It looks like Maverick is coming back for more aerial stunts to the danger zone. Tom Cruise confirmed the long-rumored sequel during a recent interview with Australian morning show “Sunrise“. “It is definitely happening,” Cruise said when asked about the sequel. The actor also mentioned that the movie will go in production next year.

Directed by the late Tony Scott, the romantic military action drama was released in 1986 and became a commercial success, grossing $356 million. That movie’s soundtrack sold 9x multiplatinum and somewhat responsible for the film’s legacy after the song “Take My Breath Away” won Academy Award for Best Original Song. Despite mixed critical reception during its release, the movie has since developed a cult following and later won for an IMAX 3D re-release in 2013.

Talk of a Top Gun sequel have been on and off for years.Cruise’s character “Maverick”, a cocky and reckless navy pilot who later fell for flight instructor Charlie, is one of the most well known in the actor’s filmography. But planned stalled after Tony Scott, younger brother of film director Sir Ridley Scott, committed suicide in 2012. Sequel plans picked up again after it was reported that writer Justin Marks was in negotiations to work on the sequel.

Zack Snyder


In a sad turn of events, director Zack Snyder who has been linchpin of DC Cinematic Universe for a few years now, is stepping away from his roles in the upcoming ‘Justice League’ movie to deal with a family tragedy.

Snyder and wife producer Deborah Snyder recently lost their daughter Autumn to suicide last March. “In my mind, I thought it was a cathartic thing to go back to work, to just bury myself and see if that was the way through it,” said Snyder to the Hollywood Reporter.

“What they are going through is unimaginable, and my heart, our hearts, go out to them,” says Warner Bros. Pictures president Toby Emmerich.

Stepping in to finish the project will be Joss Whedon, who recently made news for making a jump from Marvel to DC and is “nearing a deal to write, direct and produce” a Batgirl movie as part of DC’s Extended Universe.

According to the article, Whedon will work through post and the “shooting of some additional scenes,” and that the movie is still scheduled for its original Nov.17 release date.

The tweet was followed by a note from his children Deborah, Geoffrey and Christian, mentioning his work in films, tv and with UNICEF. “What you Pops for being you, and for being so very special to so many people.”

Between 1973 to 1985, Moore played Bond 7 times, which includes Live and Let Die (1973), The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Moonraker (1979), For Your Eyes Only (1981), Octopussy (1983), and A View To A Kill (1985).

“Zombieland” director Ruben Fleischer is also set to direct the Spider-man spinoff. Sony Pictures took to Twitter to post the announcement and start of production this fall, with a picture of Hardy himself wearing a Venom shirt.

The English actor was last involved in a comic book movie in 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises,” where he played another supervillain Bane. He recently reunited with that film’s director Christopher Nolan for this July’s “Dunkirk”.

Similarly, this is not the first time that Venom’s character is getting a cinematic treatment. He was the main villain in 2007’s Spider-Man, where he was played by Topher Grace.

In the comics, the character debuted in 1998’s The Amazing Spider-Man #300. Originally conceived as a supervillain, the symbiote sentient alien character has since evolved into an antihero. David S. Goyer originally planned a similar motion picture production before the film rights went to Sony.

According to Exhibitor Relations, Venom is slated for October 5, 2018 release.

New York, NY—May 19, 2017—Cassian Andor and his reprogrammed Imperial security droid K-2SO have a partnership that rivals the closeness of Luke Skywalker and R2-D2. But like all great stories, that wasn’t always the case. So how did the great partnership of human and droid come to be? This August, find out the real history between the two characters when Marvel releases STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE – CASSIAN & K-2SO SPECIAL #1, written by acclaimed author Duane Swierczynski (Cable, Punisher: Frank Castle) with art by Fernando Blanco (Marvel Zombies, Thunderbolts).

Despite fighting to protect the galaxy, Cassian Andor and K-2SO haven’t always been on the same side of the Galactic Civil War – and readers will find out why in this new story, which includes the two characters meeting each other for the very first time.

“When I first heard about ROGUE ONE, I was thrilled,” said series writer Duane Swierczynski. “A heist movie set in the Star Wars universe? Are you kidding? Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be invited to tell a small piece of that story. And it was even cooler that I was asked to write about the first meeting of Cassian and K-2SO — easily my two favorite characters in the movie. What can I say? I love bad-asses and robots.”
