They are trying to strike gold twice after the remake of True Grit.

have seen scarface several times, and have always thought it was overrated.
Decent, but nowhere near the hype that surrounds it. We're not talking Godfather or Goodfellas here...... |

Unpopular take, but I agree. There are iconic scenes from Scarface, but IMO there are better mobster movies that are underrated. Before anyone says "C5 says 'Scarface' sucks! He sucks!" Gimme a break, man. It's a cool ass movie, but I just feel there are others out there I enjoy more not named Godfather I & II, or Goodfellas. |

I'd rather watch Goodfellas. |

But DePalma directed the hell out of it. |

edit: Shit! They got Luca Guadagnino to direct. That is going to be awesome. The film will certainly be beautiful, incredibly acted, and incredibly edited. |

I missed the Oliver Stone penned version back in the 80's and didn't see it until sometime this decade. IMO, this property is ripe for a remake because that version is just sooooooooooooooooo cheesy. From Pacino speaking like he has a speech impediment to Giorgio Moroder's ridiculously over the top electronic score, it comes across as more of a parody than an actual life or death, blood and guts film. I'd imagine that this version will be the exact opposite: Dry, unemotional and to the point. The biggest question I have at this point is the setting: Will it be set with Capone in the 30's or will they go for a modern setting featuring a Mexican drug lord, like other recent attempts? |

Wonder who will play Scarface?
I think Oscar Issac would be perfect (he previously worked with the Coens' in Inside Llewyn Davis and he looks the part). |

I *hope* it's a period piece because there's not much interesting about a crime movie set in modern Los Angeles although if anyone can pull it off, it would be the Coen's. |

If they're given a larger budget, expect it to be a top line A-lister. |
