We Say Goodbye To Director/Producer Tony Scott

We have very sad news to report. Legendary film director & producer Tony Scott, brother of Ridley Scott, was found dead earlier today after jumping off the highest point of the Vincent Thomas Bridge at approximately 12:30 pm on Sunday August 19, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. The LA Times reports that investigators discovered a note in Scott’s car which was parked on the bridge. The note listed contact information and a suicide note was later found in his office.

Scott directed many classics such as Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop II, The Last Boy Scout, True Romance, Enemy Of The State, Days Of Thunder, and Man On Fire among many others. If you’re a fan of action movies…there is no way that one of those isn’t a favorite of yours. Just hours prior to learning about this today I posted news of the upcoming sequel to Top Gun that he was set to direct. I can honestly say that this was one sequel to an 80’s movie that I wanted to see. There is no question that we lost a great today.

RIP Tony Scott. (1944 – 2012)
