Antoine Fuqua is in talks to direct Universal’s re-imagining of “Scarface”.

According to Deadline, the upcoming project will set the immigrant rags-to-riches story in contemporary Los Angeles.

Jonathan Herman wrote the most recent draft of the script from previous versions by Paul Attanasio and David Ayer.

Marc Shmuger, Scott Stuber and Dylan Clark are producing with Marty Bregman.

The new film will be the third iteration of the crime classic, following Universal’s 1932 film with star Paul Muni and the 1983 version with Al Pacino.

Cue all the rage in 3..2..1..

I've never seen the original, but the Pacino Scarface is an overrated turd. Don't see where any rage will logically come from, the famous version already totally altered the characters background.

Seems there are right people working on it.

How ironic

Yeah, when I heard they were remaking Scarface I wasn't really upset because I was thinking we'd get a story about the actual AL Capone Scarface. But of course we're just gonna get some dumb bullsh!t about some guy in LA

Regardless of whether you like it or not, it was a cultural phenomenon and it’s still pretty popular. Writing it off as a simple remake of an older movie is really taking it out of its cultural context. You could say the same thing about the Wizard of Oz, but the fact that it wasn’t the first adaptation of the source material doesn’t lessen its cultural value.

Danny Ramirez (the new Falcon in the MCU, also from Top Gun Maverick and Last of Us season 2) to play the lead in a new Scarface remake. Apparently it's going to be about a Colombian/Mexican this time around and super contemporary.

Of course, you can imagine how it might be contemporary. The "Tony Montana" character will be an illegal immigrant with a heart of gold this time, with evil ICE agents as gestapo in his way.

Ramirez was easily the worst part of BNW for me, aside from Banner being absent from what was ostensibly Incredible Hulk 2.

People are saying he doesn't have the chops. I say I see a little spark in him. But it'll take a GREAT script to make it work. Oliver Stone worked on the last one... and it doesn't sound like this cat has those caliber of people around him on the script level.
