Quest: Movies

This article has to be 150 words, so it might be a bit boring, but the things we do for some free gold... only if it was free... after all I had to pay for the newspaper.

Well, since it is meant to be about movies, I would talk about the new Top Gun film. Is it me or did anyone else find the early trailers a bit sub par (or sh$t) considering they used a ton of footage from the previous one?

DevelopmentDevelopment of the film began in 2010 when Paramount Pictures made offers to Jerry Bruckheimer and Tony Scott to make a sequel to Top Gun. Christopher McQuarrie had also received an offer to write the sequels screenplay, which was rumored to have Cruises character Maverick in a smaller role. Ultimately, Peter Craig, Justin Marks, who described the film as a dream project, Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz would be credited as screenwriters on the project.
When asked about his idea for a new Top Gun film, Scott replied, This world fascinated me, because its so different from what it was originally. But I dont want to do a remake. I dont want to do a reinvention. I want to do a new movie. The film will reportedly focus on the end of the dog fighting era and the role of drones in modern aerial warfare and that Cruises character, Maverick, will fly an F/A-18 Super Hornet. After Scotts suicide, the sequels future remained in question. However, producer Jerry Bruckheimer remained committed to the project, especially given Cruises and Kilmers interest.
In June 2017, Cruise revealed that the title would be Top Gun: Maverick, with Harold Faltermeyer returning as composer for the sequel. Cruise further stated that, Aviators are back, the need for speed. Were going to have big, fast machines. Its going to be a competition film, like the first one … but a progression for Maverick. Later the same month, it was confirmed that the film would be directed by Joseph Kosinski, while no title was officially confirmed.
Musician Kenny Loggins has confirmed that his iconic song Danger Zone will be featured in the film. In October 2018, it was reported that Hans Zimmer would also compose for the film alongside Harold Faltermeyer. 
On June 19, 2019, at CineEurope in Barcelona, attendees were able to watch for the first time some early footage of the film from a special Paramount presentation. During the presentation the President of International Theatrical Distribution Mark Viane and Co-President of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution Mary Daily appeared in flight clothes.
