I gotta say, I think if you remade scarface it would TANK big time. It would be nearly impossible to improve on the original.
I disagree. If it was made poorly, than yeah. But if you got together some of the original cast and a kick ass director and used top of the line lenses made by panavision the way they're meant to be used. You'd have a hit for sure

can't forget top of the line lenses made by panavision
Scarface is already a remake. The original Scarface was made in 1932 starring Paul Muni.
Beat me to it,
Although pacino admits he had the worst Cuban accent ever.
The acting was pretty bad IMO
Did it even do well in the box office? So technically it would probably do better than pacino's first scarface
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

It did really well in the box office. However, they really tried to down-play it's real success because it influenced a lot of people in a really bad way.
They can't ever remake this - there are some movies even Hollywood wouldn't dare try to redo. I mean is there any reasonably young actor that would even have a chance of living up to Pacino's Tony Montana? No way.
btw, they did try to make a copy-cat "remake" in New Jack City which was plain awful.
Some movies (like godfather too) are just good as they are...

Two: No single lens or camera makes a story better.
Three: What's the point? There are tons of hood-rises up-crashes and burns movies. Been there done that and rented the video.

True, but holywood dosent remake movies that were a flop, or "broken" they remake hits hoping that they can use the first versions success or popularity to make money the second time around.

On a Pacino note, I can never watch Carlito's Way and NOT want him so badly to make it onto the train at the end. Like every time I watch it, I have this anxiety in my stomach about how bad I want him to get away lol. Anyone else? Or am I just wierd?

it's not really a remake...different characters and different plot...they used the title (most of it) and the premise from the original, but that's about it...

It actually didnt do well its more of a cult classic, its a remake of the paul muni movie scarface. Its fun to watch greatest movie thats a stretch.Its not Citizen Kane lol
there is no fucking way they can re-make SCARFACE...
the movie is great on its own... and what the fuck is wrong with producers and writers and directors these days... remakes generally suck ass compared to the originals.. who wants to see the same movie twice anyways.. like really fuck. who the hell are they going to cast for the role.. John Leguizamo?.. if they did, it would suck even more.
This really pisses me off.
i hate fucking remakes, fuckin writers should get off their lazy asses and write something original for once. i swear ever since the millenium (even a bit before) shit is getting STALE.

Remake Scarface? No way! I am getting so tired of all the remakes going through Hollywood, like they ran out of original ideas, or decided to stop paying for new scripts.
Recent remakes:
King Kong (no complaints there)
Assault on Precinct 13
The Phantom of the Opera
Guess Who (Look Who's Coming to Dinner)
The Honeymooners
The Amityville Horror
House of Wax
the Longest Yard
Fun with Dick & Jane
Bewitched
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Dukes of Hazzard
Oliver Twist
the Fog (never should have been redone)
The Poseidon Adventure
the Shaggy Dog
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (remake of Prizzi's Honor)
The Italian Job
Some movies (like godfather too) are just good as they are...
Imagine a Godfather remake with today's actors?
I'd imagine Hollywood would go something like this:
Don/Vito Corleone = James Gandolfini
Michael Corleone = Keanu Reeves
Sonny Corleone = Brad Pitt
Tom Hagen = Bruce Willis
Fredo = Michael Imperioli (from Sopranos)
Tessio = Michael Richards (aka Kramer)
Clemenza = Frank Vincent (from Sopranos/Casino)
Kay = Jessica Simpson or Tara Reid
Connie = Katie Holmes
McCluskey (The Cop) = Sean Connery
Remake Scarface? No way! I am getting so tired of all the remakes going through Hollywood, like they ran out of original ideas, or decided to stop paying for new scripts.

I agree on the remake phenomenon ... Hollywood is getting lazier every year and just looking to make a quick, easy buck instead of making good movies ..
btw, I thought Mr & Mrs. was a very loose remake of Hitchcock's Mr & Mrs. Smith - or did it just borrow the name? I know Prizzi's had a similar storyline and was a much better film!
