Edit: Let's maybe consider that, from what I'm reading at least, Tom Cruise was pretty hands on in the making of this movie. If it had been the sole responsibility of Kosinski who knows if it had been the same glowing reviews for this movie.

I would be very interested in The Black Hole remake.

‘Last Hollywood star of his kind’: Tom Cruise jets into Cannes for ‘Top Gun’ sequel

https://www.france24.com/en/culture/...top-gun-sequel

Tom Cruise touched down in Cannes on Wednesday to launch "Top Gun: Maverick", making his first appearance in three decades at the world's premier film festival and cementing his status as a champion of the big screen.

Cannes waited 30 years for Tom Cruise to return – so a 12-hour wait in the Riviera’s scorching sun was no hassle for Tania Lopez-Palayo, first in line to catch a glimpse of Hollywood’s last great superstar as he hit the red carpet.

When Cruise was last in Cannes for the premiere of the ill-fated "Far and Away" with his then-wife Nicole Kidman, he was just one among many in the Hollywood star system. Thirty years on, he is the only one who can compete with the superhero franchises that now dominate the studios.

In the words of IndieWire, he is “the last Hollywood movie star of his kind – short as ever but still larger-than-life in an age where most famous actors are only as big as their action figures.”

“Tom Cruise has one of the highest success rates in the history of cinema,” Cannes director Thierry Fremaux told reporters. “This is someone that we haven't seen on streaming platforms, TV series, or doing adverts (…). He is someone who is devoted to cinema. To see Tom Cruise, you have to see a feature film in a cinema theatre.”

I just wish this film had been released a few years earlier, or delayed another 6 to 12 months, as either one would have it set up to show some love to the 3D moviegoers.

Top Gun 1 is in 3D after all, it's kind of wild that it's sequel isn't. That said, kudos as well to TC for putting the kibosh on this film being used as "content" for a streaming service.

I could've done without the "Phoenix" role. Hopefully it won't suffer the same curse that hit Order of the Phoenix and the Phoenix X-men flicks.

He's the same height as Napoleon, which explains way too much.

In terms of what the Variety folks ^ view as a lack of BIG acquisition spending at Cannes, well, you bid on what you think could be a big hit film whether you’ve seen a screening of the finished product or, something only in development, like so (last paragraph) –

As an aside, personally, the next ‘Need for Speed’ motion picture that I’m looking forward to which includes some of the same filmmaking names you may recognize, is this - https://www.autoracing1.com/pl/353536
