Scarface - remake
http://www.deadline.com/2011/09/univ...-new-scarface/
Reported by Deadline.com The story says this is not a "Remake" or "Sequel" I'm now waiting for Paramount to announce an "Update" for The Godfather :lol: |
re: Scarface - remake
...so it's a remake? That's what it reads like.

re: Scarface - remake
This paragraph is confusing:
The film is not intended to be a remake or a sequel. It will take the common elements of the first two films: an outsider, an immigrant, barges his way into the criminal establishment in pursuit of a twisted version of the American dream, becoming a kingpin through a campaign of ruthlessness and violent ambition. The studio is keeping the specifics of where the new Tony character comes from under wraps at the moment, but ethnicity and geography were important in the first two versions. In the 1932 Scarface, an Italian (Paul Muni) took over Chicago, and in the Brian De Palma-directed remake, a Cuban cornered the cocaine trade in 1980s Miami, only to be consumed by it. Ann Dvorak, George Raft and Boris Karloff starred in the original and Michelle Pfeiffer, Steven Bauer and Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio starred in the remake. If they don't want this to be a remake, then why even associate it with Scarface or have a script outline that is identical to it? |

I hope there's a 'W' somewhere onscreen right before anyone dies.

Hip-hop version?

re: Scarface - remake
FUCK Universal. I guess they'll remake their entire catalog before they decide to make something original again.

re: Scarface - remake
Movies should only get remade a third time if the second iteration sucked. You can only do so much with the same premise.
Would rather see that Cocaine Cowboys feature adaptation than this. |
re: Scarface - remake
Shia LaBeouf is in talks.

Who are the modern bad guys? Bankers and meth dealers? Mexican cocaine? I'd be up for that movie. Glorifying it would be completely irresponsible. But I guess it wasn't too responsible to make Scarface in the 80's. It bared a "crime doesn't pay" message, but just barely.

I say make it Eastern Europe baddies or even more fun Middle Eastern dudes. Not terrorists mind you, just slick drug dealing criminals. Maybe Javier Bardem can play a Middle Eastern dude.

I wish Universal good luck because they are going to need lots and lots of it. ;)

$10 says it's PG-13?

re: Scarface - remake
This has entered the pantheon of threemakes now along with King Kong and The Thing.

re: Scarface - remake
Why can I totally see Tony Scott making this?

He grows up on the mean streets of 'Esto es de Mala Calidad' in central Mexico. There he learns of his familia's history, their proud times, and their dark times. (Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill starts playing) This summer your invited to come and escape into a world of love, anger, betrayal, madness, and forgiveness.

Talking about TMF...I really wished the BD had all 3 versions like the DVD had. Yes, the Huston one is the better one...but it's still interesting to see the others. |
