Universal Set To Make New Version Of 'Scarface' Movie

 

One of the best gangster movies of all time is about to get another remake.

Deadline is reporting that Universal is preparing to film a third version of Scarface.

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.

The version starring Al Pacino is one of the most popular movies ever in the hip-hop community. More than 10 million copies of the DVD have been sold worldwide.

No word yet on casting or a release date for this latest version.

Would you like to see another Scarface remake or should they leave a classic alone?
