  • 'Jungle Book' writer to pen 'Top Gun 2'
Writer Justin Marks, the man behind Disney’s upcoming live-action version of “The Jungle Book”, is in talks with the makers of “Top Gun 2” to write the screenplay of the sequel to the 1980s classic.
 
The film is to be made by Paramount and Skydance, reports hollywoodreporter.com. 
 
Actor Tom Cruise is slated to return as ace pilot Maverick in a story that aims to show the relevance of good old-fashioned pilots in today’s high-tech and drone-centric war environment.
 
The project lost some jet fuel when Tony Scott, the director of the 1986 original and who was to direct the sequel, committed suicide in 2012.
