| ScarFace |
It was announced last year that Universal Pictures was
developing a contemporary remake of Scarface and shortly thereafter, Training
Day David Ayer was brought aboard to provide a screenplay. Now Deadline reports
that the project is still moving forward and that Quiz Show writer Paul
Attanasio has signed on to rewrite.
Originally directed for the screen by Howard Hawks in 1932,
the story of a gangster's rise to power was based on the 1929 Armitage Trail
novel of the same name. In 1983, Brian De Palma offered a modernized update of
the story with Al Pacino in the lead, which is the version best known today.
Producers Martin Bregma and Marc Shmuger (the former of
which produced De Palma's version) are working on the new version, which is
expected to borrow elements from both Hawks, and De Palma's takes on the
material.
