Has One More Record to Break
It’s coming for the big boat movie. Photo: Scott Garfield/Paramount Pictures Tom Cruise didn’t want to make Top Gun 2. He’d long resisted Hollywood’s entreaties to reboot, remake, or “reinvent” the 1986 original . But after being persuasively pitched by director Joseph Kosinski in 2017 — and personally calling Paramount to notify the studio it would be distributing the movie — the superstar threw himself into the process as a performer and producer, pulling multiple Gs (while operating his own cameras in the cockpit of an F-18) to reprise his role as brash flying ace Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in what is arguably the foundational film of his A-list career. “Tom described it as hitting a bullet with a bullet,” Kosinski said after the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick at CinemaCon in April. “We knew the bar was high.” It’s fair to say that, at this point, the sequel — with a release pushed back five times between 2019 and 2022 — has more than achieved liftoff.

EXCLUSIVE: Larry Elder Says U.S. Media Is Ignoring His Film On Black Conservatives | The Daily Wire
Larry Elder often lets filmmakers interview him at his radio studio, but the syndicated talker rarely sees the results. Well-intentioned filmmakers get distracted or come up short on the funding front, Elder explains. Director Justin Malone, eager to capture what it’s like to be a black conservative in America, was different. Malone shared his footage with the best-selling author and talk show host. “It was beautifully shot in black and white. I liked the angles,” Elder recalls. So he asked Malone how far along he was on the project. If this were a baseball game, Malone explained, he’d be in the top half of the first inning. That didn’t scare Elder. He offered to help raise funds for the documentary. Two years later, “Uncle Tom” is available for rental at UncleTom.com and has made back its modest budget and then some, says Elder, who co-wrote and produced the film. “Uncle Tom” showcases the abuse black conservatives like Elder receive from the Left, something the L.A. … [Read more...] about EXCLUSIVE: Larry Elder Says U.S. Media Is Ignoring His Film On Black Conservatives | The Daily Wire
