'Top Gun' To Be Converted To 3D, Tom Cruise Classic To Be Revamped In 3D

It's good news for those who have the need for speed: The 1986 hit, "Top Gun" will be converted to 3D and rereleased in theaters.

A four-minute clip of the updated film - the 'Danger Zone' aerial scene - premiered at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam on Monday.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Top Gun" is slotted for 3D release in early 2012, pending Tony Scott's approval.

The film is being converted by Legend3D. CEO Rob Hummel believes the flying flick is perfectly suited to the medium.

"We think there is great potential for catalog titles in 3D, but studios have had trouble justifying the expense, I think "Top Gun" lends itself to 3D due to the aerial flight," he said.

Will it still be unintentionally gay? Heck, maybe it was intentional.

I am so glad I haven't stepped foot in a theater since "Die Another Day" in 2002. This mindless crap that Hollywood puts out doesn't deserve my money.

I gladly watch movies when they come on cable, but I will never fill the coffers of "actors" such as Cruise, Aniston, Lopez, Roberts, Barrymore, or the melded mesh known as Gall-Apa-whatever.

Tom Cruise is right up there with Mel Gibson in the list of people whose movies I refuse to watch, even on TV.

Tom Cruise has made a few great movies. Mel Gibson only has one with "MadMax".

...And while we are on the subject of Top Gun... did anyone else think it was creepy that Tom Cruise sang "You Lost That Loving Feeling" to Katie Holmes during their wedding because it was a fantasy she had when she was EIGHT?!?! I creeped myself out just typing that. :(

You do know she wasn't EIGHT when he sang it to her and age really doesnt mean what it used to. People are staying younger far longer.

This was my all time favorite movie as a teen... then once while on a date a guy pointed out all the h0m0 erotic stuff in it.... and I was never able to see that volley ball scene the same way again. Still love & mourn Goose, though. :"(

How does one say NO in 3D?

3D is a bore and adds absolutely nothing to the experience.

It hardly matters. It's hardly a classic film. This film was a bit of a joke though wasn't it? The film makers weren't in on it though :)

The movie sucked the first time around, no reason why it won't this time.

Makers will probably flood the movie market with remakes of 3D movies; I have to believe there are no gifted screenwriters anymore in Hollywood.
