Good point. I was referring to Pacino though, his movie was same themes, but modernized, and ethnicity changed. Very different script too, the trip out of country, the killings, the torture scene. Pacino made it respectable. He is also such a great, as was Muni, but each made their Scarface what it was.
No Al Pacino movie should ever be remade. At least not his great ones. I think no one would wish for Serpico remake with Colin Farrell, or Scent of a Woman with Harrison Ford. Pacino made Scarface the movie it is.
But don't you see the irony of your post? Pacino's "Scarface"
was a remake. And some would argue that Paul Muni's "Scarface" was superior (although I'm not one of those people).
That being said, I agree that this story doesn't need to be retold for a third time. It's time for Hollywood to get original.
