Scarface (Re-Remake)

[Michael24]

I always laugh when I see people losing it over a Scarface remake, considering itself is a remake already. Haha! That just amuses me. That said, I don't see this new one being nearly as memorable or iconic, especially with Fuqua directing, but part of me is kind of curious to see what they do with a modern adaptation. Much like how the De Palma one was also, at the time, a modern adaptation.

I though the De Palma was using the '32 as a reference and not a direct remake?

I thought this was already in the works and that DiCaprio was playing Montana. Got Em!!

Fuqua could make it an interesting modern adaptation, it's possible.

But I'd be more behind it if a different director (like Mann, Fincher, Villeneuve, etc) were involved.

In this day and age when Ghostbusters and Ben Hur are redone for a quick buck, it's hard to get excited about any remake anymore, they all sound arbitrary (although I am intrigued to see what Fuqua does with The Magnificent Seven).

As long as it doesn't have that awful 80's synthesizer music, I'm in. The music in the '83 film makes it almost unwatchable for me.

Let them remake it. Who cares. The '83 version is not a good movie at all. Plus, it itself is a remake so there is no room for complaining about it being remade.

The '83 Scarface is awesome
