First you get another Scarface movie, then you get the money
The increasingly high on its own supply Universal has once more delved into its library and come up with Scarface, because in Hollywood it is perpetually 1 a.m., everyone’s a little wasted, and it’s loud as shit in here, so we may as well watch something we’ve already seen a million times. Deadline reports that the studio is currently working with Martin Bregman, producer of the Al Pacino version, to develop a new take on Scarface that—like Brian De Palma’s 1983 update of Howard Hawks’ 1932 original—will be neither remake nor sequel, but rather another play on the “common elements” of the archetypal gangster story. It will, however, still bear the name Scarface, as a lot of guys already have that on their T-shirts. (Some of them have even named their dog that, which is a sign that you should think up an excuse to leave their house soon.)
