During commercials and broadcasts Top Shooter: MaverickTom Cruise commented that he did not think about the possibility of creating a sequel about the best weapon (1986) until available technology facilitated the cinematic experience. However, the actor was initially unsure about another film. Director announced this movie, Joseph Kosinskiwhen he came up with this idea.
There are almost forty years of difference between the two films (36 to be exact). During this time, not only the natural growth of the actor and director, who saw the best weapon When I was 12 years old. The film and entertainment industry is also undergoing a wide variety of changes. This is an important fact when you consider that the second film tried to retain many aspects of the first.
One of the most famous was work with computer graphics. At a time when many things are decided by green screens, Top Shooter: Maverick he tried to be true to that factor, key to the first film, without leaving aside some of the current technical resources. The result, in terms of box office receipts, is positive. It has a lot to do with it Tom Cruise as well as Joseph Kosinski’s guidance during the presentation of the project to him and faced with the actor’s initial rejection.
Rear camera decisions Tom Cruise to return to Top Shooter: Maverick
While Tom Cruise was in Paris filming the next part Mission impossible, Joseph Kosinski traveled to France to meet him. I had the script on hand, and I knew that there would be a meeting with the actor. Perhaps what was unclear is the duration: only 30 minutes to convince him of your new offerThat she wanted him to be a part of her.
Joseph Kosinski felt that this was one of those defining moments where his demeanor, his presentation and attitude to the star would be key to Tom Cruise getting on the ship (airplane); it’s like saying that in order for Tom Cruise to approve the project, it would be possible to implement it. Without him there would be no choice. But the actor was not at all interested in this proposal.
Faced with this initial rejection, Joseph Kosinski drew on his previous experience with the actor. I knew that he likes people with character who get excited when they talk about movies. Based on this, he began to explain the story of the character played by Miles TellerBradley Bradshaw. His best friend’s son wanted to be a pilot and Pete “Maverick” Michelle she distanced herself from him for two reasons. When the relationship broke down between the two, returning to Top Gun meant the opportunity to rebuild that bond.
When Tom Cruise finished listening to Joseph Kosinski’s speech, he picked up the phone, called Paramount Pictures and said, “we do something else the best weapon“. At that moment, Kosinski realized the real power such actors have in the industry. This became known in an interview with Polygon.
