ironroad Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Hasn't this been done before? http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/stealth-2005 Bruckheimer said that drone concept was cooked up by Tony Scott, the director of the first film who committed suicide in 2012. That may explain the suicide... "Top Gun" isn't the only one of the veteran producer's greatest hits that is getting revived. Bruckheimer is working on a sequel to "Beverly Hills Cop" that will pair Eddie Murphy with director Brett Ratner ("Rush Hour"). Filming may start at the end of summer or the beginning of the fall, he said."I'm going to take Eddie back to Detroit," Bruckheimer said. "He's going to be in Beverly Hills, take him to Detroit. So, we're going to have some fun with him. And he's really excited about doing it." Edited April 16, 2014 by ironroad Quote

+SayethWhaaaa Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Christ, don't remind me about Stealth. I paid actual money to see that... 3 Quote
+JonathanRL Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 ...and you will never get the time nor the money back for it either :P 2 Quote
+Swordsman422 Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 This movie hasn't been made yet and already I wan't my money back. The first was an incredible film, beautifully shot if not brilliantly acted. So many ideas were way ahead of the time. And the daring subtext, I mean, it was what? twenty years before Brokeback Mountain. In all seriousness, I appreciate the movie for what it is, even if it did permanently label all Tomcat fans as Maverick wanna-bes. They don't need to make another. Quote
Skyviper Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Christ, don't remind me about Stealth. I paid actual money to see that... You and me both brother (whew glad I wasn't the only one) ... it was a nice plane though... that's about the only plus to that movie was the plane. Quote
KJakker Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Thought I would mention that I found this 1986 review of Top Gun you might like to read. http://www.nytimes.com/1986/05/27/movies/top-gun-ingenious-dogfights.html Quote

+Dave Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 WTF? What's next, Total Recall without blood and fucking Colin...oh, wait...no... The newer Total Recall was awesome. Much more like the book. Quote
TeaAndScones Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I wouldn't want this movie to be made out of respect for the late Tony Scott. Otherwise it's all like "Eh, we didn't need him anyway." :P Then again, I suppose if the film centered on a 'rivalry' of sorts between Man vs. Machine, it could turn out to be slightly okay. DatBritish. Quote
macelena Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 The newer Total Recall was awesome. Much more like the book. To be honest, Phillip K Dick´s work has usually been the exception to the rule that the book was better than the film, Blade Runner being the prime example, at least in my opinion. The point about Total Recall, Blade Runner or Minority Report is that they are not as much as Phillip K Dick´s as they are Paul Verhoeven, Ridley Scott or Steven Speilberg movies wich had a great underlaying idea wich was (again, in my opinion and taste) better done in the films that in the book. I didn´t like either of the books as much as i did with the films (yeah, even the Tom Cruise one...damn, this guy is everywhere in this topic) Paul Verhoeven is...well, a bit of a weirdo, but i liked his touch in Total Recall and the original Robocop. However, the new Recall, while you have to see it as an unrelated movie (even with the obvious homages) and is cool (as much as Minority Report was, aesthetically quite familiar despite the years gone by) is, automatically compared to the older version. Not that is was bad, as much as a drone Top Gun film could be awesome, but it lacks what made the original stand out. You just have to see them as different movies. I still haven´t watched the new Robocop, despite the cast, due to missing Verhoeven´s ludicrous gore. AAAAAAAAAAAND i got the "Stealth" DVD. I just keep replaying the scene with Jessica Biel in a bikini, but still, that makes me the No.1 Fan in terms of commitment here Quote
