Cruise working on 'Top Gun' sequel
Tom Cruise has confirmed that he is working on a 'Top Gun' sequel.
The 'Mission Impossible' star wants to do a follow up to the 1986 action movie – which featured the actor as an advanced fighter pilot – that is in "the same kind of tone" as the first film.
Cruise said: "We're working on it. I hope we can figure this out to go do it again.
"If we can find a story that we all want to do, we all want to make a film that is in the same kind of tone as the other one and shoot it in the same way as we shot 'Top Gun'."
Tony Scott, who produced the first film, is set to direct the forthcoming movie, but Cruise thinks it is unlikely that Christopher McQuarrie - who had looked set to pen the script for it the upcoming project – will take on the role because the writer is still busy directing 'One Shot'.
He explained: "I don't think Chris [McQuarrie] is going to write it. Chris is directing 'One Shot' right now, which I'm acting. We've got to go back in January and finish it."
But the 49-year-old star is keen to work with Tony and 'Top Gun' producer Jerry Bruckheimer on another motion picture, and the trio have been thinking of ideas for a sequel.
He added to MTV News: "I said to Tony I want to make another movie with him. He and I haven't made a film since 'Days of Thunder'.
"Tony and I and Jerry, we never thought that we would do it again. Then they started to come to us with these ideas of where it is now. I thought, 'Wow, that would be ... what we could do now.' "
