Tony Scott Confirms "Top Gun 2," Reveals Story Ideashttp://worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=19470&count=0About a week ago, we reported that Paramount Pictures has made offers to producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott to develop a sequel to "Top Gun." Now, during his press rounds for "Unstoppable," Scott not only confirmed that he has already signed on for the film, but revealed a few of his ideas.
"I'm not waiting for a script [by Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects)]. I'm going to do my homework. I'm going down to Fallon, Nevada, it's a whole different world now," he told Hitfix.
"These computer geeks -- these kids play war games in a trailer in Fallon, Nevada and if we ever went to war or were in the Middle East or the Far East or wherever it is, these guys can actually fly drones. They are unmanned aircraft. They operate them and then they party all night."He said that the idea of swapping fighter pilots for computer geeks came to him during a rock climbing trip to Las Vegas. He was sitting next to a young man who was sick from partying all night. When the director asked him what he does for a living, the man replied that he works with unmanned aircraft in the Air Force.
"They operate these drones like it's war games, but it's for real," said Scott.
"This world fascinated me, because it's so different from what it was originally. But, I don't want to do a remake. I don't want to do a reinvention. I want to do a new movie."
