At the time, Cruise was busy
shooting 'Mission: Impossible.'.
And I basically had 30 minutes to pitch this film, which I didn’t realize when we were flying over. But when I got there,
I found that Tom really didn’t want
to make another ‘Top Gun.' , Joseph Kosinski, 'Top Gun: Maverick' director, via 'New York Post'.
It’s one of those moments as a director, you have one on every film, where you’re on the spot to make a case for why this movie should be made. I had 30 minutes to do it, Joseph Kosinski, 'Top Gun: Maverick' director, via 'New York Post'.
Afterwards, Cruise called the head of Paramount Pictures and said, "We're making another 'Top Gun.'".
Fans — and Paramount — have
Kosinski to thank for that
