Diego Luna To Star In Scarface Remake

Rogue Ones Diego Luna will star in the upcoming Scarface remake, which previously had Antoine Fuqua attached to direct, the filmmaker has departed the project. From what we understand, Sony and Denzel Washington are eager to get The Equalizer 2 off the ground and unfortunately, Fuqua won’t have time for Universal’s film anymore, which is certainly a shame.

This shouldn’t cause too much trouble, though, as the studio is already looking for a replacement and is expected to find one quickly, meaning that production won’t be delayed. Furthermore, Terence Winter’s script will still remain intact, and Marc Shmuger, Scott Stuber and Dylan Clark are all on board in producing roles.

Fuqua’s departure here is certainly disappointing to learn about, as he would’ve brought a much needed sense of gritty realism to the project which could have helped elevate the film into something quite special. After all, we’ve seen so many remakes of 80’s classics completely flop and with a property as beloved as Scarface, whoever ends up getting behind the camera will need to make sure that both the 1932 and 1983 versions are done justice. That won’t be that easy, but at least Luna is a capable enough actor that he should have no problem carrying the movie.
