Fox announced today that it has signed a three-year deal with Scott Free, the production company run by filmmakers Ridley Scott and Tony Scott. The deal includes both producing and directing components. While there are no set guidelines on the number of studio backed productions, each Scott is contractually obligated to direct at least one picture for Fox over the next three years.

The famous filmmaking brother duo have produced some of the most successful movies in the past 20 years. Ridley lists Gladiator, Alien and Blade Runner on his resume, while his brother Tony boasts Top Gun, True Romance and Enemy Of The State on his.
