We first heard of Universal Pictures’ plans to remake Scarfacelast September, it was reported that David Ayer (Training Day, End of Watch) had been hired to write the script for the remake.
Now comes word that the talents of Paul Attanasio have been enlisted to rewrite Ayer’s script.
The $10 t-shirt deal of the day over at RIPT Apparel is a Breaking Bad-themed shirt with a nod to Scarface called “The One Who Knocks” by WinterArtwork.
The sale at RIPT began today, Monday, August 27, 2012, at midnight CST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it will not be sold on the site anymore.
We’ve reached the top of the mountain. Things appear to only be looking down from this point on.
Deadline is reporting that David Ayer has been tapped to scribe a new project, a reboot of Scarface. That’s right, everyone’s favorite coke snorting gangster is heading back to the big screen for the third time.
In a remake/reboot/sequel/prequel–happy Hollywoodland, nothing should come as shock or surprise anymore. That said, it still doesn’t mean people will be thrilled to hear about one of these popular types of movie, especially when it involves a classic…or in this case, two of them.
It’s being reported that Universal Pictures is developing a new updated take on Scarface, which has had two previous versions of the story made: the 1932 classic starring Paul Muni and directed by Howard Hawks, and the 1983 hit starring Al Pacino and directed by Brian De Palma.
Hitting theaters this Friday, September 12, is the new Al Pacino/Robert DeNiro action flick, Righteous Kill. To coincide with the release, we here at Geeks of Doom are giving away an Al Pacino-themed prize pack!
