Top Gun 2 Scrapped

Tony Scott’s tragic suicide in late August means the collapse of Top Gun 2 according to
The New York Times & The Playlist,


After years in development, things were moving forward, and was looking to be made next year with some early location scouting done in the weeks before Scott's death. Now though, it has "fallen apart". With Scott no longer around, star Tom Cruise is not likely to move forward without him.

The studio hired Peter Craig (The Town) to pen the script

Top Gun 3D Legend 3D's conversion of the original, which Scott guided and endorsed enthusiastically before his death, has been completed and a February 2013 release is being eyed.

And a one-week run exclusively on IMAX  screens is also being considered, but the marketing will be tricky and how to do it tastefully. There's money to be had, Paramount Pictures IMAX re-release of Steven Spielberg's 1981 adventure classic "Raiders of the Lost Ark took in $3 million back in September.
