"Top Gun" is a study carried out in Hollywood at about a certain time, an era echoed in the pages of Variety when the film saw the light of day in the middle of 1983 until its triumphal release by Paramount Pictures three years later.
Who are the producers of Top Gun?
The film originated when Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer were at the height of their power as trendy producers. Blockbuster films like 1983 Flashdance and 1984 Beverly hills cop are notable films before Top Gun by the producers. Top Gun is the movie the producers crafted with many writers, director Tony Scott and veteran producer Bill Badalato.
It has introduced Tom Cruise to a whole new level of fame and created a relatively strong legacy for Cruise, Bruckheimer, and Paramount to return to the top of the box office nearly 40 years later with the sequel to "Top Gun: Maverick."
When did the movie Top Gun begin?
In the August 3, 1983, edition of Daily Variety, the initial reference to "Top Gun" as a cinema feature film project came. Then, on December 7, 1984, Paramount Pictures offered Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer a Christmas present with an official go-ahead for what was known as "Top Guns," as the story was entitled in the original article in the 1983 magazine about the Miramar Naval Air Station.
It is not by chance that the good news arrived in Simpson and Bruckheimer while the star of the pair, Eddie Murphy, "Beverly Hills Cop," started its strong progression that same month. The producers had Tom Cruise in the spotlight and Tony Scott on 28 March 1985.
Is Top Gun based on a real story?
Top Gun is not a fictional work - not all of it. The film was, in fact, inspired by an article in California Magazine that described the daily life of the United States naval air station in San Diego, where the U.S. Naval fighter aircraft tactical training program, also known as the Top Gun, was located until 1996.
