American action-drama film ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ is going to screen at all four branches of Star Cineplex from today. Tom Cruise is playing the lead role in the film.
The special screening of the film held at Mohakhali branch of Star Cineplex with all the journalists and media personalities on Thursday. The sequel to the 1986 film ‘Top Gun’, it was directed by Joseph Kosinski and written by Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and Christopher McQuarrie, from a story by Peter Craig and Justin Marks.
Set 36 years since the events of its predecessor, the film follows Maverick, who has dodged promotions that would ground him. His career ends up taking him back to the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program (also known as “Top Gun”), where he has to confront his past as he is charged with training a new squadron of fighter pilots. Cruise designed a unique bootcamp for the actors, going through three months of training – underwater evacuation, aerial aviation and the preliminary training to build spatial awareness inside the aircraft, and flights for the film.
It was originally scheduled to be released in July 2019, but was delayed by nearly a year to June of 2020. Then coronavirus hit, and Top Gun: Maverick was pushed back to 23 December 2020. That release date became July 2021, then November, but eventually the film is set to release worldwide today.
The film stars Tom Cruise as Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a test pilot, alongside Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Ed Harris, Monica Barbaro, and Val Kilmer.
