Just the writer. Though its greatness probably can be attributed to him as much as Scott and the great cast. Crimson Tide and even Man on Fire are fine films though.
I really enjoyed Unstoppable (2010) which he directed - I’m a bit of a train buff, which helped, but it was a pretty good action movie. So sad to see him go but I guess if the inoperable brain tumor is true that would probably explain it.
How does one apparently jump from a bridge? I can see calling an OD or something like that possibly being ambiguous enough to call a death an apparent suicide, but there’s nothing apparent going on here.
Rant out of the way, condolences and prayers for his family, friends, and fans.
It still could have been an accident. He might have gone up to the bridge to shoot himself with a nice view for his final moments, but slipped before he could pull the trigger.
It’s sad that this had to be an end for a man facing a lingering death by brain cancer. There should be better options than jumping off a bridge.
He was working on developing the Top Gun sequel. I hope brother Ridley steps in to finish it as a tribute to his brother. A movie isn’t life or death, but it would be a fitting tip of the red hat to his brother.
