Jack Nevada Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I can't even imagine how Ridley and the whole family feels. Or Denzel. Those two were like peas and carrots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dignam Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 This is really sad. He made some of my most favorite movies ever, Man on Fire and Last Boy Scout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Suicide? It's sad news but forgive me if I don't show full sympathy for someone who just throws away a good life like that, especially when he has a family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatebox Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Suicide? It's sad news but forgive me if I don't show full sympathy for someone who just throws away a good life like that, especially when he has a family.I sincerely hope you never feel as awful as someone who kills themselves. That, from the outside, he appeared to have such a 'good life' suggests the degree of inward turmoil he must have suffered. I expect we'll never know the full story.

I guess he was ill, maybe depression. And depression is something no one should underestimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I just read this on twitter and like telemachos I cant even process this right now. Im very sad. This man on the surface seemed to have it all. Hes been working steady since Top Gun and he has all the professional success one could hope for. And he jumps off a bridge? WTF? A true industry giant has committed suicide. I hope your in a better place Tony. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitcher Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Even if his recent movies weren't really up to par, the guy was nevertheless a Hollywood icon and many of his earlier works (like Hunger, Last Boy Scout and Revenge) are among my personal favourites. Definitely a huge blow to the industry. My prayers go out to his family.I wonder what's gonna happen to Scott Free now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 There's already talk that he may have had an inoperable brain tumor. Perhaps the truth will eventually come out but it's still a terrible way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Some deaths hit me harder than others. A suicide when you are one of the biggest directors in the world just makes no sense to me. I really have a hard time understanding this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 ^^^Well you're not a happy man one day and commits suicide the next. Obviously there must have been a lot going on behind the scenes and if the rumors of an inoperable brain tumor are true that may have been the last straw. It's very unfortunate this had to happen either way.R.I.P Tony Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acab Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 He never reached his brother's level of acclaim but he always made stylish and mostly fun films to watch. My favourites are The Hunger, Enemy of the State and Spy Game. The news are shocking. His films will carry his legacy.R.I.P. Tony Scott.
