I actually like Teller...I just don't think he'd be a good fit for that role. I've been wrong before though *cough* Heath ledger *cough*.

It's a fake trailer (I think) but damn it's still good.

So two veterans that I know, one a former Marine and one a former Sailor, told me that Tom Cruise was attacked on an aircraft carrier while filming Top Gun. These two gentlemen do no know each other. The Marine told me he knows someone personally that was there when the incident happened.

Apparently, Tom Cruise was being an ass while on the boat and one of the crew attacked him with the intention of throwing him overboard from the flight deck. An officer had to shoot the enlisted guy to get him to stop attacking Tom Cruise. I googled to see if this was true and didn't find anything on it.

Is this an 'urban myth' type thing or is it true?


Well, anyone know?

I would have to think a shooting in that circumstance would be widely reported

Ok need a fact check.. debate we were having yesterday at work

Goose's son is 4 year old in Top Gun.. 1986.

Assuming the movie takes place in 2018.. that is 32 year difference.. that mean .. Goose's son is at least 36 years of age.

Now, assuming he commission at 22 years of age.. at this point he served for 14 years.. so he is an O4 - .. Lt Commander looking at his Commander board.

Does this sound right?

That sounds utterly ridiculous. Along the lines of: they forgot to account for the weight of the books.

It'd be on the front page of every newspaper in the English-speaking world, even though the sailor denies the incident.

Damn. Was really hoping for Powell. Teller is probably the best actor of the bunch, but he just looks nothing like Anthony Edwards or Meg Ryan...

That sucks... Glen Powell needs a breakout role. And this would've been perfect.

Well crap. Teller is a fine actor, I just personally don't like his face. Hype level reduced.

He's a great choice. Perfect level of cockiness for a fighter pilot.

No, they are each actuaries for large national insurance companies. Ballsy move by the studio Given this is a huge investment movie.

Thanks man. Actuaries sound promising. Just figured they would go with some one at least half way well known. I now recognize the guy that played Beast, but don't know what divergent or war dogs is.

Miles Teller was also in Whiplash which I highly recommend. Fantastic movie. Not sure I love him for this part but I'll still give it a shot.

I think Powell would have been a good edition if they wanted the same personality as Goose. But if they want a kid that's angry at the world 'cause his dad died so young, Teller is probably better.

Kosinski is basically bringing over his entire Only the Brave ensemble at this point, between Teller and Connelley now, only I'm much more in favor of this addition. Also, I'm pretty sure she's playing Penny Benjamin, Maverick's age-appropriate love interest (mentioned briefly in the beginning of the first movie)...
