Top Gun: Maverick’s official premiere at Cannes this week has provoked renewed interest in the Hollywood – military relationship. I recently helped put together (and briefly appear in) a segment by Newsy on Top Gun: Maverick, the original film, and the extent of the Pentagon’s power over the big screen.
I will be publishing my own coverage of Top Gun: Maverick over the coming week or two but I do want to thank Emily Sen, who pushed for this segment at Newsy and put in a lot of time talking with me and others (including Tricia Jenkins), as well as taking the subject seriously.
