Director Tony Scott dead at 68

http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/20/showbi...ott/index.html
Scott, best known for the films "Top Gun", "Beverly Hills Cop II," "Days of Thunder", "True Romance", and "Crimson Tide" apparently committed suicide by jumping from a bridge. He was the younger brother of Ridley Scott.

Apparently he had terminal brain cancer, may he rest in peace and I wish his brother and family well.

He was working on Top Gun 2 before he died. Makes you wonder what's gonna happen to that film. Maybe his brother will take over.
