The classic film Top Gun currently has a sequel in development, but the project has slowed significantly following the tragic death of director Tony Scott. In the meantime, Paramount Pictures announced today that Scott’s original 1986 film, Top Gun, will be re-released exclusively in select IMAX 3D theaters.
Under the supervision of the late Tony Scott, Top Gun was re-mastered in 3D post-conversion for the big screen from high-resolution original negative scans. In result, the film’s quality exhibits modern day clarity, allowing viewers to explore every detail of the action.
Top Gun is a 1986 hit action drama film directed by Tony Scott, and produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, in association with the Paramount Pictures company.
