Universal moves with 'Scarface' update

Universal Pictures is going forward with an updated version of their gangster classic "Scarface."
According to Variety, Marc Shmuger and Martin Bregman are producing.
Bregman produced the 1983 version with Al Pacino.
The new version will be neither a remake nor sequel but will borrow elements from the original 1932 Paul Muni version (directed by Howard Hawks and Richard Rosson) and the remade 1983 Al Pacino version (directed by Brian De Palma).
The film's central story, that of an immigrant gangster striving for the American Dream while climbing the ladder of the organized crime world, will remain.
The 1932 version was set in Chicago with prohibition alcohol as a lucrative source of income for gangsters. The 1983 version substituted Miami for Chicago and cocaine for alcohol.
