That was answered recently with Kosinski having booked locked in \u201cMiami Vice \u201985\u201d to film as his next feature.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, a third film is now an \u201copen directing assignment\u201d and so Cruise and producer Jerry Bruckheimer are reportedly seeking a filmmaker who can gel with their vision.<\/p>\n<p>Those names appear to be the first candidates on that list \u2013 all talent that can direct a major studio project but also serve under strict creative oversight. Notably missing are some of Cruise\u2019s recent collaborators like Christopher McQuarrie and Doug Liman.<\/p>\n<p>McQuarrie is still believed to have contributed to Kruger\u2019s script.  Cruise also has his Liman-directed undersea film \u201cDeeper\u201d stalled in development and its possible that could become a bargining chip in order to commit to a third \u201cTop Gun\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Previous article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/more-villains-set-for-daredevil-born-again-s3\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More Villains Set For \u201cDaredevil: Born Again\u201d S3<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paramount Pictures Jon M.
