Maverick and the Iceman cometh!

I heard through the greastness that is I Am Rogue when they were at this years Comic Con in San Diego that there were rumours going around thanks to the likes of Val Kilmer letting slip in an interview with I Am Rogue that he and Tom Cruise were wanted to come back to their legendary roles as Maverick and Iceman in a new rebooted version of Top Gun.

However, I do have to admit that a couple of weeks after I heard this cool piece of news..-.well I after I'd heard about this I did get 'Highway to the Danger Zone' stuck in my head for the whole day which was annoying-, that Tom Cruise had said no and that now his role is just merely a cameo role, but this is only the beginning of this good piece of news.

Through Legend3D are converting Top Gun to 3D for Paramount Studios and as of Monday at the International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam Legend3D showcased a four minute aerial pursuit with 'Highway To The Danger Zone' in the background in 3D.

This brand spanking new 3D version of this now legendary film has been penciled in for early 2012.

CEO of Legend3D Rob Hummel said about this as he understands it:

 '...they (Paramount Studios) are planning to release it in 3D in early 2012, though I know they want to get Tony Scott's approval before they go forward...'

Also I just thought that why this oldy but a kind of guilty pleasure is rearing its head and being turned into a shiny new 3D film for 2012...and this is very obvious when you have the knowledge that Legend3D were behind the conversion of many other films to 3D that have had big build ups such as:

• Conan the Barbarian 
• The Smurfs
• Priest
• Pirates of the Caribbean:On Stranger Tides
• Alice in Wonderland (although this film may have obviously got a big hype about it as of Johnny Depp being attached to it as well as Tim Burton directing this film)
• Shrek 1-3

 And coupled with this and the fact that some of the movies that had reared their heads onto the 21st Century cinema screen have had very good feedback from cinema going audiences and this has been transferred into as Les Grossman would say '...lots and lots of money...' (minus the G5!)
