95% - this is the rating of expectations of the film "Best Shooter 2", which will be released in the summer of 2020. This is a continuation of the picture of a first-class pilot who masterfully controls the helm. And if in the first part he was just a cadet, then in the sequel the viewer will see matured and matured Pete Mitchell, who is now teaching youth. Still, mass nostalgia that engulfed overseas cinema and returns to the big screens of the heroes of the past will return an extraordinary pilot, a lieutenant nicknamed Maverick.

Skeptics assure that the film will not be successful, because in 1986 it was watched only because of high-class stunts performed by fighters. Then the viewer was curious, and especially the boys enthusiastically reviewed the picture and dreamed of going to a flight school. But judging by the large number of downloads and online views, the first part of the “Best shooter” is watched and loved so far. Because it is also an exciting story, and the personal drama of the protagonist.

Plot

The idea of the “Best Shooter 2” scenario is very original. Pete Mitchell is no longer that young lieutenant-adventurer. Now he is an instructor who teaches youth. And his life would have gone on as usual, if it had not been for the experiment of the officials: the authorities decide to abolish the profession of pilots, because aircraft can be controlled by high technology. Maverick can not allow this, so he again sits at the helm to prove that a person is much better than a robot in terms of controlling aircraft.

Tom Cruise recalls that then, in 1986, the script and the entire project of the “Best shooter” seemed innovative to him, so he was shot with pleasure. This is natural: to play the role of a charming pilot with a white-toothed smile - who will refuse the chance to become even more famous and desirable among a female audience?

With no less pleasure, Cruz returned to the "Best shooter 2". For an already elderly actor (Cruise will turn 57 in 2019), this is a great chance to reaffirm himself and show the audience his good shape: both physical and acting. Although, he already did this in the new film Mission Impossible, released in 2018.

Filming

The success of the first installment of "The Best Shooter" was so overwhelming that everyone was sure about the imminent shooting of another film. But then Tom Cruise was busy in other projects. As a result, the project initiators decided to postpone the shooting indefinitely. And only in 2010, stage director Tony Scott announced his intention to shoot a sequel. Cruz supported him because they worked together on the first part. But in 2012, Tony Scott committed suicide, so the shooting was postponed again.

Jerry Bruckheimer (all parts of Pirates of the Caribbean), the producer of the first film, did not completely forget about the continuation of "The Best Shooter". In his interviews, he repeatedly emphasized that the project is listed on Paramount's studio list.It remains only to determine the budget and the cast, and the shooting will resume.

And finally, it happened. Actors recruited, budget planned. Filming of "Best Shooter 2" was completed at the end of 2018, and it was planned to release a film by the summer of 2019. But the creators of the picture decided to retake some episodes and work them out perfectly. Still, you need to combine modern technology with the combat experience and skills of experienced pilots, so this is taken for another year. Now the official release date is June 2020. There is no trailer yet.

The film "The Best Shooter 2" is in absentia dedicated to the memory of Tony Scott.

Film crew

The production staff includes Tom Cruise himself. Previously, he had the experience of a screenwriter, but now the actor also decided to have a hand in producing. He was supported by Jerry Bruckheimer and David Allison (Star Trek: Retribution, 2013). The script was written by Peter Craig (City of Thieves, 2010) and Justin Marx (Book of the Jungle, 2016).

But with the search for the director had to work hard. To this place, Tom Cruise himself proposed the candidacy of Christopher Macquarie, with whom they shot a number of blockbusters: "Edge of the Future" (2014), "Jack - the Vanquisher of the Giants" (2013). The studio was inclined towards Tony Scott's elder brother, Ridley Scott (Soldier Jane, 1997, Robin Hood, 2010), because He knows firsthand the films of the 80s and how to successfully reanimate them. There was another option - Sam Mendes (“007: Skyfall Coordinates”, 2012, “007: Spectrum”, 2015). But in the end, the director’s chair was taken by Joseph Kosinski (Oblivion, 2013, Tron: Legacy, 2010).

Cast

The company Tom Cruise again will be Val Kilmer ("Mr. Nobody, 2010," Between ", 2011), who played classmate Maverick and his sworn enemy, nicknamed Aysman. What will be the relationship of the characters in "Best Arrow 2", is still unknown, but it is possible that they will make peace. Or one will save the other from great trouble, as is usually the case.

The main female role was played by Jennifer Conelly (Noah, 2014, Spider-Man: Homecoming, 2017). According to rumors, it is she who will become Maverick's lover in the second part of “The Best Shooter”. Also on the list of actors are John Hamm, Miles Teller, Ed Harris and others.
