Tom Cruise is preparing for take-off - after he was reportedly approached to star in a sequel to 1986 hit movie Top Gun.

The actor has been asked to reprise his role as cocky fighter-pilot Maverick, 22 years after the first film.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor - and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot."

Oh, man, PLEASE let Katie Holmes be cast as the cocky new female pilot. PLEASE. If it's going to be cheesy and stupid and worthless and star Tom Cruise, then they might as well go for broke.

But will they also bring back Iceman to once again challenge Maverick's repressed homosexuality flying skills?

Dude, those two leaked homoerotic tension all over the movie theater. Even as a sheltered, innocent 13-year-old, I sensed it.

Man, maybe they might actually have the two of them get together this time. I'd watch that.

I will only watch this if they cast Katie as the cocky girl.

[secretbutterfly.livejournal.com]

Haha that would be AWESOME.

But if they did cast her, then when time came for the inevitable romantic tensions and teacher-student taboo relationship, they might be required to, oh I don't know, SHOW ROMANTIC CHEMISTRY AND COMPATIBILITY.

Which implodes the film , right there.

Oh wait, I say that like it's a bad thing...

Nevermind! :-)

Well, that's just silly. He never had to show romantic chemistry when he played opposite Nicole Kidman. ;P

Haha, and I JUST saw Top Gun for the first time last night. Man, here's hoping they don't have him walk around in his undies anymore.

Sorry to contact you through comments, but I just wanted to ask a quick question.

One of my friends is a member of the press who is going to be at Comic Con. He has an interview with the SPN writers, and one of the questions I'm giving him uses data from your 'Bitchwatch' posts. I wanted to verify that it would be alright with you. Your data gathering skills far surpass mine *g* But I didn't want to use without your permission.

If you want to read the phrasing of the question or anything else, I'm at blackregalia at darkless dot net.

Thank you so much, and again, sorry to bother.

Oh, sure. That's not a problem at all. I'd love to hear what the writers have to say about the results of Bitchwatch. :)
