[Warning: This story contains spoilers for Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>.] <\/strong><\/p>\n Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> aerial coordinator Kevin LaRosa let out such a loud yell when he got the phone call offering him the legacy sequel, he scared his family.<\/p>\n Originally hired to be the film’s camera pilot, the veteran aerial cinematographer quickly impressed the producers, who in turn promoted him to the coordinator role, which included leading briefs before footage flights.<\/p>\n Having worked on several Marvel films in assorted aerial production roles, LaRosa is no stranger to big-budget tentpoles. And yet, the Top Gun: Maverick <\/em>experience was somehow more magnificent than any of those epics. Why? Two words: Tom Cruise.<\/p>\n In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, LaRosa talked about what went into the intense training for the cast and explained why it was vital. LaRosa also shared his favorite Cruise memory of him and made clear why there was zero chance Top Gun: Maverick <\/em>would land anywhere but movie theaters.<\/p>\n How did you become involved with the film?<\/strong><\/p>\n I got a phone call from the executive producer saying, \u201cWe’re finally doing this thing. And you are one of the best camera jet pilots in the world. And we want you to do camera jet flying on Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>. ” We had a nice little talk and, after I hung up the phone, I’m pretty sure I yelled at the top of my lungs in the backyard with joy. It definitely startled my family. My role evolved. I started as the camera jet pilot and as the producers saw my experience, they expanded on my role, and I became the aerial coordinator for the entire movie.<\/p>\n
