got within a few blocks of Area 51 and were told to immediately turn around by a rather large security guard who suddenly appeared.

Other "off limit" spots in the NV general area have a "shoot 1st, ask questions later" policy. I'm sure that the diners and hotels in the surrounding areas will appreciate the boon in tourist dollars. So will the gas stations.

[quote]Tammy does look old.

I generally think he has aged well, but probably not a smart idea on his part to wear the same clothes and redo some of the same scenes that he did when he was in his early 20's thirty years ago. It really emphasizes how much time has gone by.

The preview opens with a ghoulish shot of Ed Harris looking like he’s oh, I don’t know, say a MILLION years old. But he’s been thrown under the bus because when they cut to TC, the 60 year needs to look - relatively - dewy.

The whole thing feels like they wrote the trailer first and the screenplay later. Creepy.

[quote]The preview opens with a ghoulish shot of Ed Harris looking like he’s oh, I don’t know, say a MILLION years old.

Harris in better days:

Talk about a towel dance!

Will there be a make out scene with bull dyke Kelly McGillis?

Is she in it, R26?

It looks so bad. Tammy is almost 60 years old. And have you seen Val kilmer. Are you freaking kidding me. Who thought this was a good idea. Miles Teller. He's such an arrogant ass.

It is completely impossible that Tammy would still be a fighter pilot at her age. Even flight instructors aren't that old in the military.

I'm definitely gonna watch it and maybe more than once. I loved the movie when it came out. it was soooo hot! all the hot bodies in it and the soundtrack was good too. I love the fighter jets, so exciting...

Navy said after that movie came out, they saw a huge increase in applications and everyone wanted to be fighter pilots LOL

[quote] LOL

LOOL! :)

R30, Even wanted to be fighter pilots but without a college education and/or specified skills and talents most ended up in the bottom of the rung grunt work. Swabbing the deck, running the huge dishwashers, mess duty, etc certainly isn't glamorous.

I think it will be good, Tom Cruise is good in action flicks. very entertaining...

That was a fabulous performance by Teri Nunn!

Isn’t Val Kilmer dead?

He looks it.

They should have done it like Lion King and have animation that looks like the real thing. Maverick would look like Tom circa 1986 but sound like Tom circa 2019. I’d pay to see that shitshow.

R35, I think he had cancer...

Top gun flight scenes were often reuse inside the movie, they at least seems to have invest and filmed some original scenes. The take off from the boat or the plane disapearing behind the mountain look impressive. Apparently they ask the director of the last Mission Impossible to come and help for the script, just like the last MI, they started to shoot before they had the script finished, and were more focused at first on the stunt scenes than on the story...

Face it, most people are gonna want to see the action scenes, you don't see that in many movies. I can't wait to see it.

Hot men in uniform, what's not to like? And then they will take off their clothes for beach volleyball, more hot bodies...what's not to like?

I can't lie it looks good.

But Tammy's EGO is all over it. He can't play someone who is not the hero. So far it doesn't look like it will have a big focus on Teller's character, but it's only a trailer.

Isn't he a little old for this shit?

Everybody stupid enough to pay to see this crap is funding a dangerous cult and is also anti-cinema.

After he jumped the couch, Tammy developed a buggy on screen self-awareness that has plagued him in every picture including this by the looks of it. And it's very off-putting to watch. But otherwise, this one looks pretty good.

I really hope there is a reference to McGillis' character.

Jennifer Connelly is going to play the love interest this time, it seems.

I wonder if Meg Ryan will show up with another new face.

Who let the air out of Tammy's face? Jesus fuck she looks terrible. Ed Harris looks embalmed. Who was the guy with his shirt off? Hot body. I cannot believe Kilmer was cast.

I take it back, Miles Teller actually does look like Anthony Edwards.

Am I the only one who never saw the original? Even as a teen I was turned off by the pro-military propaganda

What’s Glen Powell’s skin color?

Glenn Powell's a white guy.

TC lacks the conviction and strength when saying his lines one would expect of a military man who's not a newbie.

[quote]Hoping for more homoeroticism

With Tom Cruise and Miles Teller starring? Not likely

No Rick Rossovich?

R53 WTF happened to him?

It looks GREAT

"Am I the only one who never saw the original?"

