Justin Marks In Negotiations to Scribe Top Gun 2

Writer Justin Marks (The Jungle Book) is currently in negotiations to work on the upcoming "Top Gun 2" film.

This will be the second time that Marks has worked with producer Jerry Bruckheimer; the pair worked together on "War Dogs", a project Bruckheimer was developing with Disney.

Tom Cruise will be reprising his role in the sequel, which will center around the importance of "old fashioned pilots" in today's high technology world.
