The 1983 remake of Scarface, starring Al Pacino, is revered now, but it had a difficult journey to the screen. Plus: a long chat with Robert Eggers.
With Oliver Stone writing the script, Al Pacino starring and Brian De Palma behind the camera, perhaps it’s no wonder that 1983’s Scarface has enjoyed a long success. It was met with no shortage of problems during its production though: an unhappy shoot, a change of location, long overruns and the budget soaring. And then Al Pacino had to go to hospital. It’s quite the film story.
The second half of this episode? Filmmaker Robert Eggers arrives for a long chat about Nosferatu, The Northman, The Witch and more.
