What is the significance of these speculations? Again, Beverly Hills Cop and Top Gun still would have happened, but there would have been other safer films before them, and at least one film that materialized to meet very particular studio expectations. I think that it is very possible that studio execs would have influenced Simpson and Bruckheimer's future decisions and ultimately forced them to explore different projects. ( Thief of Hearts was the first of five films the duo's production company was contracted to deliver to the major studio). Now, it is very possible that around the same time Days of Thunder and Bad Boys were released Simpson and Bruckheimer would have been involved with smaller films, but the latter would have ensured that the genre identity of these fictional films would have remained awfully similar.īut a part of me is also willing to speculate that the arrival of another similar but slightly less convincing film after Thief of Hearts could have produced some pretty unexpected ripple effects that would have seriously complicated the new business arrangement between Simpson, Bruckheimer and Paramount.
Simpson almost never disagreed with Bruckheimer and the two had a very strong bond, so it is fair to speculate that he would have been right there with him as well. Bruckheimer in particular had a very specific vision of what a good film was supposed to look like which remained pretty consistent over the years, so for him the road forward should have remained the same. Is it possible that the resumes of Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer might have looked drastically different had they produced one more film like Thief of Hearts? This is a very interesting question, so let's do a bit of speculating.Ī part of me is convinced that Beverly Hills Cop and Top Gun were meant to happen, so even if Simpson and Bruckheimer had become involved with another film like Thief of Hearts the progression of their careers would not have changed much.
