"Scarface is the movie that youll most likely see a poster of in a rappers movie theater. This much I have concluded. Other than that I question the idea that the world is asking for a remake of one of the most classic films of all time. Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino has signed on to take over the project.

There are already two versions of the gangster classic: the first, from 1932 starring Paul Muni and directed by Howard Hawks (The Big Sleep), and the second is the notorious 1983 production starring Al Pacino thats directed by Brian De Palma (Mission: Impossible).

Joel Coen and Ethan Coen wrote the latest version of the script with earlier drafts by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, Jonathan Herman and Paul Attanasio.

Scarface will be produced by Dylan Clark for his Dylan Clark Productions. Scott Stuber will executive produce alongside Marco Marabito. SVP Brian Williams will also executive produce for Dylan Clark Productions.

Whatever. Thats all industry speak, but it means at least the remake is in the hands of some heavy hitters and should get a respectable treatment."

They can remake or re-adapt a story and make it great. As great as the version that came before it. They did so with True Grit.

Why are they rebooting Scarface?

Are they going to make the plot coherent?

That robs it of what made it endearing.

I'm curius how that's going to work out.
The 80s Miami vibe is a big part of what made Scarface great to me. It's such a distinct look and feel that anyone who played Vice City likely said "they went with Scarface" within 10 minutes of starting the game.

A quick IMDB search has Diego Luna attached to it as well. He was fantastic so far in Narcos: Mexico so I trust he could do well as Tony but who knows if that's who he's playing.

....What!? They've been talking about remaking Scarface for years. I always dreaded when they were going to finally do it because I never had hope for Hollywood doing it right. This gives me hope and interests the hell out of me. I can't imagine how a Coens version of is going to play out and that's a good thing because it won't be a typical safe remake.

I wonder how it's going to be done. The original was about an Italian immigrant who got into bootlegging liquor. The remake was about a Cuban immigrant getting into cocaine dealing/trafficking. What's the next evolution here?

It's hard to get that mad over a movie with a remake being remade anyway, but the 83 version was a rare example of remake actually being not only good, but even better than the original.

When I went through my gangster movie phase in my early 20's, I definitely thought the 80's 'Scarface' could use a do-over just to deal with how dated some of that movie feels. That movie is held together almost entirely by Pacino being Pacino.

As for the people saying "Can we not." While I get most people are bad at remakes we are talking the Coen brothers. If anyone can remake a masterpiece and create an equally great film it's them. They have done it before.

The original was laced with comedy, and de Palma's remake is too unreal to be taken totally straight. This is just a good idea.

Meh.

Al Pacino as Tony was one of the best casted and acted roles ever. Doesnt matter who they get its gonna be garbage relative to pacinos portrayal.

It makes sense that the remake would take place somewhere besides Miami. The original took place in Chicago, if I'm not mistaken, and the first remake in Miami, so L.A. seems fine.
