I would have put Scarface on a list of movies that were untouchable as remakes (even though it was a remake...lol). There are certain films, you simply can't one up, and this is one of them in my opinion. It is a recipe for failure, right out of the gate. In my opinion it isn't Pacino's best work, but the movie as a whole, is just one of those unique, one of a kind sort of films with a life of its own.

It would be on par with trying to remake Airplane! Not in a million bajillion years, could you ever improve on the original.
