NO director Pablo Larrain has reportedly signed on to take over the remake/retelling of classic gangster film SCARFACE.
Back in 2013 David Yates was attached to the film, but with nearly a year of no news it seems that Larrain has swooped in. DONNIE BRASCO writer Paul Attanasio has penned a draft of the script but, like many remakes, changes have been made. Much like the 1932 and 1983 versions, the main character will be named Tony, but this time around he’ll be a Mexican immigrant, with plans to hire a bilingual Latino actor. There’ll also be an aspect of an ‘origin’ story, delving into Tony’s past and how he became the man he is.
Are you a SCARFACE fan? What do you think of the news? Whilst we’ve been hit by a wave of ‘origins’ over the last few years, I think it’ll be interesting to see a fan-favourite retold.
