It also has no shortage of nods to the 1986 Tony Scott classic: a volleyball scene on the beach, singing in a bar, Maverick’s jacket, Maverick’s motorbike, Maverick’s cheesy grin.

According to IMDB, Val Kilmer’s back as Iceman, and the film also stars Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller and Jon Hamm.

No word on whether Kelly McGillis or Meg Ryan or Michael Ironside or Tom Skerritt will be joining them.

The movie is due for release next year.

We can’t wait.
