I gotta unfollow this thread... The amount of ignorance is astounding!
There are rumors claiming that all time classic Scarface will be remade and will have Michael B Jordan as protagonist.
Not only did they not respect the "if it ain't broken, don't fix it-rule", they chose a black person to play cuban refugee Tony Montana... It could be me but it seems like another case of SJW pandering.
What are your opinions on this fellow gaffers?
I'm not sure how a black actor paying a "cuban refugee" is contradicting. Nearly 40% of cuban population is either black or half black.

Don't realy think this movie needs another remake, but...
Lol, were you mad that Al Pacino was cast to play a Cuban?
The LE 4k version comes with the original on BD

what makes shit movies is trying to recatch lighting in a bottle by remaking great movies without any of the spark and inspiration that made them great, but just for a quick cashgrab based on brand/title recognition.
what gender swapping and race swapping usually does is just give free pubblicity by people that get outraged by it (but will go see the movie anyway) and open the market

Who are "those degenerates"?
That's this site in a nutshell for the most part when anything involving "race".

Hollywood. They are the degenerates. Who do you think I was referring to?

The problem I have with this is Hollywood's focus tested bullshit of lazily milking an established franchise name to sell a movie.
Scarface will always be associated with Pacino's iconic performance, A product of the 80's and it's magic of it's era. If you wanted to make a gangsta film with Jordan that's completley fine. But trying to piggyback off an iconic movie namebto give it credibility is just low effort and insulting.
