Universal studios have announced that the planned Scarface remake will have The Equalizer director Antoine Fuqua in the directors chair. Fuqua, who is not a stranger to remakes, having previously brought The Equalizer to the big screen and with a Magnificent Seven remake due out soon, will be working with a new script which is currently going through the final draft with Straight Outta Compton writer, Jonathan Herman.

No news yet on who will be taking on the title role, made famous by Al Pacino in Brian De Palma’s previous remake of the Howard Hawks classic, but whoever lands the gig will certainly have a job on their hands. More news as we get it but for now you can see Antione Fuqua’s next film, The Magnificent Seven from September 23.
