Naman Ramachandran Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has revealed that he had to turn down a fighter pilot’s role in Tom Cruise hit “Top Gun: Maverick,” directed by Joseph Kosinski.In an interview with Vanity Fair, Hamilton, who is a friend of Cruise, says that he saw “Top Gun” as a child and fixated on being a fighter pilot. “So when I heard the second one was coming out, I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I have to ask him [Cruise],’ ” Hamilton told Vanity Fair. “I said, ‘I don’t care what role it is.
I’ll even sweep something, be a cleaner in the back.’ ” In the event, Cruise agreed and the role wasn’t that of a cleaner but a fighter pilot.However, the film’s schedule clashed with the finale of the Formula 1 season and Hamilton could not take up the role. He informed Cruise and Kosinski, describing the conversation as “the most upsetting call that I think I’ve ever had.” Hamilton will have another shot at the silver screen in the form of the as yet untitled Formula 1 film featuring Brad Pitt and to be directed by Kosinski, where he is one of the producers. In the project, which is at Apple, Pitt is playing a driver who comes out of retirement to compete alongside a rookie driver and the titans of the sport.
Hamilton arranged for Pitt to tour the factories in the U.K. where this year’s Formula 1 car for Mercedes was created. Hamilton has also served as a script consultant, telling Vanity Fair: “To hear the B.S.

‘Bullet Train’ Repeats No. 1, ‘Top Gun’ Returns to Second Place as Box Office Nearly Grinds to Halt
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterIs everyone on vacation?That would be one plausible explanation behind the great box office slowdown. Although three new movies opened nationwide, none were able to crack the top five on domestic charts and only two — A24’s satirical slasher “Bodies Bodies Bodies” and Lionsgate’s low-budget, vertigo-inducing thriller “Fall” — managed to infiltrate the top 10.It’s even more dire that Sony’s action-thriller “Bullet Train,” which claimed the top spot for the second weekend in a row with $13.1 million from 4,357 North American locations, was the sole film to bank at least $10 million in ticket sales.