No. I never had any desire to see it back in '86, or since, no matter how popular it has become.

That whole macho/military thing is so overrated and ridiculous.

"Look at me! I'm a REAL MAN because I fly jets for the Air Force!" (Or whatever branch of the military this movie represents. Does it really fucking matter?)

But Tom Cruise was SO HOT in 1986!

How could you pass that up?

I think the film is remembered more for its homoeroticism than its machismo.

Homoeroticism at its hottest!

All gay men in 1986 wanted Tom to lean in closer and kiss Rick Rossovich.

The aging of these two characters is on purpose. A lot of time has passed and Naval Aviation has changed tremendously. The glory days of fighter pilots are over. The character of Maverick is not willing to bow to that. Everything is about drones. So he keeps trying to prove that fighter pilots are still essential to the Navy. He won't quit! The Admiral is telling him his time is done. This the story that keeps him a Maverick.

R59 as a teenager I watched the scene over and over again. I bought the video and played this scene every time I was home alone.

Why, R62?

This is not unlike the upcoming sequel to another hit movie from 1986, 9 ½ Weeks. The new film, 36 ½ YEARS, catches up with the psychosexual adventures of Mickey Rourke and Kim Bassinger as they reunite in an assisted living facility in Brooklyn.

Shouldn't Goose's son be in his 40's

R64, I hope you're joking.

At least they cast an age appropriate (presumed) love interest in Jennifer Connelly. She's only 8 years younger than him. That's some progress I guess.

All true, R66. There's also the upcoming Ferris Bueller's Decades Off, where Matthew Broderick returns to his most famous role and grapples with how he has somehow let his entire life slip away.

Why not?

They're going to do the famous volleyball scene again, but after 33 years it's going to look a little different.

What about the Kelly McGillis character? I think I saw a picture of her a couple of years ago and she looks more like Cruises' grandmother now (is she older than him?), but still unfair that all the washed up/botoxed men (hello Val Kilmer) are in the sequel but not the women. Of course Cruise gets a younger and hotter love interest now.

I wish they had done this sequel 15 or 20 years ago when all the men were still remotely hot. I'm not really into grandpa beach volleyball.

[quote]Shouldn't Goose's son be in his 40's

The kid was about 2-3 in the original so he’s be 36ish today.

Kelly McGillis today.

R56, it's the NAVY!

I always thought Kelly McGillis was too old in the original.

Val Kilmer was in his prime, probably the hottest, he had a great flat top hairstyle.

Everyone was in their prime...

R63 Think of it. I was horny teenager and found those shirtless sweaty actors hot. I imagined how their bodies would feel and having sex with them and then j/o while watching. Many times. Daily for some time.

I always thought Rick Rossovich was so much hotter than Cruise and you could actually believe that RR was a fighter pilot. Pint-sized Tommy faked macho okay, but he couldn't fake height.

I'm sure Val Kilmer won't make an appearance.

Yes, he's in the new movie.

I can't believe Val Kilmer is still alive. He's had throat cancer for at least two years now.

I think Val even campaigned for a role just as the movie was getting off the ground in the planning stages. He appeared all over LA in his old flight jacket or something. He was trying to show that he was alive and had overcome his cancer to the level of being able to work.

I'm sure his part is tiny in the sequel.

Kelly McGillis is also a homosexual. Tammy would probably set up Scientology tents on set and try to cure her with vitamins, massages and saunas.

Kelly and Jodie Foster were allegedly dykein' it out during filming of The Accused.

[quote]I'm sure his part is tiny in the sequel.

I'm reliably informed it's average.

I have never heard of Tom trying to convert homosexuals to heterosexuality.

He has sex with men and makes them sign insane NDAs and vociferously enforces them, as seen by that one model/porn star who outed him.

Tom has never tried to convert either. He hires beards who know exactly what they are getting into.

I hope I live long enough to read the inevitable Tammy Dearest book Suri will write.

I remember in early 1988, I was living in Austin and a friend of mine was living in Los Angeles and worked in movie sets (yes, she's a lesbian).

She called me up one night to tell me how on the set of a new movie that the two women were having an affair, of course, being Jodie Foster and Kelly McGillis. But the shocker, she said, was the hottest star in music at the time, Whitney Houston herself, had barged into the studio all drunk and yelling at everyone. SHE was having an affair with either Kelly or Jodie and was pissed off to find out about being "cheated" on with the third woman.

