Top Gun 2 Release Delayed To 2020

It's been more than 30 years since Tony Scott's action drama Top Gun landed on theater runways. And while fans are excited about the sequel, unfortunately, they'll have to wait another year. Deadline reports that the upcoming Top Gun film has been pushed out of its summer 2019 date.

According to Deadline, Top Gun: Maverick, the long-awaited sequel to 1986's Top Gun, has been moved from its July 12, 2019 release date to a new June 26, 2020 release date. The delay is being cited as allowing the production team to complete the elaborate flight sequences.

Top Gun: Maverick's cast features a litany of talent, including Glen Powell (The Dark Knight Rises), Jay Ellis (Insecure), Jennifer Connelly (Spider-Man: Homecoming), and Miles Teller (Whiplash). Additionally, Top Gun alumni Val Kilmer has been cast to reprise his role as Commander Tom "Iceman" Kazansky.

It's also been announced that Bashir Salahuddin (GLOW), Charles Parnell (A Million Little Pieces), Danny Ramirez (Assassination Nation), Ed Harris (Snowpiercer), Jon Hamm (Tag), Lewis Pullman (The Strangers: Prey at Night), and Monica Barbaro (The Good Cop) would all be joining the expanding roster.

This highly-anticipated sequel has been in development for years. Tony Scott was said to be looking to return to direct the sequel, but he tragically passed away in 2012. Thankfully, all other parties involved were still interested in making the film.

Legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed in January 2016 that he was in talks with Tom Cruise about a potential sequel to Top Gun. But it wasn't until May 2018 that we got confirmation from Cruise himself, who took to Twitter to share a teaser image announcing that a Top Gun sequel was in production. Joseph Kosinski--who's worked with Cruise on 2013's sci-fi film Obvilion and has revived another '80s property, 2010's Tron: Legacy--is directing Top Gun: Maverick.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
