Is there anyone out there saying "weeeellll Al Pacino was ok, but we could really do with a better scarface." Cicero would have been a huge boon to the Chicago film industry. I hope he changes his mind.

I'm definitely open to see a David Yates-directed gangster film. People should remember he has a background in British social realism dramas, and is very educated in the Martin Scorsese film school. Also, the basic premise of the two classic "Scarface" films is so archetypical and Shakespearean that I'm not THAT offended, yet. The Howard Hawks and Brian De Palma films both tackled contemporary organized crime of their times (the prohibition and 80s latino cocaine boom in Miami), so there is a tradition to fulfill by exploring the world of the Mexican drug cartels.
