I miss Tony. He was so exciting to work with -- always inventive and thrilled to be making a movie. The energy around him was electric. He was generous and collaborative. There's no other filmmaker like him.

@AVARY So cool how he envisioned True Romance. I remember Stevo telling me he loved that Brad Pitt played him!

@AVARY True Romance Man On Fire Top Gun Crimson Tide All 4 perfect films. Gone way too soon.

@AVARY @AVARY what is your favourite Tony Scott film and what do you think is technically his best? I have to say I am a big fan of true romance and I think it’s his best But I really like Deja vu, unstoppable and man of fire. Be interested to hear your opinion

@AVARY I worked at his company Totem for a summer. Such a different vibe than anywhere else I've worked. Extremely laid back, but still professional. A bit of wild-man energy ran through that place. Also the only boss I had that drove a hummer to work.

@AVARY He fired us off of Top Gun 2 but was such a gentleman about it (picked up the phone and said "Sorry boys, it's just not working out") that it made us love him even more. He is deeply missed.

@AVARY To this very moment, I thought that was done in post. And it was a hand crank.

@AVARY Ridley makes great cinema but Tony makes unforgettable MOVIES. Absolutely insane filmography when you actually look at it. I rewatched Domino recently and that movie is just so fucking bonkers there's literally nothing like it.

@AVARY This was an interview with Ridley Scott back in 2024. The last question made me tear up hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-f…

@AVARY One of the most consistent directors to have ever done it. Just straight, even swings throughout his career.

@AVARY Whenever Tony Scott comes up in a conversation, I always highlight The Last Boy Scout. Not because it's an amazing film, but because it reflects how a director must strive for success under the worst of circumstances/studio meddling, and somehow build a serviceable final cut.

@AVARY He had a unique way of making popcorn movies feel like epics.

@AVARY The last boys scout is an underrated 90s classic

@AVARY He made films that are endlessly re-watchable. What a cinematic legacy

@AVARY Not all his movies are masterpieces but he constantly swung for the fences and pushed other filmmakers to try uncomfortable things. God bless Tony Scott.

@AVARY If Hackman and Denzel were willing to work with him, he must have been great.

@AVARY He was my favorite. RIP

@AVARY I loved his work. I remember watching this movie for the first on Cable, I still remember it. It's one of my favorites of his, and I personally never seen the original.

@AVARY Always a sense of life and vitality to everything he worked on. Tragically overlooked as a common filmmaking reference imo.

@AVARY Miss him too. One of the greats. And one of the great mysteries of why.

@AVARY I love him too, but why do you think he jumped off a bridge? There has to be a story.

@AVARY I think if Tony had gotten the love he deserved for "The Hunger," his career would have gone quite differently. I think it broke his heart. And so he turned to violence.

@AVARY The Hunger is one of the best films I'vs seen. It is airtight and looks beautiful. For some reason most of his movies just went haywire in photography department, but the Hunger sticks out like a glaring exception. Wonder why.

@AVARY Agreed, very different style to Ridley. Him & Denzel knew how to cook.

@AVARY With AI every filmmaker can be like him.

@AVARY You can argue filmography but he was the more purely talented Scott brother

@AVARY Yeah, okay, I love most of his work, but Man On Fire is unwatchable.

@AVARY I rewatched True Romance the other day…I forgot how great Gandolfini, Walken and Pitt are in their small roles, three absolute legends…
