Paramount is developing Top Gun 3 starring Tom Cruise. The movie follows the 2022 blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, which made nearly $1.5 billion worldwide.
Although news just broke about Tom Cruise’s new nonexclusive deal with Warner Bros., it seems that Top Gun will get another sequel at Paramount. Top Gun: Maverick cowriter Ehren Kruger is currently writing a draft.
According to Deadline, “The word is that the project would reunite Cruise with Top Gun: Maverick‘s Miles Teller and Glen Powell as well as producers Jerry Bruckheimer and David Ellison. Joe Kosinski will reportedly either direct or produce.”
Top Gun: Maverick is the highest-grossing movie in Cruise’s long career. The first Top Gun sequel won the Oscar for Best Sound at least year’s Academy Awards. Cruise is currently shooting Mission: Impossible 8 for Paramount.

Martin Scorsese publicly tried to coax Daniel Day-Lewis out of retirement at the National Board of Review awards gala. Scorsese, 81, directed Day-Lewis, 66, in The Age of Innocence and Gangs of New York.
As reported by Deadline, Scorsese turned to Day-Lewis — who introduced the Killers of the Flower Moon director at the gala — and said, “We did two films together and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Maybe there’s time for one more?”
“I was a teenager when I discovered Martin’s work,” said Day-Lewis, who announced his retirement in 2017. He continued by saying that Scorsese “illuminated the vast, beautiful landscape of what is possible in film. And he clarified for me what it is that one must ask of oneself to work in faith.”
The lovefest continued with Scorsese saying, “This honor, presented by Daniel, is an honor in itself.”

Oscar-nominated director Wes Anderson will reunite with Benicio del Toro and Bill Murray on the director’s next movie. Del Toro and Murray appeared in Anderson’s The French Dispatch together, but Murray’s on-screen relationship with Anderson stretches back all the way to 1998’s Rushmore.
Deadline reports, “Anderson wrote the [new] film with Roman Coppola, his regular collaborator going back to The Life Aquatic. Details as to the plot are under wraps. Anderson hinted at the project in a September 2023 interview with Deadline, noting that he and Coppola had just finished the script for a del Toro-led feature before the start of the writers’ strike. Further cast is also under wraps at this point, but given Anderson’s tendency to pursue huge ensembles, expect many more names to emerge in the coming weeks to months.”
One other confirmed cast member is Michael Cera, who has never starred in an Anderson movie before. Anderson’s most recent movie is 2023’s Asteroid City.
Vincent Gallo Accused by Three Women of Holding Inappropriate Auditions for ‘The Policeman’

Three actresses have accused The Brown Bunny writer-director-actor Vincent Gallo of holding wildly inappropriate auditions for The Policeman, Gallo’s movie about the Golden State Killer Joseph James DeAngelo.
Rolling Stone got hold of a formal complaint filed by a Portland-based actress about Gallo to the Screen Actors Guild. During the audition, the actress reported that Gallo allegedly said, “If I say to s– my d– or I will kill you, I want you, you the person, not you the character, not you the actor, but you, to truly believe you will die if you don’t do as I say. And just like you would in real life, if this were happening to you, I want you to do all of the actions necessary to do that. You won’t actually s– my d–, but you do not have the power, I have all the power. You have no control, I am in complete control.”
Two other actresses submitted complaints to SAG about how uncomfortable they felt about Gallo’s inappropriate and explicit comments. A spokesperson for SAG confirmed the investigation to Rolling Stone in a statement, saying, “We are aware of these complaints and are investigating. We extensively engaged with production regarding the complaints and while shooting has wrapped, we continue to monitor and investigate. We also reaffirm our commitment to ensuring a safe and respectful environment on set. Because our inquiry is ongoing, we cannot respond to specifics of the complaint.”
A spokesperson for Gertner and Pacific Media Productions told Rolling Stone, “The casting director told the actors prior to their callback meetings and auditions that a SAG-AFTRA intimacy coordinator was being hired for the picture and she would be involved with all scenes in which any [nakedness] or sexuality was to occur. The coordinator that was hired worked closely with the director, Vincent, and other cast, and the cast involved felt that the environment was positive and respectful.”
Gallo’s second feature film as a director — 2003’s The Brown Bunny — received harsh criticism for an unsimulated intimate scene featuring Gallo’s then-girlfriend Chloë Sevigny.