It was so shocking! Of course, no one believed in 1988 that Jodie was straight but the other two were supposedly straight.

When the story about the triangle affair leaked out later, so many people refused to believe it.

I believed it, though. And when Kelly came out and Jodie finally came out, added in with the confirmed rumors about Whitney, of course the 1988 story was true.

Scientologists hate homosexuals. So whatever Tammy does in his bedroom behind closed doors, is not something his religion supports. He had Scientology tents on the set of War of the Worlds and Spielberg was not amused. Their "friendship" cooled down after that.

And yet, Miss Cabbage KNOWS what Tom does behind closed does and doesn't give a fuck. NO ONE at Scientology gives a fuck what ANY of their celebrity gay members do at all.

It's all about MONEY. These aren't people with religious "morals" condemning gay people. It's just a script to keep the illusion of a real religion with tax-exempt status going.

Scientology's leaders/whatever don't give a fuck that Tom is gay and he knows it.

It's odd that Cruise hasn't publicly "dated" a woman since his divorce from Katie Holmes, which was seven years ago. That's a very long time for a guy who's so obsessed with his image to go without being in a "relationship" for PR purposes.

I don't care about TC's religion, it's a free country, he can believe what he wants. I will keep watching his movies because I enjoy good action flicks.

[Quote]you could actually believe that RR was a fighter pilot. Pint-sized Tommy faked macho okay, but he couldn't fake height.

Actually most fighter pilots are on the short side. The cockpits are very cramped.

Funny how in the trailer he's flying an F18 Super Hornet, a variation of an aircraft that first went into service in 1978. Shows you just how long it takes to bring a new fighter aircraft into service and how long they continue flying them.

While Tom's divorce from Wife Beard #3 was in the works. actress Nazanin Boniadi revealed that she was approached to play the part of Tom's real life girlfriend but she declined.

An actual bearding contract attempt EXPOSED!

I don't think anyone in Hollywood with 2 working brain cells wants to be associated with this freak. He probably fucks a lot of Scientologists behind closed doors but doesn't want to publicly date one of them.

WOW! You guys mean things in the movies are not true to life??

I AM COMPLETELY BAFFLED!

He's not just a couple years past his sell-by date, smug Miss r94. He's nearly TWENTY YEARS past it. Most fighter pilots are done around age 40.

R95 But wasn't he already an instructor and no longer a fighter pilot when the first movie ended? I guess instructors do not retire at 40.

R86 Crackney Houston was probably already a coke head/fiend.

Tom and Henry Cavill made for a sexy duo last year.

My one regret in life. Never dated a guy in uniform.

I wish it would bomb. And flattened Tammy's big ego. He single-handedly killed the dark universe franchise with his stupid ass Mummy movie. He's 60 years old and he's still doing action movies, give me a goddamn break. With his overdone Botox face. Won't see his daughter because she's not a Scientologist.

And yet Mission Impossible: Fallout was a monstrous global hit last year, disproving Tom’s toxicity at the box office.

Tom is on CONAN’s Friday show. He’s just so gosh darn earnest. He looks good though for his age (57). I have zero interest in seeing his new movie though.

If it wasn't for the Top Gun franchise, Tommy wouldn't have a job

I'm no fan of Tammy's. I find his acting insincere, but you can't argue with bottom line: his movies still make tonnes of cash when movie makers are struggling to find lucrative leading men.

R104 I think if you take marketing into consideration, which film companies like us not to, his films are not huge moneymakers

Prediction: Tammy will be filming his first gay sex scene shortly after his 60th birthday.

He’s one of the few actors I can think of who’s never played a gay role. INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE doesn't count.

I'll wait for Netflix.

I hate Tom but I wanna watch this.

[quote]He’s one of the few actors I can think of who’s never played a gay role. INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE doesn't count.

Few? Pretty sure Clooney, Pitt, Denzel, and Gibson haven’t played gay characters either.

I don't like Tom personally but I do like his movies. They deliver. The last Mission Imossible was absolutely fantastic, a really solid action film that was a nice diversion from all the comic book movies.

Interesting though that Cruise no longer seems to do those meaty dramas like Rain Man, Born on the 4th of July or Magnolia anymore. It seems to be strictly action nowadays. Did the Botox take the ability to emote away?

