After 3 Decades, SCARFACE gets a New Remake

Paul Muni as Tony
Camonte, The Scarface
of the original 1932
version

Brian De Palma‘s 1983 movie SCARFACE, which starred Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino in his unforgettable role as the highly influential gangster, was not exactly a good movie. But over the years, it has become this iconic gangster movie that has become embedded in various forms of media (especially in hip-hop culture). That 1983 movie was itself, a remake of the 1932 movie of the same title (which many critics refer to as the better version of the two)

Now, it's going through the remake mill again as Universal is working on bringing back SCARFACE and take the ethnic and geographical aspects of the previous two movies, and then reposition them into a 21st century context. [continue after the jump]

DOCTOR WHO to hit the big screen, Harry Potter director to helm it

DOCTOR WHO to regenerate into the silver screen

Unbeknownst to many, it is actually the longest running sci-fi TV series and the most successful science fiction series of all time, in terms of its overall broadcast ratings, DVD and book sales, iTunes traffic, and "illegal downloads". Many of you may probably think that Star Wars and Star Trek hold that title. Well, it's actually being held by a British TV series that many of you may not be too familiar with: DOCTOR WHO.

DOCTOR WHO is about to be made into a movie, and BBC is eyeing director David Yates to helm its adaptation. Yates has directed the last four Harry Potter movies which were well-made enough to make the entire Harry Potter film series arguably become the most successful film saga since Star Wars.
