Luca Guadagnino is no longer directing the new Scarface.
When most movie fans think of Scarface, it's the 1983 adaptation from Brian De Palma and Oliver Stone starring Al Pacino that comes to mind. However, that wasn't the first gangster movie of that name. The original Scarface was a 1932 American pre-code gangster film directed by Howard Hawks, and both versions were loosely based on Armitage Trail's 1929 novel, which was inspired by Al Capone.
"People claim that I do only remakes but the truth of the matter is cinema has been remaking itself throughout its existence. It's not because it's a lazy way of not being able to find original stories. It's always about looking at what certain stories say about our times," Guadagnino explained to Variety back in 2020."The first Scarface from Howard Hawkes was all about the prohibition era.
