Bruckheimer admitted that it was Tony Scott, the film's original director, who came up with the storyline shortly before his death in 2012.
"We've been trying to get that movie made for 30 years, and I think we're getting closer and closer," said Bruckheimer.
"Don [Simpson] and I tried to develop something, we didn't succeed," he told The Huffington Post .
"[Tom] Cruise took over, and he tried to develop something, and he didn't succeed. Now we're back at it."
He added: "The concept is, basically, are the pilots obsolete because of drones?
"Cruise is going to show them that they're not obsolete. They're here to stay.
"It's just getting to the starting place. Fortunately for Tom, he's very busy, so you have to find a slot he can fit into and get a budget that Paramount feels they can make the picture."
The original Top Gun film was released in 1986 and followed Cruise in the role of a rebel fighter jet pilot.
