I’m convinced that soon there will be more recycled releases, remakes, sequels, and spin-offs than actual new films in theaters. Just added to the list of films coming back for a second helping at the box office is the dramatic action movie Top Gun starring Tom Cruise, Meg Ryan, and Val Kilmer. Paramount’s re-releasing Top Gun in IMAX theatres in 3D on February 8, 2013.
The special re-release will last for just six days and will only be playing in select IMAX theatres.
According to Paramount, Top Gun has been “re-mastered for the big screen from high-resolution original negative scans and painstakingly converted to 3D by Legend3D under the supervision of the film’s director, Tony Scott.”
Following its IMAX 3D release, Top Gun will be released on Blu-ray in 3D and 2D. The Blu-ray 2D will include the re-mastered film in high definition and a six-part Making Of documentary, a behind-the-scenes featurette, interviews with Tom Cruise, commentary by producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Tony Scott, and co-screenwriter Jack Epps, Jr.
