‘Top Gun: Maverick’, which is a sequel to the 1986 film Top Gun, had its world premiere in Las Vegas on 28 April 2022.
It is the highest-grossing film of 2022 and in Tom Cruise’s career. The film was also ranked 11th on the list of highest-grossing films in cinema history.
Famous Hollywood actor Tom Cruise, 60, recorded a video address to his fans during the filming of the new Mission Impossible movie. In the video, he jumped out of a plane and delivered a heartfelt message to the audience, thanking fans for the colossal success of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ – all while in free fall.
The clip begins in the cockpit of the plane. Cruise reveals that he is on the set of another Mission Impossible film series. He is interrupted by the film’s director, Christopher McQuarrie, who is asking him to hurry up with the shooting of the next scene.
Cruise then jumps out of the plane and continues the speech as he free-flies:
“Hey everyone, here we are over stunning South Africa, where we’re filming Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning parts one and two. And I didn’t want the year to end without thanking all of you for coming to the theaters and thank you for supporting ‘Top Gun: Maverick’… thank you for allowing us to entertain you – it truly is the honor of a lifetime. I’m running out of altitude, so I have to get back to work – we have to get this shot – you have a very safe and happy holiday, we’ll see you at the movies!”
After becoming the producer of the very first Mission Impossible movie, Tom Cruise insisted on doing all the dangerous stunts himself, and putting himself to test in every film since.
Thank you Tom for making a movie that’s just a movie for a change. So refreshing.
No cringey woke dialogue, no insufferable Mary-Sue rolling her eyes every ten seconds, no heavy handed lectures on climate change or promotion of THE MESSAGE ✊🏾🏳️🌈 🦠 💉 🇺🇦
Just a movie trying to be a movie, not “art”, not a political platform, not a “microcosm” of anything.
I hope douchy James Cameron is taking note.
