Universal Pictures is pushing ahead with its plans for a new remake of Scarface, with The Hollywood Reporter revealing that Straight Outta Compton screenwriter Jonathan Herman has signed on to pen a new draft of the script.
The new film is set to blend elements of the original 1932 version alongside the 1983 remake, and will explore an immigrant’s rise in the criminal underworld in present day Los Angeles. Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larrain (No, Tony Manero) is set to direct, while both Paul Attanasio (Donnie Brasco) and David Ayer (Fury) have previously contributed to the script.
