This.
I wasn't against another Scarface, but with Fuqua
I remember watching going "In the original, people said they thought Carlito was Italian, this dude clearly looks Hispanic"
and
"Wait, this movie ended with him getting out the life with a bunch and going to the Caribbean with his girl, wasn't that his goal in the first one
"
CANT be no worse than that bullshyt prequel to Carlitos Way

Huge Fuqua fan but remaking "Scarface" is unnesseary at this point. He's already remaking "Magnificant Seven" which was also a remake ("Seven Samurai"). Also Marty is right, a lot of people don't even know the Al Pacino version is a remake. Even though it was straight to video and suppose to be a prequel, "Carlito's Way: Rise of Power" comes to mind when I hear the news sadly. Just like with all those terrible Arnold Remakes, they definitely don't need to be redoing Legendary roles from Pacino. This isn't about Fuqua or his talent as a director. And I know he can get grimey. But Pacino had De Palma on the lense with Oliver Stone on the Pen. It's not getting topped, let it go. This is about doing another remake.

However flawed you believe the movie as a whole is, Pacino's performance was legendary. There's no one IMO who can duplicate that, Scarface worked because of it was set around Castro throwing out all those criminals
Great original content is at a premium.
Y'all going to watch that movie, at least support a breh and watch his short film.

This just sounds like a really stupid idea to me, like doing another ghostbusters.
It's always gonna draw comparisons to the 80s version and even if it's technically a superior film it will never live up to it because of Pacino.
If they wanna make a modern day crime movie following the story of a gangster on the come up then fine... just don't call it Scarface. And yea I understand that Pacino's was also a remake but that was like 40-50 years removed and nothing from that original movie had nearly the same cultural resonance.
But in this case the shoes are impossible to fill.