R111, yes, I wish he did more dramas, maybe when he gets older...

He isn't a bad actor. He was nominated for Born on the 4th of July but lost out to Daniel Day Lewis for My Left foot..

Yes, he was very good in that film r112.

He was excellent in Rain Man, Risky Business and The Firm.

You would think he would be doing more dramas at his age. But his ego doesn't seem to let him do character or supporting roles, and yet in films like Tropic Thunder or Magnolia, he gave some strong supporting performances.

I think what happened with Spielberg plays a part in why he mostly does action roles these days.

Tom's skin (forehead) looked dappled with divots in that scene with Ed Harris (whom wardrobe needed to give a turtleneck for such close ups).

I hate that Jon Hamm is in this--in ANY capacity, let alone Miles Fucking Teller. Arrogant and fug. Not a bad actor overall, though. I see the love interest is going to be ACADEMY AWARD WINNER JENNIFER CONNELLY.

It's funny because I just don't give much of a shit about the planes and the flying and all that shit; I liked all the buddy stuff with Goose and the ridiculously homoerotic shit with Ice (and of course the volleyball game). But while that fast-paced jet action was exciting in 1986, that kind of extreme stuff just feels like very beautifully-filmed retread from Air Force vids on YouTube. Think I'm gonna skip this.

‘Maverick, I don’t know how to tell you this but we found your profile picture on a website about guys who look like old lesbians’

Jon Hamm is in it?

[quote]The "You Lost That Loving Feeling" scene STILL makes me cringe

R115, did you also hate the wretched takeoff on this 11 years later by Jerry O'Connell in SCREAM 2?

[quote]Miles Teller doesn’t seem to be in the trailer. Too fug, I guess - and I like him. TBH Glen Powell looks more the the spawn of Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan

When they announced Miles Teller as Goose's son, I thought it was stupid casting as he doesn't look like Edwards or Ryan.

I’ll watch it on demand when it’s available. I want to see it - but not enough to go to the cinema for it. Especially now that on demand tends to get movies so quickly. Back when you had to wait 6-8 months for the dvd/Blu-ray to come out and up to a year for cable - i’d go see this during it’s theatre run....but now between having a 4K tv and short wait times, a movie damn near has to be an Oscar contender for me to go see it when released.

It does look interesting though - I just wish I could tell more of what the plot is other than Maverick being old and attempts to push him out of active flight service by younger pilots/commanders. Age discrimination sucks, but as the plot for a blockbuster movie?

Jay Ellis from Insecure is in it. He is HOT.

What happened with Spielberg r114?

Not R114, I think Cruise's issues with Spielberg have to do with Cruise's past attempt to get Spielberg and his wife into Scientology. I can't remember the story that well. Other DL posters probably remember it more.

I think Cruises' Scientology friends harrassed a psychiatrist after Cruise overheard a conversation Spielberg had with a friend. The psychiatrist was a family friend and Spielbergs wife was not amused. Cruise also did not like that Spielberg's wife invited Katie for lunch and did not ask his permission or let him know where they went first. Cruise told Capshaw she should also always give Spielberg a copy of her daily schedule vor something and get his approval for her activities. Spielberg and Capshaw were both irritated and told Cruise to fuck off repeatedly but Cruise wouldn't let it go till they finally had a very public fight at a party.

R124, What was the deal with Daphne Zuniga?

r125 I think they (the Scientologists) used her to get close to Spielberg and influence him bc Cruise thought his wife was ruining his friendship with Spielberg. They also tried to blackmail Capshaw and hired PIs who offered information to several newspapers.

Also Cruise wanted a $cieno recruitment tent or something similar on the set of War of the Worlds. Spielberg wasn’t having it.

He HAD Scieno tents on the WotW set. Spielberg was not amused after journalists asked him if he thought it was appropriate to have a cult offering weird services at people's workplace. Cruise also talked more about his cult than the movie during promotion which pissed Spielberg off.

Cruise's crazy ass interview with Matt Lauer was also during War of the Worlds promotions.

How does Zuniga know Spielberg or is she friends with Kate?

I don't think Zuniga has ever worked with Spielberg? I could be wrong.

War of the Worlds wasn't a very good movie. It was kind of embarrassing.

