Sound experts at Oscar-winning Twickenham Film Studios have been celebrating their role in the new Tom Cruise blockbuster 'Top Gun Maverick'.

The film features an all-star cast led by Tom Cruise, who returns as Captain Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, in a thrill and minute film that has won rave reviews.

This all-star cast extends to the world-renowned technical experts behind the production, who include a team based at Twickenham Film Studios.

The final Sound Mix for Top Gun: Maverick was carried out in Theatre 1 at Twickenham Film Studios (TFS) by Chris Burdon and Mark Taylor with Harry Jones, Will Miller and Tom Melling as Mix Techs.

Led by Oscar-nominated Sound Supervisor, James Mather, the Soundbyte Studios Editorial team used their base at the TFS creative campus to create a dynamic and epic Mix for the long-awaited summer blockbuster.

Paramount Pictures has originally scheduled to release the film in July 2019. However, the date was moved several times to allow the re-filming of some flight sequences, but also due to the COVID-19 pandemic and tight schedules.

The film went on general release this week following a UK premiere at the 72nd Royal Film Performance attended by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

The film tells the story of Pete Mitchell, who, after 30 years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators remains a pioneering and brave test pilot dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him.

He finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a special mission and encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), the son of Maverick's late friend.

Facing an uncertain future and confronting ghosts of the past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.
