It’s not like the Coen Brothers are exactly shrinking violets when it comes to violence.
Scarface of course originated in 1932 with Howard Hawks’ version starring Paul Muni as the titular, Tommy-Gun-toting thug.
The 1983 Scarface was of course a very different film than the 1932 version.
Besides the Coen Brothers, numerous writers have been attached to the movie over the years, including Suicide Squad‘s David Ayer and Wolf of Wall Street‘s Terence Winter.
