A reboot of the gangster classic Scarface is set to be directed by Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino.  Deadline reports that Guadagnino - who was nominated for a Best Director Oscar for Call Me By Your Name - has been picked by Universal Pictures to helm the project. 

However, there is no official word yet on while be playing the role of Tony Montana in the 1983 movie starring Al Pacino, which is itself a remake itself of the original 1932 film produced by Howard Hughes. That 1932 version sees Italian immigrant Antonio "Tony" Camonte (Paul Muni) taking over as the crime boss for the City's Sout Side.
