Johnny Depp
Why he'd be good: He can do anything by now, and audiences might like to see him sans pirate accessories.
Why not: Is it too similar to "Blow," in which Depp played real-life drug kingpin George Jung? Depp also played John Dillinger in Michael Mann's recent "Public Enemies."

September 30, 2011 at 4:57AM EST Reply to CommentWithout question: I should play the next Scarface. I even have a scar on my face. LOL Actually true. I was doing some body work on a car and the grinder got bound up in the fender well. It jerked out of my hand, ran up the fender and instantly ripped my face open. My girlfriend at the time said; 'Dang! You were hot before, but now you look meaner and hotter than ever. By the way ladies; 'this is the right answer'.
Back to the 'me' being perfect for this part, I would be perfect for any part. I am a great actor. Almost as good as I am 'a writer'. ;-) I always imagine that the screen is simply 'the world's mirror' and as long as you can clearly reflect the world back to itself, then you 'as an actor' have done your job.
james Humble too.

October 1, 2011 at 3:59AM EST Reply to CommentUm... No one. "Holywood" should learn to turn out something original instead of remaking, franchising, and rebooting established franchises. Tough to think of a movie that needs a remake less than Scarface.

dominic Benicio del Toro would kill it. But I would accept Bardem as well, anyone else and the movie will be a failure, in my opinion.

October 4, 2011 at 6:35PM EST Reply to CommentOh yeah sounds like a great idea considering all the acting talent out there... No one will turn in a performance worthy of replacing Al Pacino. This movie is defined through a single actor who is arguably the greatest of all time, lets not destroy a classic.

October 6, 2011 at 6:52AM EST Reply to CommentI agree Tiddly, Ryan Seacrest would be awesome. I hear he has been looking for a role such as this to expand his talents. And if the movie is PG-13 it would kill at the box office.
