Paramount's Adam Goodman offers updates on Transformers 4, Top Gun 2, and Noah
When asked when the studio was planning to make another Mission: Impossible movie, the executive said they would make Top Gun 2 with Tom Cruise first.
"We'll likely make a Top Gun sequel with Tom Cruise first. Jerry Bruckheimer would produce, with Tony Scott returning to direct. All parties are moving ahead. We've hired Peter Craig to write the script."
He also revealed that they are taking Transformers 4 in a new direction without Shia LaBeouf, although they have brought back screenwriter Ehren Kruger.
The story is going in a different direction now. Ehren Kruger [who wrote the past two Transformers movies] is writing it for us, and we're starting to engage, but I can't say anything more."
Director Darren Aronofsky's biblical epic Noah is finally moving forward, with Russell Crowe starring as the title character. We reported last week that Jennifer Connelly and Saoirse Ronan are being considered for supporting characters, and now they have been confirmed.
"It will be a big, robust production and will have tremendous scale. It's the perfect combination of casting [Russell Crowe, Saoirse Ronan and Jennifer Connelly] and a remarkable adventure. This isn't what you think of when you think of Darren, but it will be very true to him as a filmmaker. It will be PG-13 and will likely cost around $125 million."
The executive also revealed they are still planning on shooting the Untitled Jack Ryan Project after Chris Pine wraps on Star Trek 2, with a 2013 release date being considered.

i would have been pleased if they fought on the moon , in part3. You know, right where they showed the bots coming out of the sand, right b4 they came to earth, , there could have been a nice lil 15-20mins battle b4 they brought the fight to earth.

@jasonkat On another planet with the Autobots and Decepticons on another planet, sounds like it would be a cool idea for a Transformers movie reboot.

True, Transformers 1 was great, part2, should have been an all out blast w nothing but bots coming to earth or like you said.. "more screen time", less of a love story, no funny moments, i mean the timming has to b right. but yea a good bot movie would be sweet, in cgi, weither its on earth, or another planet. im down with either.

@jasonkat I hope that the Transformers reboot will have more Autobots and Decepticon screen time, if there will still be actors and actresses playing roles in it. But, if the reboot will just be the Autobots and Decepticons and no human actors and actresses involved, i would even be fine with that. In my opinion the people in the Transformers movies, take away too much screen time from the Autobots and Decepticons.

I love you Paramount, I really do, but Transformers 4 is where I draw the line. How can you go in a "new direction" if you bring on the guy that wrote the sh*ttiest one in the series?

@moviewiz001 Same here. But did you expect them to stop after the third film made a billion dollars? Nowadays if a movie keeps making money, they'll continuously crank out sequels (Pirates, Fast and Furious, Saw, Paranormal Activity) until the franchise dies off at the box office.

I'll see them eventually but a sequel to Top Gun that's not a good sign. Next thing we know there might be a sequel to Legend

@jimthar You're probably right. I've beaten the "sequels twenty years later is a bad idea" drum for a few years now, and still see no reason to make me change my mind.
