Heya Guys, Well I'm new the the forum so be gently,lol wtf sorry, just breaking the ice. Alright I have a question for you guys. Who would you want to play the following roles if they made a new version of Scarface, I know it would suck, But say the movie was never made in 1983 and they were making it now. You've read the script so who would you cast. The only person that I can think of right now is a small time rapper named T-bone. He kinda looks like a Cuban drug lord lol but he would have to lose some wieght. Thats why i think Cuban Link would be so bad at the job cause he's a little chubby, who do u think could play, Elivra? Gina? Manny? Anyone else?

-Thanks for ur time

I'll be the first one to tell you only a few people on this board support rappers who like mob and gangster movies. You're off to a bad start. I'll back you up. Welcome to the boards. -Pat

Hmmmm...
Someone said John Leguizamo in another thread and I think that would work cuz he could easily play a Cuban but, I wonder how his acting would be. He doesn't seem to be comfortable in a serious acting role. As far as the rest of the cast goes... I can't really imagine anyone worthy of a role in that movie other then the originals.
Welcome to the boards.

i think i dont put a rapper in tony´s role, because i think scarface is not a gansta movie is diferent is a ganster movie and need a actor can play no only a badass of the block , have to be more intelligent and organized too, for built his drug empire and have strong conection , and not act like a street drug dealer the mostly of the time , well is my personal opinion guys and respect others too, ciao

angie.

On second thought I deffinetly agree with Tonyistheking John Leguizamo would be a perfect Tony Montana, is he cuban. I know this is gonna get a lot of negative remarks but I think that Charlize Theron the girl in the movie Monster would be a pretty good Elivra... what do you guys think?

-Tony

Charlize Theron is the hottest woman alive...Sounds good to me. -Pat

Sorry, TS

I don't believe that a rapper would play any good part in a movie like this. The only two rappers that are good at acting are Ice Cube and Will Smith. There is supposedly a sequel coming soon and it hsould not have any rap related people at all, IMO. I really don't think rappers have any talent, even singing, because they don't sing, they just speak fast with a beat, and they have no musical/instrumental talent.

i agree with u man , the only rappers who actually act are ice cube and will smith, but i think this role need a more serius actor if u want a cub actor maybe andy garcia , but i still thinking in the original cast was the better and the only one.

John Leguizamo is Columbian I think. I was gunna say Charlize too but forgot it in my post.

Awesome, I'm trying to think of somebody who could play Manny and Gina. This might be okay but Gina could be played by Nelly Fertado (don't know how to spell her last name" i think she could maybe play Gina, I'm looking 'roun to see who could play Manny

No no no! I don't think she can act!

jon Leguizamo is purto rican

I'm going to go ahead & tell you that my answer is biased, but I would have LOVED to just see how Robert De Niro would have done with the Tony Montana character. I don't think he would have been as good as Al, but he (De Niro) did a great job in Cape Fear with that whole southern accent/ex-con character, so it'd be fun to see what he could do with Tony. I also would love to see Martin Scorsese direct it (in the special features of Scarface they said Marty & De Niro almost made Scarface before Pacino & De Palma did). And for Elvira I would love to see Britney Spears, and Manny John L.

No, he's half purto rican half colombian
Birthdate: July 22, 1964
Birthplace: Bogota, Colombia
Father: Alberto Leguizamo, realtor, waiter; Puerto Rican immigrant; divorced from Leguizamo's mother 1978
Mother: Luz Leguizamo; Colombian immigrant
Those are the E Online facts!
i thought he was only Colombian but I was wrong

Charlize Theron... perfect Elvira

Alright Gangster BB's version of scraface cast so far....

Tony Montana- John Leguizamo
Elivra Hancock- Chairlze Theron
Manny- ???
Gina- ???
Fran- ???
Sosa- ???

Who could play Manny, Gina, Frank and Sosa?

old cast

yeah, i prefer that cast for the sequel, that´s the reason i don´t like to much the idea of make a scarface sequel , because, nothing be the same without the original cast.
angie.

new cast so far

[img]http://us.ent4.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/columbia_pictures/once_upon_[/img]

Danny Trejo,maybe a possible Frank but his face looks almost scared and old so tell me what u think, Frank or no Frank , of course his hair would have to be cut.

The piccy that didn't work

that picture is big

Manny would be the perfect Sosa! (He's sexy! )
But, that would ruin it for me, it'd be like a conflict of intrests or something. And that guy is too scarred Why is it so hard to find people to cast?

yeah casting for a film usually takes months of pre-production as everyone has to have confidence that the actors can handle the role.

Its so hard to even think about re-casting for such a great movie becuase, in the original all of the actors were the perfect choices for the rolls. Nobody will ever be able to replace them.

Nestor Serrano for Omar, what do you think?

Wow, he looks exactly like Omar, yep add him lol

I just don't understand why you guys think they have to look like the old characters. A remake doesn't have to follow the same story. The 1932 "Prohibition Version" was changed to the 1983 "Cocaine Version." -Pat

I think that a remake (or at least the one that we're casting for ) should have actors that fit the part.
