"He was a truly unforgettable & formidable artist to work with," he continued. "Fearless yet thoughtful, strong as an ox yet amazingly sensitive, always utterly focused on his vision, yet never lacking in humor and compassion and never losing sight of his and our great fortune to be working on movies for a living. He was a one of a kind and will be sorely missed. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Donna, and to his boys and the rest of the Scott family."
Gregson-Williams was the composer on: Spy Game, Beat the Devil, Man on Fire, Domino, Deja Vu, The Taking of Pelham 123, and Unstoppable. He joins the many Hollywood figures that reacted with great sadness to the news of Scott's death.
