TOP GUN: MAVERICK Commences Principal Photography
One of the late Tony Scott’s biggest, most memorable film successes to date lives on 32 years later with production officially announced for Top Gun: Maverick. Actor Tom Cruise is back in the saddle reprising the lead role as elite Navy pilot, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, reuniting with none other than Oblivion director Joseph Kosinski at the helm for a story that sees our protagonists cope with the advancement of drone warfare over manned piloting.
Official cast announcements from here on remain pending while fans can look forward to the film’s tonal similarity to the first as a “competition film”. Jerry Bruckheimer is back and producing from the 1986 original as will Cruise and David Ellison for Skydance. Top Gun composer, Harold Faltermeyer, is also returning to score.
Cruise and his official PR shared a photo of the first day of filming which you can check out below and hold in mind ahead of its July 12, 2019 release from Paramount Pictures
