Damn! How sad. I liked almost every movie he's done. Just tragic news and I'm shocked to be honest.

He made some very, very cool movies. The stylish Hollywood action thriller won't be the same without him. Feel bad for Ridley.
I can't live the buttoned-down life like you. I want it all. The dizzying highs, the terrifying lows, the creamy middles. Sure, I may offend some of the blue bloods with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "city fathers," who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards and talk about what's to be done with this Homer Simpson?

Just heard this morning. Very sad, he made some good movies and was born a stones throw from me.

Was one of my favourites. Always brought a lot of energy to the films he directed. I know it's a bit early to joke about it...but someone said to me: "Damn, he must have read his brothers script for Bladerunner 2". I had to laugh.

I'm always saddened and stunned when I hear of someone taking their own lives. To think there are no other options... must truely be the loneliest place on earth. Shawn.....><

Part of me wants to believe this is some Twitter hoax. I know that bridge in Long Beach, been on it lots. It will never be the same for me when I cross it in the future. I can't imagine what his brother and his family must be going through. E.D.

Damn...very sad and tragic. A great talent wasted in suicide of all things? Why? Does anyone know details of what was potentially wrong? And tell me why he drove a Toyota Prius of all things. RIP Tony. We'll miss you!!

True Romance was one of my favorites. And I know it didn't do good, but I really loved 'Domino'.

Top Gun 2?
Yeah, Rick's right. Probably too early to joke.
He did leave a letter I heard, but it probably won't be released for a little bit, if ever. It's up to the Scott family.

Tony was a great guy. I am in complete shock right now.
'Artist' is not a term you should use to refer to yourself. Let others, and your work, do it for you.
