Paul Attanasio, who wrote "Donnie Brasco" and "Quiz Show", has signed on to re-write the script for the "Scarface" film for Universal. The previous script was written by "Training Day" writer/director David Ayer.
This film won't be a remake or sequel to the past two "Scarface" films, but a new re-incarnation with the same back story of an immigrant who becomes a ruthless criminal kingpin.
The film will produced by Marc Shumger and Martin Bregman.
