Hi all
I have a chance of getting the new version of scarface very cheap.
I have the orginal Universal release, but are there any difference on the 'extras'?
I'm not usually a fan of extras, but this particular disc & documentary is 1 I have watched several times.
Having just had Jaws re-released with some extras, but also some parts missing, is Scarface another such victim?
All help will be apprecaited.
regards
andy b

The "new" (last year?) version of SCARFACE has a MUCH, MUCH better transfer and soundtrack than the previous DVD -- 16:9 and 5.1 too. Worth it alone on that end. It also has all the extras from the laserdisc (documentary, deleted scenes) and a bunch of rappers riffing on their hip-hop influencing genre favorite.

Yeah that's been in production...apparently there were several books written about the character, and I guess the movie performed well on video/DVD enough that they'd produce it. It IS a made-for-video project, however:Q-BanditZ wrote:Slightly related... why am I seeing a Carlito's Way prequel in production? WHY?!?!

THE UNTOUCHABLES also is/was supposed to have a prequel shooting -- albeit a theatrical one, with Brian DePalma directing! It's supposed to chart the rise of Al Capone and use a young version of Sean Connery's character.
