One of the most successful Hollywood films of the 1980s is Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis starrer "Top Gun," which was released in 1986. And, now, nearly three decades later, there are reports about this classic film's sequel, "Top Gun 2"

The Hollywood Reporter (THR) has reported that Justin Marks may work on the sequel of "Top Gun" and he is currently negotiating a deal. Marks has written the new movie version of Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book," which Disney is producing. Paramount and Skydance are set to produce "Top Gun 2."

Meanwhile, Academy award winner Cruise, 52, is reportedly returning to reprise the role of LT Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, the role that made him the heartthrob of millions of girls throughout the world. According to THR, the new film's story is seeking to show "the relevance of good old fashioned pilots in today's high-tech, drone-centric war environment."

This is not the first time that there have been reports about "Top Gun" sequel. THR reports that Peter Craig wrote a draft for the sequel, a couple of years ago, but apparently the suicide of Tony Scott, the director of the original movie, in 2012, put that project in the cold storage.

Earlier this year in March, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said to HuffPost Live that "Top Gun 2" is happening. Bruckheimer and Don Simpson produced the original "Top Gun." "We've been trying to get that movie made for 30 years, and I think we're getting closer and closer," Bruckheimer said to Ricky Camilleri. "Don and I tried to develop something, we didn't succeed. Cruise took over, and he tried to develop something, and he didn't succeed. Now we're back at it."

In the interview, Bruckheimer also mentioned that Scott was able to "crack the story" before his death. Speaking about the concept of the sequel, he said, "The concept is, basically, are the pilots obsolete because of drones. Cruise is going to show them that they're not obsolete. They're here to stay."

According to THR, Marks and Bruckheimer have worked together on another project. Mark was roped in to write "War Dogs," a project that Bruckheimer was developing for Disney.

Jerry Bruckheimer switched to Paramount this year. He previously had a studio deal with Disney.
