Scarface Reboot | dir. Luca Guadagnino | Written by Coen brothers

[Guccishades]

My favorite part of the movie

Great speech

 

[Guccishades]

Godfather is wild overrated. Ish put me to sleep sleep

Marlon Brando never overrated

 

[Master Zik]

Even Godfather 3 is better than Scarface.

Godfather is wild overrated. Ish put me to sleep sleep

Yikes. Another one.

It was just like Denzel acting in Training Day - nobody could see him playing a “bad guy”. He won an oscar. Which by the way was bs because he should have won for X.

I see the comparison but for me its more than that.

I already saw MBJ play a bad guy. Did it real well. I have no problem believing he can do that.

It's the character of Tony. Dude has anger issues, quick to use violence, clever but takes risks that are basically reckless. Most times gives no ****s.

Not sure MBJ can completely embody that.




Happy if he proves me wrong though.

Leave that **** alone. Too many remakes. Movie is a classic. The quotes, the music/production, bad acting, ..etc

 

[leavemeglazzies]

Unpopular opinion, but that movie sucked. Al Pacino made the film.

I wouldn't say it sucked, but it's definitely not on the level of the Godfathers, Goodfellas and Casino.

The other De Palma-Pacino collaboration, Carlito's Way, was much better than Scarface. I don't see why people find Tony Montana appealing. Carlito Brigante on the other hand, real tears were shed at the end of the movie.

Never watched scarface.

Godfather 3 was weird. Why was michael corleone ok with his daughter getting some incest action from her cousin?

lotta people think this. Movie was considered a trash remake and a flop when it came out.

 

[ksteezy]

You know the folks still gon be tight if they make the main character a black man

Cubans ARE black tho, least a big majority are Afro-Latino...

Over the course of history, white ppl for some reason have at times been down with that.

 

[Nike Jordan]

The best parts about Scarface (1983) was Al Pacino hamming it up for 2:45 and the Giorgio Moroder soundtrack. Everything else is forgettable.

Also, I wish people stop calling every remake a "reboot". That **** is irritating.

There's nothing wrong with calling it a remake, that's what it is.

 

[Nike Jordan]

If you get by his horrendous Cuban accent, it's enjoyable

As a former Florida resident, Pacino's Cuban accent is about 70% accurate.

 

[Nike Jordan]

- Scarface is garbage
- Pacino is trash in it
- Could have got an actual Latino to star in the movie, not a ****in white guy

Brian De Palma kinda made up for having an Italian-American play a Cuban immigrant in Scarface by having Andy Garcia (Cuban immigrant) play an Italian-American in The Untouchables, which coincidentally is about Al Capone, the real Scarface.

 

[macbk]

Scarface is a classic for sure, but I don't love it like a lot of people do.
I don't think it needs a reboot either, but I'm not opposed to seeing how it may turn out.

 

[Guccishades]

This thread reminding me I need to watch the masterpiece Scarface again.

 

[kickvicisous]

I doubt I like this as much as the Pacino one but I do hope it kind of inspires a trend of new crime and gangster films. Even though I'm sure social media getting dudes hemmed up in the end will be a common theme

 

[Bert.]

sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen

 

[Magic33]

Not necessary

I was thinking the other week if they would ever do a Star Wars - Return Of The Jedi remake

That makes more sense now with technology than this.

 

[americangenius]

So many memorable quotes/lines in this great movie. Do I see Michael B Jordan as a Cuban in $550 suits buggin out and getting money like Al Pacino?? Nah he’s a good actor but not in his repertoire

The movie is set in LA, maybe it will be a modern setting if anything.

 

[Guccishades]

Then call it something else, it ain’t scarface.

 

[gentrification]

I love scarface

 

[Master Zik]

Also just kinda keep in mind, this was the 80s. Hollywood was not about accurate casting based on ethnicity. They weren't gonna find a Cuban actor or even any Hispanic actor.

Al Pacino was on the rise back then. Fit De Plama's vision.

 

[Master Zik]

Then call it something else, it ain’t scarface.

What are you talking about? The original Scarface was set in Chicago.

The story is one loosely based on Al Capone.

They already have, it's called The Force Awakens
