SCARFACE Remake Coming?


Two months after it was announced that a remake of Scarface was being prepped within Hollywood, Deadline is reporting we have our first writer tapped for the script writing duties. The online trade reveals that Training Day scribe David Ayer has been hired by producers Martin Bregma and Marc Shmuger to bring the tale to the modern era of moviegoers. Bregma was a producer on Brian De Palma's 1983 version, which was a remake of Howard Hawks' 1932 film.

With Ayer just being brought on board for drafting duties, it's still too early to describe how this latest version of Scarface will differ from the previous two versions of the character. The online trade did reveal that Ayer has studed the 1932 and 1983 films but that this new version will likely steer away from any specific remake elements outside of the basic storyline. Mania.com
