Paramount Home Entertainment has officially released a trifecta of Tom Cruise classics - Tony Scott's Top Gun, Tony Scott's Days of Thunder, and Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds - on 4K Ultra HD.
The releases were initially intented to serve as promotional tools as we build toward the theatrical release of Joseph Kosinski's Top Gun: Maverick, but unfortunately, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the long-awaited action sequel was pushed back to December 23.
The Top Gun release will include a brand-new featurette that explores the film’s legacy and enduring popularity through new interviews with Tom Cruise, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and members of the cast of Top Gun: Maverick, including John Hamm, Miles Teller, Glen Powell, and more. Fans can also enjoy a retrospective segment from 2016 looking back at 30 years of Top Gun. Additional previously released bonus content on the disc includes commentary by producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Tony Scott, co-screenwriter Jack Epps, Jr., and naval experts; Danger Zone: The Making of Top Gun; a look inside the real Top Gun; original theatrical promotional material; music videos, and more.
In addition to the standard cover, the original Top Gun will also receive a Best Buy-exclusive 4K Ultra HD Steelbook, featuring some cool new artwork. Days of Thunder will be released as part of a 30th Anniversary special edition while War of the Worlds will receive a special 15th Anniversary special edition.
