Weirdly enough, I’ve heard of this before. My senior thesis teacher at USC was Jack Epps, Jr., writer of the first Top Gun. We never talked about a sequel, but I read somewhere that he and his late partner, Jim Cash, and the studio had planned to do a sequel with this plot a long time ago, like right after the first one… or maybe I’m remembering it all wrong.
Regardless, Jack Epps is one of the coolest people I’ve ever met. If they don’t at least consult him for this, I won’t see it.
HEY, WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM, KAZANSKI?
