The estate of late director Tony Scott has been hit with a creditor's claim from executives of a Hollywood talent agency for more than $1 million in unpaid commissions.

Lawyers for Creative Artists Agency (CAA) have filed documents in Los Angeles Superior Court stating company bosses are entitled to 10 per cent of Scott's fees for projects he was involved with before he jumped to his death from a bridge in California last August.

The suit claims the company is owed $450,000 for Man on Fire, $110,000 for The Taking of Pelham 123, $400,000 for Deja Vu and $70,000 for Unstoppable.

Tom Cruise is jetting back onto the big screen in a 3D update of his hit film Top Gun.

The 1986 classic helped make Cruise a superstar and raked in more $353 million at the box office.

The update was overseen by tragic director Tony Scott, who committed suicide by jumping to his death from a bridge in California in August.

The circumstances surrounding filmmaker Tony Scott's suicide are still puzzling. As more findings about his death are released, police officials are still baffled as to why he jumped to his death from the Vincent Thomas Bridge in California in August.

According to the Los Angeles Times, drowning was also considered a factor in his death.

Let’s face it, real life is not very interesting most days. That is one of the reasons movies have such power over us; they offer a fantastic escape from reality. Thanks to the magic of special effects and suspension of disbelief, films have the ability to take us places our lives cannot. Usually we have that concept in mind when we hear that a film is “based on actual events.” We assume that the filmmakers have taken some liberties with the story to make it more exciting.

The best movies based on real life however keep a balance between the true account and the sensationalized version...

I thoroughly enjoyed the premiere of AMC’s new series “The Walking Dead” last Sunday. I’m excited to see the next episode and I am hopeful that the series will continue to sustain the dramatic tension and strong human focus present in the first episode.

On the movie front, I had the opportunity to see the Todd Philips comedy “Due Date starring Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. While the plot itself is formulaic, the film is quite funny due to the performances by Downey Jr. and Galifianakis. Check out my review here, if you have not already.
