  Antoine Fuqua - Biography - Moviefone
A native of Pittsburgh, Fuqua cut his teeth in film by directing videos for such artists as Arrested Development, Prince, and Toni Braxton, and the tell-tale signs of admitted influence Tony Scott could clearly be seen even in these early works.
Though Fuqua's follow-up, the bombastic action thriller Tears of the Sun (2003), was greeted at the box office with little fanfare, his 2004 blues documentary Lightning in a Bottle found the generally flashy director toning things down a bit to investigate the history of one of America's most beloved musical styles.
Later that year, Fuqua returned to feature territory with what would be his biggest production to date, a historical drama detailing the life of the eponymous leader of the Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur.
