Tom Cruise is 'working on Top Gun 3' with new production despite contract with rival studio

Los Angeles, (IANS) Hollywood star Tom Cruise is working on ‘Top Gun 3’ with Paramount, despite his huge deal with a rival studio.

The 61-year-old actor, who is best known for starring as IMP agent Ethan Hunt in much-loved franchise ‘Mission: Impossible’ and Pete Mitchell in ‘Top Gun’, is developing a new sequel of the latter, reports Mirror.co.uk.

As per reports, Tom is working alongside Paramount to produce a new ‘Top Gun’ movie, despite having just signed a deal with Warner Brothers.

Just a few days ago, Tom and Warner Brothers' chief David Zaslav shook hands when they announced the ‘Mission: Impossible’ star was being brought in as a key producer for several franchise films with the iconic film studios

As per Mirror.co.uk, despite him now working with rival studio Warner Brothers, Tom is working on a new ‘Top Gun’ movie with Paramount, with "a script being written" by Maverick writer Ehren Kruger.

The likes of Miles Teller and Glen Powell are all expected to return for the third instalment of the hit movie franchise. Although the news of a new ‘Top Gun’ sequel has only just emerged, ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ has said "the reality is this sequel has quietly been in development since late fall."

They also said that fans should not expect to see the new ‘Top Gun’ movie in the near future, because the legendary action-movie actor is currently working on an 8th ‘Mission: Impossible movie’, "which will keep him occupied until at least its release, currently set for May 2025."This comes after Tom signed a deal to develop and produce theatrical films with Warner Bros. Discovery. The movies that he will work on will also star him, with the deal dubbed as a "strategic partnership".

A Good Day to Die Hard

A few days ago I was asked a hypothetical question. “If you could stop one person working in cinema forever, who would it be?” The usual names flew through my head: Michael Bay, Adam Sandler, M Night Shyamalan, Uwe Boll, maybe Brett Ratner. But I took the high ground, saying that even if I didn’t like (or even outright despised) these people’s work, I didn’t think they shouldn’t be making films. But last night I saw A Good Day to Die Hard and things have changed. Director John Moore should never, ever be allowed on a film set again for the rest of his natural life. A Good Day to Die Hard is a staggeringly incompetent, borderline unwatchable film. From top to bottom it’s total shit. The more you think about it the worse it
gets, each layer you peel back revealing something fouler. Before seeing this I had relatively high hopes - the original Die Hard is perfectly constructed, and the two subsequent sequels are not without their charms. I definitely saw Die Hard 4.0 on it’s 2007 release, but it’s probably telling that I can remember

Check Out Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Bruce Willis In 'Looper' On DVD, Blu-ray & More Dec. 31


Looper
A hired gun from the future discovers that his greatest adversary is himself in "Looper," a twisting sci-fi mindbender starring Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
In the year 2047 time travel has yet to be invented. Thirty years later, however, it has. Though immediately outlawed, time-travel technology is quickly appropriated by the mob, and used to cleanly dispose of
anyone deemed a threat. The process is simple: When the mob wants someone to disappear, they simply send them back to the year 2047, where an assassin known as a "looper" quickly carries out the hit, and disposes of the body. Joe Simmons (Gordon-Levitt) is one of the most respected loopers around. Each kill earns him a big payday, and he's got big plans to retire to France. Then, one day, as Joe patiently awaits the appearance of his next target near the edge of a remote corn field, he's shocked to come face-to-face with his future self (Bruce Willis). When the younger Joe hesitates, the older Joe makes a daring escape. Now, in order to avoid the wrath of his underworld boss (Jeff Daniels), young Joe must "close the loop" and kill his older counterpart. Meanwhile, the revelation that a powerful crime boss in the future has set the underworld ablaze pits the two Joes on a violent collision course, with the fate of a devoted mother (Emily Blunt) and her young son hanging in the balance. Paul Dano and Piper Perabo co-star.  Source: Starpulse.com
