Two more film-related tragedies
After the Batman shooting, everyone was thinking "what's worse than that?" Chris Bale, Hans Zimmer, and Warner Bros. helped the recovery by giving special gifts to the victims. Now, Tony Scott, director of the action blockbusters Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop II, Crimson Tide, Man on Fire, and Enemy of the State, the cult classic vampire film The Hunger, the crime film True Romance (written by Quentin Tarantino), and the racing film Days of Thunder, has committed suicide. I don't know the specific reasons, but I believe it was something to do with a brain tumor diagnosis. He was the younger brother of Ridley Scott, director of Alien, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Thelma and Louise, Blade Runner, Matchstick Men, Kingdom of Heaven, Legend, G.I. Jane, Hannibal, 1492, American Ganster, and Prometheus. He also was the co-creator and owner of the brother's studio: "Scott Free". I do not like people who call him "selfish", because he probably killed himself so his family could not watch him suffer. Also, this isn't an official story, but there is some speculation that Nic Cage could have died in a skiing accident! More news on that later, if anything else comes up. Tony Scott will be in our memories forever, as long as his films continue to bring joy and excitement, (or terror) to the hearts of moviegoers.
