The newest Tom Cruise rumor has Hollywood clamoring for him to revive Top Gun. "The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor," said an insider, "and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot.”
I don't know if I've ever heard a worse idea. Which of course means it will happen. Hey, if they can bring back Rocky, Rambo and Indiana Jones, why not Top Gun? Cruise isn't nearly as old as Stallone and Ford. If he can draw all the middle-aged women who creamed their panties over him in the original, he'll have a big hit on his hands. And if he could somehow convince his pal Will Smith to sign on...well, this thing could be a monster.