Yeah, it seems that the working relationship was better on Minority Report than War of the Worlds.

Cruise really descended into madness during 2004-05. What happened? Was that when his sister was his publicist?

Yes, r132. Cruise's long-time publicist Pat Kingsley was able to keep the lid on Tom's crazy for years, but then she retired and his sister took over. That's when the shit hit the fan.

Something tells me that Tom, even now, doesn't regret getting rid of Pat 😕

Tom wasn't wrong...Matt was glib. He probably heard about all the nasty shit about him too.

[quote]War of the Worlds wasn't a very good movie. It was kind of embarrassing.

I saw it in theaters because a friend had won tickets through a contest and invited me. We both disliked the movie.

i didn't like War of the Worlds either. The characters were obnoxious (Dakota Fanning was obnoixous and irritating), and the cinematography looked ugly.

Haters fall back. Tom is the GOAT of blockbuster pics. This film is gna be amazing. And please stop calling him Tammy; its rather homophobic.

How about Tomi?

Also, I'm a fan of War of the Worlds. It's got its issues, but it's a more interesting and compelling watch than most run of the mill blockbusters. There's at least some semblance of craft involved.

I liked the first 30 minutes of WotW, the rest was just mediocre and boring, especially the part with Tim Robbins in the basement.

I think Nicole Kidman was also a huge influence and kept him away from Scientology as much as possible. His friend David M did not like this and apparently told Tommy to dump his wife. Pat Kingsley never allowed journalists to ask any controversial questions about bis religion. Why did he dump her? Too much money or did the church wanted him to talk more about Scientology in public and Kingsley did not approve?

R138 Fuck you lil bitch, we will call him Tammy or any other name we feel like calling him.

Does he really live in the penthouse of that weird condo building in Clearwater, Florida? He has/had beautiful homes elsewhere?

Sometimes you should let sleeping dogs lie. There better be a hell of a story in this movie. Tom Cruise looks OLD

He was trying to sell his beautiful Co. home a few years back, wonder if anyone bought it.

Clearwater is a fucking dump.

It looks so horrible. Please. No.

Are the Thetans hiding out in Area 51?

Hamm recently teased the film in an interview with Collider in which he said, “They’re using some technology on this that is never before seen.

“We’re shooting the movie in, I think, 6K,” Hamm added. “So it’s incredibly hi-def. The aerial footage is mind-blowing. And it’s mostly practical. There’s not a lot of CG. Those guys are really up in planes and getting thrown around in multiple Gs.”

Top Gun: Maverick is set for a June 26, 2020 release.

I can't wait to see it!

I'd rather see Hamm's cock flying around in 6K.

R149 they might as well just recreate this meme

Trailer 2 is online

Tomm looks great. He's older but had he's allowed his fillers to settle before shooting.

Hunter is okay, I guess. But, Cole is old and gross. Are they both going to top Tom Cruise?

[quote] Scientologists hate homosexuals.

No, they don't. They love the self loathing gays who beg them for their snake oil cure for homosexuality which they claim to have. They exploit homophobia and self loathing for their own financial gain and also gain of power over closet cases (to blackmail them). Their "gay cure" is probably their biggest money maker and recruitment tool (and kids being born into the cult).

Grounded. At least until summer of 2021.

I understand the producers' wanting this to be seen in theatres: this is the kind of project that could get lost in a straight-to-streaming release. OTOH, by the time this finally gets seen, it will already be 2 years old.

Here's hoping movie theatres are back by then.

Looks like crap

Tammy's new fighter is the bomb.

Tom Cruise is now older than Tom Skerritt was when he played Viper in the original Top Gun (1986).

During a July 2019 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kelly McGillis said that she was not asked to appear in this movie. When asked why she thought she wasn't contacted, she said, it was likely because "I'm old and I'm fat and I look age-appropriate for what my age is, and that is not what that whole scene is about. I'd much rather feel absolutely secure in my skin and who and what I am at my age, as opposed to placing a value on all that other stuff."

Jennifer Connelly has been cast as Penny Benjamin. In the original Top Gun (1986), that character is referenced by Goose as being the daughter of an Admiral that Maverick had dated. As of the 1986 version, Connelly was a minor aged 16. Connelly is 8 years younger than Tom Cruise.
