It
So sad. It is truly tragic. Famed film producer/director, Tony Scott, took his own life yesterday. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Why he chose to end his time here on earth, is not for me to speculate. I will only say that we have lost a great talent.
I am grateful for the films and the legacy he has left. Two of my all time favorites–True Romance and Man on Fire–will be cherished always. Unlike his older brother, Ridley Scott, Tony had a hyper, kinetic style that was fun and exuberant, but nonetheless beautifully crafted and executed.
He will be missed.
Found this cool video–Scott in his own words…

Thanks.
I would love to–but, I will have to try to squeeze it in sometime…been a bit crazed lately.
Great tribute to a great director RIP Tony Scott, True Romance is such a great movie.
Thanks. I love the clip of Scott talking about directing–he really loved what he did.
It is a sad turn of events…
I agree with you about that clip. By the way you have a really good blog, you should check mine out if you get the chance.
Will do!
Appreciate the visits! Thanks.
Man I don’t think I’d actually ever heard Tony Scott talking. I think I always assumed he’s have an American accent and be very different to Ridley for some reason. Actually they seem quite similar. Thanks for posting that vid of him talking. Such a shame.
Yeah…it is tragic. I was happy I found that piece–it was cool to see his passion and how he processed what he did for a living. Fascinating. Sad to think what could have motivated his decision…
Thanks for stopping by!
