Who would you cast for Tony Montana in new scarface remake?
It's not an easy question, if you think about it, there aren't many good options around.

Leonardo Di Caprio is gonna get this isn't he?

Christian Bale would be my choice but he'd never be able to pull off the accent.

Overall my pick would be Benicio Del Toro.

Javier Badem?? Benecio can play any role…I hated his character in Savages…lol Its going to be a TOUGH act to follow Pacino….besides Godfather…my favorite role he has played to date…

Javier Bardem should play Sosa.

Agree, there is no-one today who could do it, I just don't think there is...

Have you seen the craziness in Knoxville's eyes?

I definitely agree! This movie is perfect the way it is.

Please...someone who doesn't have a ridiculous Cuban accent. It's the one thing I keep thinking about when watching it.

[–] djryback 9 years ago

Are you saying that Pacino did sound like real Cuban? I don't know since I'm european, so I'm asking

[–] sized-2 9 years ago

I'm saying the exac opposite.

[–] djryback 9 years ago

sorry lol I made a typo, what I wanted to say is "didn't sound like Cuban"
anyway I've got my answer, thnx :)

Well My wife is Cuban American and while 'Tony Montana' ain't exactly a 'shining image' for Cuban Americans, she feels Pacino did a pretty good job with that Miami Cuban accent, though it's obviously exaggerated.

My choices to play Tony Montana in a Scarface remake would be Benicio Del Toro, Jacob Vargas, Michael Pena, and Cristian De La Fuente.
