“: Maverick” has yet to be widely distributed, and it promises to be one of the biggest hits this summer. Reviewers praise the production, which got a five-minute standing ovation in Cannes, and sales specialists predict that the film could earn up to $ 100 million in theaters on its premiere weekend. If that happens, it will be a personal record for Tom Cruise, who went with great commitment to the sequel of the picture, which gave his career an unprecedented momentum.
Tom Cruise pushed the bolt of the cast of “Top Gun”
Cruise carefully prepares for her films and avoids the help of stuntmen at all costs. When he was shooting Fallout, he broke his ankle while shooting the rooftop to rooftop jump scene. With his leg broken, he finished the shot that ended up in the film. Let’s emphasize that only for the upcoming “Mission: Impossible 7” he has practiced 13,000 jumps on a motorcycle and jumped about 500 times with a parachute. It is true that in the first part of “Top Gun” from 1986 he does not pilot fighters, but in the second part things are different.
He got so interested in aviation during the shooting of the first “Top Gun” that he finally got his pilot’s license in 1994. He also has the power to control helicopters, which he used in the implementation of “Mission: Impossible”. And when, after more than 30 years, he decided to return to “Top Gun”, he decided that he did not want an excess of special effects in the new film. He wanted to show viewers what the experience of military fighter pilots really looks like. Therefore, he insisted that not only his scenes in the fighter should be filmed during the actual flight. Other actors playing pilots were also supposed to shoot in flying planes.
Before filming on Top Gun: Maverick even began, Cruise personally designed the entire training program for the rest of the cast. For three months, the actors trained in the ability to initially build spatial awareness in an airplane, and also practiced things such as underwater evacuation. First, they flew Cessna 172 Skyhawk planes, then switched to Extra 300 to finish training in the L-39 Albatross model, which has the highest speed in the air and is adapted to air maneuvers. These machines were used during the filming.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer emphasized in one of the following: “The actors also had to learn how to use the cameras, because when they were in the air, they basically directed themselves.” That is why they took part in editing, cinematography and film lighting classes.
Playing one of the pilots Glen Powell in an interview with “stated:
It was so crazy I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was a very nice idea, but I didn’t believe it could really work.
The director, Joseph Kosinski, admitted that the whole process was laborious, tedious and extremely demanding, but in his opinion “the pictures speak for themselves”. The team worked for 15 months on how to install cameras in fighter cockpits. Interestingly, the director of the first part of “Top Gun” also wanted to shoot with the cast in the air, but back then it was actually impossible: the actors vomited every time they were taken on test flights. Powell admitted that he had thrown up too. But he stressed that this did not happen on the plane.
