My prediction is that it wont be any good. Its all just for money.

Even if they did have a Scarface on network TV, would it be any good with the censor boards? I mean Cmon, can you imagine The Sopranos on USA or Fox..The only crime show that can get away with being "real" on TV is The Shield..which is an excellent show.

All TV shows are based on money. A lot of TV shows are based on the writers artistic vision, and they just want other people to watch it. Of course they want to make money from it, becuase its their job. If Scarface were made into a TV series, it wouldnt be becuase it was someones good idea, it would be because a TV company commisioned a writer to make a shoot-em-up Scarface TV series. And I just dont think that THAT will do the film justice.

The latest news : "Scarface" Returns Posted: Thurs. March 11th, 2004 Author: Garth Franklin Source: USA Today, The Hollywood Reporter The Al Pacino film classic "Scarface" is about to be reinvented for the 21st century according to The Hollywood Reporter. The USA Network is developing an updated four hour mini-series version that restages the gangster classic with a black cast in inner-city Los Angeles during the crack epidemic of the 1980s. Production could begin as early as this Fall for a 2005 debut and "The Shield" Producer Charles "Chic" Eglee is developing the project. Rather than a direct remake with a simple setting change, they are "creating a new cast loosely based on most of the primary characters instead of literally revisiting them". But surely I'm not expecting much. I'd rather have seen Dejohn's novel used instead.

Originally posted by Irishman12: Well at least this new series won't defame the legecy of the 1983 version of Scarface. How are the characters going to be "loosely based?" Well, since they've done Italians, Cubans, and now African-Americans, I've got my fingers crossed for an Irish remake in my life time. Who knows, maybe I'll direct it! Pretty soon, they will also have a Native American edition (peace pipes instead of crack), Swahili (wild mushrooms), and finally, Asian (opium). The British version will just feature four guys with funny haircuts and can sing really good, but will use LSD, and won't be involving drug dealing, rather this "Fab Four" will struggle to stay together as a band, and tour the world

We should make a poll on wether this would be better or worse then a scarace II starring cuban link.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

I don't know why you're all hating on this so much. First off, you haven't even seen it yet. Secondly, most of you probably won't watch it and you'll still blast it. The audience obviously was demanding a show like this or it wouldn't be going down. -Pat

The Tv version is VERY different from the film. E.G at the beginning the cop askin Tony how he got his scar "How you get the beuty scar tough guy eating pussy?" "how am i gonna get a scar like that eating pussy?"Film Programme "how you get the beuty scar tough guy eating pineapple?" "how am i gonna get a scar like that eating pineapple?" there is lots of diffrecens like this. there is a couple in the scene with hector like when he shoots him and the chainsaw.

Also the Tv show of scarface has all the same people. They just do voice overs.
