Tony Scott, the director behind a raft of action blockbusters including Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop II, has leapt to his death from a harbour bridge in Los Angeles, shocking Hollywood. The American broadcaster ABC News reported last night that the British-born director and producer had been diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer – quoting a source close to the filmmaker. Born in North Shields, Mr Scott was the brother of the director Ridley Scott. He was seen by several witnesses jumping from a bridge spanning Los Angeles harbour at about 12.30pm on Sunday. His body was retrieved from the waters by police divers a few hours later. The witnesses said they saw Mr Scott, who was 68, stopping his car, a Toyota Prius, in the middle of the bridge, scaling a high fence and then throwing himself off apparently without any hesitation. The 6,060ft Vincent Thomas Bridge rises to 185 feet at its highest point and has been featured in Hollywood films such as The Fast and the Furious. It is a notorious spot in Los Angeles for suicide jumpers. The Los Angeles Coroner's Office confirmed that his death was being treated as a suicide. "There's nothing to indicate it is anything else at this time," said Lt Joe Bale, although final word on cause of death will not be released until completion of an autopsy. Hollywood A-listers paid tribute to the man noted for his fast-paced editing style and for hits with Top Gun, Days of Thunder, Crimson Tide, True Romance and Enemy of the State. Earlier this year, Mr Scott teamed up with Ridley to produce the anticipated Alien prequel, Prometheus. Tony and Ridley founded a production company together called Scott Free Productions. Tony Scott's repertoire also stretched into countless commercials for television as well as the development of TV dramas including the The Good Wife and Numb3rs, both originally made for the CBS network. Of the two brothers, it was Ridley, whose credits include Alien and Gladiator, who received the most critical acclaim, including a series of nominations at the Oscars. Tony, who specialised in high-grossing, high-octane films such as his 2000 hit Unstoppable, was never nominated. He was nonetheless a fixture in the Hollywood community and, with his trademark cigar and frayed baseball cap, was widely liked. There was no confirmation by the Coroner's Office of reports in the Los Angeles Times that police found a note with contact details, including the phone number of his wife, inside the car and that investigators had also located a suicide note in his office. Nor were the contents of the alleged note disclosed. Simon Halls, a spokesman for the Scotts said the family asked "that their privacy be respected at this time". The tributes came quickly. The actor Adam Goldberg, who worked with Scott on Deja Vu, said: "Tony Scott was one of the, if not the, warmest and most generous directors for whom I've ever worked. I'll miss you man." The actress Keira Knightley, who starred in his 2005 film Domino, called him "one of the most extraordinary, imaginative men I ever worked with". The Top Gun actor Val Kilmer said: "RIP Tony. You were the kindest film director I ever worked for. You will be missed." Director Ron Howard said: "No more Tony Scott movies. Tragic day." Robert Rodriguez, director of Sin City and Desperado added: "Tony Scott. Damn. Great knowing you, buddy. Thanks for the inspiration, advice, encouragement, and the decades of great entertainment." Scott had recently completed filming on a suspense feature called Out of the Furnace. Due out next spring, it features the actor Christian Bale playing the role of an ex-prison inmate. The police in Los Angeles were alerted to Mr Scott's apparent suicide thanks to witnesses who called the 911 emergency number instantly to report seeing him fall into the water. The bridge links San Pedro in Los Angeles with Terminal Island. Tony Scott: The films... The Hunger (1983) Critics sniff at vampire love triangle starring David Bowie but Scott's big screen debut attracts cult audience and establishes a visceral, MTV-friendly, visual signature. Top Gun (1986) Testosterone explosion of Tom Cruise's smile, rock soundtrack and pulsating aerial scenes powers US-hymning fighter pilot blockbuster breakthrough. Took $350m on $15m budget. Days of Thunder (1990) "Top Gun on wheels" with Cruise as Nascar-racing hotshot which did the business on VHS despite whiplash editing style easily lapping substance. True Romance (1993) Lurid Tarantino-penned road movie featuring deranged cameo from Gary Oldman left the mainstream audience baffled but delivered on pulp thrills. Crimson Tide (1995) Scott takes audiences to brink of Armageddon with nuclear submarine showdown starring Denzel Washington which amps up the tension levels. A multiplex masterpiece. Enemy of the State (1998) Hi-tech conspiracy thriller starring Will Smith prefigures concerns over state surveillance and delivers sufficient pacey, action sequences to bridge plot plausibility gap. Megaflop bounty hunter misfire starring Keira Knightley savaged as a hyper-edited, confusing mess but fiercely defended by Scott supporters as a pure sensory-overload. Unstoppable (2010) Final movie sees Washington back for explosive-laden, runaway freight train epic which is pulse-pounding, fun, fast, loud and utterly ludicrous – pure Tony Scott. - More about: - Alan Parker - Cars - Cinema - Feet (anatomy) - Film Directors - Hollywood - Los Angeles - Ridley Scott

Tony Scott, redatelj holivudskih hitova poput 'Top Guna, 'Dana groma' i 'Policajca s Beverly Hillsa 2' tragično je preminuo u nedjelju počinivši samoubojstvo, objavila je agencija Associated Press Šezdesetosmogodišnji redatelj navodno je skočio s mosta u Los Angelesu i njegova se smrt istražuje. Nekoliko ljudi nazvalo je broj hitne službe u nedjelju oko 12,35 kako bi prijavilo da su vidjeli kako netko skače s mosta Vincent Thomas koji povezuje San Pedro i otok Terminal u losanđeleskoj luci. Ronilački tim losanđeleske policije izvukao je tijelo iz mora nekoliko sati kasnije. Dio mosta bio je zatvoren za promet tijekom istrage. Policajci su pronašli cedulju u Scottovu automobilu koji je bio parkiran na mostu, piše Los Angeles Times. Na toj su cedulji bili kontakti, a oproštajno pismo redatelja nađeno je nešto kasnije u njegovom uredu. Tony Scott rođen je 1944. u Velikoj Britaniji, ali je živio na Beverly Hillsu. Brat je producenta i redatelja Ridleyja Scotta s kojim je vodio kompaniju Scott Free Productions i zajedno su trenutačno radili na projektu pod nazivom 'Killing Lincoln' utemeljenom na bestseleru Billa O'Reillyja. Njihova kompanija stoji i iza velikog ovogodišnjeg hita 'Prometej' Ridleyja Scotta. Tony Scott debitirao je filmom 'Glad za krvlju' s Davidom Bowiejem, ali njegov sljedeći film 'Top Gun' s Tomom Cruiseom u glavnoj ulozi bio je veliki hit i jedan od filmova s najvećom zaradom 1986. Sa slavnim se glumcem ponovo udružio četiri godine kasnije na filmu 'Dani groma'. Scott je također često surađivao s glumcem Denzelom Washingtonom; prija par godina zajedno su snimlili posljednji film 'Nezaustavljivi', a ranije su surađivali na projektima 'Tjelesna straža', 'Deja Vu' i 'Otmica metroa 123'. Već u nedjelju redatelj Ron Howard na Twitteru je napisao: 'Nema više filmova Tonyja Scotta. Tragičan dan.' Snimio je još i filmove 'Prava romansa' prema scenariju Quentina Tarantina te 'Grimizna plima' i 'Državni neprijatelj', a bio je u braku s glumicom Donnom Scott s kojom ima dva sina blizanca. - Sviđa vam se članak?
