The British Film Director, Tony Scott dies - Jumped from bridge in Los Angeles at about *12:30PM(7:30 PM GMT), 2012.08.20 - according to ABC News He was suffered from inoperative brain cancer although according to TMZ, Tony Scott's wife told TMZ that NO brain cancer had he.

Serious&dark but never forgot humouor-Tony Scott's films are always digging something in which not many percieve would in his very particular, unique and somewhat humourous ways. I often find myself end up to see his name when I enjoy a film. Tony Scott is, for me, the director of such. I just go for a movie of interesting then find him, then I started remembering his name - Tony Scott, not Ridley. Yes. Although,like many of you, it was 'Ridley' that I firstly remembered as an edgy film director for his 'Alian'&'BladeRunner',etc. Finally, I realize that there is such a brothers that both are being blessed in filming. The best Tony Scott film is 'Enemy of the State'. But,the film that made me firstly become to know Tony Scott was 'True Romance'. The speed, the nuances in the feeling of being thrilled to the chemical responces and the sense of being fallen in love. Then, the theme of Tony Scott's films emerges from the helpless dark-side of certain lives of L.A. His theme is like - 'Hey why don't we try to make the situations juuuuussst a bit...'better'…?! Huh?' And even in this film,Ture Romance,…in a certain sense, it can be seen a bit 'better' ...at that stage of film ending. Sadness of unseen ending of the story can be implied, though. Many his films start from sad&dark sequences as you see in 'The Last Boyscout' then he goes on telling his stories in his hope&strength to make the situations&lives a bit better while singing a song in a certain bright tone! I still can't beleive it. I mean...his 'jump off bridge' news. It is being investigated as a suicide case according to media reports (but it was a dark night wasn't it,no?! - in L.A...?-then who could see him jumppin?!) *my apoplogy: it was the very noon in L.A.(7:30PM in U.K.(GMT))then there could be many eye witnesses who could see him volutarily jumping from the bridge to the river. TMZ reported that he had no brain cancer and that many eyewitnessed 'a man fallen from the bridge'. http://www.tmz.com/2012/08/20/tony-scott-suicide-no-brain-cancer-tumor/ As I add in the title of this post, according to the media report from ABC News, Tony Scott was caught by inoperative cancer. Source from ABC News - http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/top-gun-director-tony-scott-inoprable-brain-cancer/story?id=17039434  My thoughts are with all his fans,family&friends at this time of sorrow. I would like to express my condlenece to his family&all the people who miss him&his film making.... The last projects Tony Scott committed are, according to the Telegraph(URL citation is below):'Killing Lincoln' which is scheduled to air in early 2013 on the National Geographic Channel,and a film about diamond trading.
