Tony Scott passed away in 2012, FWIW. Scott Free is basically Ridley and Jake. They are a good production company with a lot of hits under their belt -- I was just pointing out that Scott Free had nothing to do with "Alien" or "Top Gun".Ridleys brother Tony Scott of TG fame has been in the production/direction loop along with Ridley and nephew Jake for years now so all in the family is a huge Win for Apple even if you are nitpicking.

Ridleys brother Tony Scott of TG fame has been in the production/direction loop along with Ridley and nephew Jake for years now so all in the family is a huge Win for Apple even if you are nitpicking.I am nitpicking here, but Scott Free was formed in 1995 -- it had nothing to do with "Alien" (1979) or "Top Gun" (1986).
