- Tom Cruise has been asked to dust off his aviator shades for a Top Gun sequel. A script outline has been written, but the sequel depends on Cruise, 46, saying yes. An insider said: "The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor -- and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot."
- Filmmaker Peter Berg, currently prepping a new film version of Frank Hubert's "Dune" for Paramount, says his version will be vastly different to David Lynch's poorly-received take. "What I never saw in Lynch's film was a really strong adventure story. There's a much more muscular time to be had there", The director says.
- Variety says that Fox Atomic has acquired Accidentes, a pitch that Sacha Baron Cohen will produce with an eye toward starring in it as an ambulance-chasing personal injury lawyer. The comedy will be written by Peter Baynham, who with Baron Cohen and others shared an Oscar nomination for scripting the 20th Century Fox comedy Borat.
- Michael Vartan and David Cross will play bitter tire store rivals in the comedy Demoted for Parallel Media's new genre arm Parallel Zide.
- Paramount Studio is co-publishing casual games based on three pics from its library for release later this year. The odd choices? "Clueless," "Mean Girls" and "Pretty in Pink".

Sorry Cruise, even another Top Gun can't rescue your career.
Can you say "toast"?
