Luca Guadagnino to direct the 'Scarface' reboot - Who will play the next Tony Montana?

It's official: Luca Guadagnino will direct a Scarface reboot. Produced by Universal Pictures, the movie will be a reimagining of 1983 classic by Brian DePalma (starring Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer), and it will always be set in Los Angeles. Joel & Ethan Coen (The Big Lebowsky, Fargo, No Country for Old Men and many great cults), among the most celebrated authors of their generation, wrote the final version of the script.

The Italian director follows Howard Hawks (Scarface, 1932) and DePalma in one of the most important traditions in cinema: the first two Scarface made history. That's a great result for Guadagnino who, following the success of Call Me By Your Name, today might be the most famous Italian director in all the world. His success speaks for itself about the slowness of Italian cinema in understanding its talents: at his directorial debut, Italian critic dismissed him as a young, ambitious dreamer with no talent and no future.
