Deadline reports that Universal Pictures is eyeing Antoine Fuqua to direct the third big-screen version of Scarface.
Fuqua has found a lot of success lately with The Equalizer and Olympus Has Fallen, with his next film The Magnificent Seven debuting in theaters September 23.
A number of other directors have previously been courted for the film, including Harry Potter director David Yates and No director Pablo Larrain.
The first theatrical Scarface made it to theaters in 1932 from director Howard Hawks and told the story of an Irish immigrant’s rise to power as a gangster in 1920s Chicago.
