Scarface (1983) was already a remake.

I don't see the need for it. The Al Pacino one still holds up very well.

They should just make The World is Yours instead. A badass what if scenario.

.......just no......and the simple fact that they mentioned Christian Bale as an option to play Tony already leaves a bad taste in my mouth....

Bale certainly is the right amount of sociopath to play that role. His leaked rage out on the Terminator set might as well have been an audition for this lol

I watched scarface recently, it holds up very well no need for a remake.

Oh for the love of...**** OFF WITH THESE REMAKES! Have an original cocking idea Hollywood for goodness sake.

Pretty sure they fire people with original ideas. Bunch of troublemakers they are!

Again, for those who are against a remake in this case:

"Scarface is a 1983 American crime film directed by Brian De Palma and written by Oliver Stone, a remake of the 1932 film of the same name." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarface_(1983_film)

The original Scarface movie from 1932 is one of the most influential and (imo) best gangster movies ever made. I just watched it 2 weeks ago again (it was on my most favorite TV channel, the only TV channel in Germany which still occassionally shows movie classics from all eras, silent movies included). I strongly recommend Scarface (1932) if you haven't watched it.

Scarface is actually one of the few cases in movie history were both, the original and the remake, are undisputed classics.

Both are in AFI's top ten of all-time best gangster movies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFI%27s_10_Top_10#Gangster
