EXCLUSIVE: Universal Pictures is developing a new version of Scarface, the title first released in 1932 and then turned into the iconic 1983 film that starred Al Pacino as Cuban gangster Tony Montana. I’d heard that the studio has been meeting writers to script a take for a film that will be produced by Marc Shmuger and Martin Bregman. Bregman produced the Pacino version.

The film is not intended to be a remake or a sequel. It will take the common elements of the first two films: an outsider, an immigrant, barges his way into the criminal establishment in pursuit of a twisted version of the American dream, becoming a kingpin through a campaign of ruthlessness and violent ambition.

Y'know... why keep the name? If it's not a remake or sequel... If it's just a reimagining of a concept... Can you name it something else? IMO if you're going to make a movie it should be good enough to ride it's OWN name.

Then it's just a no-name movie with zero branding?

Call it Scarface.... you already got millions flocking to it guaranteed.
