SCARFACE REMAKE CAST
by Joey-53-374601 | created - 19 Mar 2015 | updated - 19 Mar 2015 | PublicNot that I think the movie needs a remake, but since they are given green light with Pablo Larrain helming it, this is the cast I believe could pull off the roles, at least if they chose the characters to 'remain the same' except it is set in modern day Los Angeles. Make this version different and less over the top - make Tony a more sympathetic character and focus less on the legendary one-liners.
1. Oscar Isaac
Actor | Ex Machina
Oscar Isaac was born Óscar Isaac Hernández Estrada in Guatemala, to a Guatemalan mother, María Eugenia, and a Cuban father, Oscar Gonzalo Hernández-Cano, a pulmonologist. Oscar was raised in Miami, Florida. Before he became an actor, he played lead guitar and sang vocals in his band the Blinking ...
TONY MONTANA ('SCARFACE') He's got the look, he's got the charisma and he's a great character performer. Perfect for the new school, modernized reality-grounded version of Tony Montana I'm assuming they're going for.
2. Margot Robbie
Actress | Suicide Squad
Margot Elise Robbie was born on July 2, 1990 in Dalby, Queensland, Australia to Scottish parents. Her mother, Sarie Kessler, is a physiotherapist, and her father, is Doug Robbie. She comes from a family of four children, having two brothers and one sister. She graduated from Somerset College in ...
ELVIRA HANCOCK
Which hot blonde in Hollywood could better pull of a sexy, sinful, drug addicted character who despite her good looks isn't exactly clean. And as we've seen in 'WOLF OF WALL STREET' she's no stranger to playing females in unhealthy relationships with money launderers and crooks.
3. Michael Peña
Actor | American Hustle
Michael Peña was born and raised in Chicago, to Nicolasa, a social worker, and Eleuterio Peña, who worked at a button factory. His parents were originally from Mexico. After graduating from high school, he went to an open casting call for the Peter Bogdanovich feature To Sir, with Love II (1996), ...
MANNY RIBERA He's just got that 'main characters buddy' written all over him. Watch 'Tower Heist" and you'll see.
4. Raymond Cruz
Actor | Alien Resurrection
Raymond Cruz is perhaps best-known for his portrayal of the frighteningly lethal Tuco Salamanca in AMC's critically acclaimed show Breaking Bad (2008), a character he later reprised for the first two episodes of the spin-off Better Call Saul (2015). The role garnered him a Best Performance in a ...
ALEJANDRO SOSA Played Tuco Salamanca, possibly the most underrated badass in the history of television, and while Alejandro Sosa is a much more organised and composed character than Tuco, Cruz is more than capable of playing a boss of a drug cartel and can add the right amount of harshness to the the extremely ruthless man known as Sosa.
5. Danny Trejo
Actor | Machete
Danny Trejo was born Dan Trejo in Echo Park, Los Angeles, to Alice (Rivera) and Dan Trejo, a construction worker. A child drug addict and criminal, Trejo was in and out of jail for 11 years. While serving time in San Quentin, he won the lightweight and welterweight boxing titles. Imprisoned for ...
FRANK LOPEZ A somewhat different take on the character from the '83 version but who says everyone has to remain the same - Danny Trejo got "OG" written all over him and would be perfect for an experienced former drug dealer in the trade, and he can play a real badass too.
6. Eiza González
Actress | Baby Driver
Eiza González Reyna is a Mexican actress and singer. She was born on January 30, 1990 in Mexico City, Mexico, to Carlos González and Glenda Reyna. Her mother is a yesteryear Mexican model. She has one elder brother, Yulen. She lost her father in a motorcycle accident when she was just 12. Later in ...
GINA MONTANA She's got the look, she's got the accent, she's got the character. I'm sure she can pull this one off.
