'Top Gun' sequel films aboard US aircraft carrier

The sequel to the 1986 Hollywood blockbuster "Top Gun" is filming aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.

A 15-member crew from Paramount Pictures and Bruckheimer Films went aboard the Lincoln.

The Navy declined to provide details about the exact role the service will play in supporting production but one official told to CNN that US Naval aviators will be flying in the movie.

Paramount Pictures will reimburse the Navy for any costs associated with flying sequences that do not meet training objectives.

The hugely anticipated sequel began filming on May 31, according to an Instagram post from Tom Cruise. The image features him wearing a flight suit near a fighter jet while holding the same helmet he wore in the original film. It features a line from the original movie: 'Feel the need.'

'Stylistically it'll be the same,' Cruise said in an interview with Access Hollywood in 2017.

'We'll have big, fast machines...it's going to be a competition film like the first one and it's going to be in the same vein, the same tone as the first one, but a progression for Maverick.'
