Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says Top Gun 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 6 are neck-and-neck when it comes to which sequel will enter production first... but one film is just a touch farther along than the other.

"I think it's a horse race between the two of them, so we'll see," Bruckheimer told Entertainment Tonight. "Right now, Top Gun is a hair ahead, but that's it. We're expecting a script shortly."
