Time for another remake.

This is the most important film to me, and I watched it in a certain day every year, take it as a festival, And after my 13th anniversary, watching it still feels like the first time I watched it.

And now I'm ready for more. 30 years after the first remake, I guess it would be a good time to make a 2nd remake. Change the background into 21th century, more or less same story line, same Scarface.

If anyone thought the same, guess who's director? who's Scarface? and what's the new little friend to say hello to will be like?

why though? the 1983 movie is fricken perfect. Studio's do remakes for dumb ass millennials that have serious ADHD problems, hooked on action, and have no sense of what a plot is... just so they can make more money. If they remade it, it would probably be PG-13 so they could scoop up all the teeny booper money. Which means no significant violence and nudity. And in this day and age they'd have to make it politically correct so the feminists could feel empowered and Tony Montana would probably become Tina Montana, and played by Queen Latifa or something. And who in Hollywood these days could do a better acting job than Pacino? The guy is one of the all time greats. Basically a remake would be some watered down POS that lacked the essence of what made it a great move. All the self destructive an excessive violence is sort of the point and moral of the story. If they'd remake this, then what's next? The Godfather? The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly? Cool Hand Luke? Taxi Driver? lol... If you don't get my point, try and and imagine what a 21st century remake of Gone with the Wind would be

Movies like this shouldn't be remade, the remake is already the best it can be.

Why? Messing with anything that is already great, usually won't make it better. And Remakes only turn out great bc the original movie was never really that good. Plus, cinematography and original filming locations have a lot to do with a classic movie.

In a sense the 1983 ScarFace (remake) was remade with an urban twist with NewJack City.

Except Nino didn't use Cane and the Cops and then a disenfranchised Vet Took out Nino and not another drug dealer.

No to the remake Hollywood will only *beep* it up like they always do. Some movies just need to be left alone and Scarface(1983) is one of them.

I would rather see someone come up with a new and original idea instead of recycling old stuff.

Since 1950 all but two mass shootings happened in gun free zones, notice a pattern?
