After really breaking through with Star Wars standalone film Rogue One, Diego Luna looks to have landed another huge role – the lead in Universal’s upcoming Scarface remake.
While Universal may face some backlash for remaking Scarface, the 1983 film was itself a remake.
Scarface: The Shame of the Nation was released in 1932, directed by Howard Hawks and adapted from a 1929 novel of the same name based loosely on the rise and fall of Al Capone.
Boardwalk Empire and The Sopranos’ Terence Winter wrote the most recent draft of the script; the 1983 screenplay was written by Oliver Stone, who saw it as his personal revenge on cocaine.
