Tom Cruise's Top Gun - A Two Year Process

"It's tricky that we were under pressure to make a slam dunk 10 out of 10 movie which obviously everyone watching the film wanted it to be but was expecting it to be a cash in," he says. "We all felt that weight of expectation from the audience who wanted to love it but were just fearful of the fact that it would be a let down" The two year process for me at least for some of it was three years in total because they spent months developing the camera systems before we rolled cameras in the air.
