Update On The 'Scarface' Update: David Ayer Chosen As Writer
A few months ago it was revealed that Universal was planning to update Brian De Palma's 'Scarface.' In order to prevent a full-scale movie geek upheaval, Universal was quick to point out that this would not be a 'Scarface' remake, but rather another, more contemporary, story about an immigrant who rises through the ranks of some American crime syndicate in another perversion of the American dream. Well now it seems the project has found a writer in David Ayer ('Training Day,' 'The Fast and the Furious'). Ayer states that he is not intimidated to take on such an iconic property and that he campaigned hard for the film. He also stated that he has studied both the De Palma 'Scarface' and the 1932 version directed by Howard Hawks and taken note of their shared traits. No word yet as to when production on this new 'Scarface' will begin.
As die-hard a fan of 'Scarface' as I am, I actually have no problem with this project. If the goal of the new film was merely to create a shot-for-shot remake of De Palma's version, then it would border dangerously on cinematic sacrilege. Since they are going with the revamp based on similar themes but not necessarily the same character, the whole thing seems downright appropriate. I mean if someone had decided that Paul Muni's 'Scarface' was untouchable, we wouldn't have gotten everybody's favorite bad guy. The thing that makes me laugh is how Ayer is talking about all these similarities he's discovering between the two existing films. Yeah David, that's probably because they are both based on the book by Armitage Trail which was itself an adaptation of the life of Al Capone. Those similarities aren't accidental nor are they clandestine. In any event, it will be interesting to see how Ayer's new arch villain takes shape.

I will fully endorse if Denzel stars, Christian Bale co-stars, Ethan Hawke supports, Scorsese directs, and the soundtrack is comprised entirely of 1970's classic rock and funk (with one DMX song, because f*ck you). Also, drop the name Tony Montana, and let's call the protagonist Danny California.
"Next summer, Denzel Washington takes America's crime syndicate by storm. Also, he stars as Danny Cali Kalifornia in director Martin Scorsese's remake of his best friend's crime epic, Scarface." [Hawke tagline voiceover] "Ehh, whaddya tackin' about f*ck you."
[Fade out] I tell you, looooove, sista. It's just a kiss away. It's just a kiss away (DUNA DUNA DUNA DUNA).

The De Palma Scarface left a lasting impression the original did not.Face it when people think Scarface they think Tony Montana,just as I'm sure David Ayer does even though he says he studied both.I'v seen Training Day and Harsh Times,I think he's gonna go down the same rout with this and gangster culture.David Ayer seems to be into that stuff.Listen to the Commentaries from Harsh Times,maybe it's because he's actually hung out with people that are close to that world(Not necessarily gangster culture but just ghetto shit).
I will say this though he kept it real in those,so it's nothing against him just that character of Scarface,He's already done better than scarface with the character of Alonzo Harris,and Alonzo Harris wasn't a fucking coke head either.

While you're all bitching about them remaking Scarface, bitch about De Palma remaking Scarface. Why didn't he just use an original name? They're updating the story for modern times, just like De Palma did off the original from the 30's. Calm the fuck down.

@Richard Dempsey
If they call it a remake, people will think it will be about Tony Montana and his climb to the top of the Miami gangster scene. The original had the same plot, but was about a completely different character and setting. Of course it's a remake, but they don't want people to think its about Tony Montana again. Same plot, different characters.
