He also helmed 'At Close Range,' 'After Dark, My Sweet,' 'Two Bits' and lots of Madonna music videos before succumbing to brain cancer.

James Foley, a director best known for his work on Glengarry Glen Ross and the Fifty Shades Of Grey sequels, has died, reports TheWrap. The director had been privately living with brain cancer for the past year and died peacefully in his sleep this week. Foley was 71 years old.

Foley regained his footing quickly. In 1990 he made a tight, nasty, uncompromised movie out of nihilist noir master Jim Thompson’s After Dark, My Sweet, in which washed-up boxer Jason Patric is inveigled by Bruce Dern and seduced by Rachel Ward, resulting in a criminal mess.
