"Ridley Scott has halted production on his latest film The Counselor in the wake of his brother Tony Scott&amp;#039;s apparent suicide. The Top Gun director died on Sunday (August 19) after seemingly throwing himself off a Los Angeles bridge.  (Tony Scott is pictured on the set of The Fan) Initial reports suggested that Tony had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, but those claims have since been denied by his family. His sibling and frequent collaborator Ridley had been shooting the drug-themed drama The Counselor in London over the weekend, but has since put filming on hold. Ridley is believed to have returned to Los Angeles to comfort his family in the wake of Tony&amp;#039;s tragic death, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Tony&amp;#039;s passing has drawn tributes from Hollywood stars including Denzel Washington, Julianna Margulies, Ron Howard and Edgar Wright. Tom Cruise - who worked with Tony on Top Gun - hailed the filmmaker as a &amp;quot;creative visionary whose mark on film is immeasurable&amp;quot;. Tony was 68 years old at the time of his death.
