Tribute: Director Tony Scott
Posted on August 20, 2012 at 9:33 am
We had some very sad news this morning. Director Tony Scott has died at age 68, an apparent suicide. Like his older brother, Ridley Scott, Tony will be remembered for a powerfully imaginative visual style. He is best known for testosterone-fueled films like “Top Gun,” “Crimson Tide,” “Days of Thunder,” “True Romance,” and “Enemy of the State,” but he worked with his brother and other directors on a wide range of productions that included cult classic “Donny Darko” and the hit television series “The Good Wife.” May his memory be a blessing.

More 3D Conversions: Top Gun is Next
Posted on September 12, 2011 at 3:33 pm
The re-release of “The Lion King” in 3D is coming this month and now the Hollywood Reporter says that “Top Gun” is being adapted for a 3D release. Apparently, director Tony Scott has not yet given his approval.
As I noted on Ebert Presents At the Movies, there’s a world of difference between films shot in 3D and those converted to 3D after they have been shot with 2D cameras. I don’t think there’s any benefit at all from releasing a well-known film in an obviously-converted format, do you?
