In today’s example of “Umm, sure, we didn’t think we needed this, but why not?!” we got another instance of ’80s nostalgia–and really the continued power of movie stardom–giving us a sequel. Tom Cruise–surely you know him–announced on an Australian morning show that, yes, indeed, there will be a Top Gun 2, filming in the next year. Take a look!

Top Gun is the 1986 fighter pilot movie that made Cruise a huge megastar, and also gave the world a very successful soundtrack album containing tracks like Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” and Berlin’s “Take My Breath Away.” What exactly Maverick could be up to 30+ years after his initial Goose-killing adventure is anyone’s guess, but we’re pretty sure he could do a shot-for-shot redux of the volleyball scene and it would still be awesome.
