From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 4pm Saturday in NZ, 2pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies: Scarface from 1983, and The Three Musketeers from 2004.
Scarface is a 1983 American crime drama film directed by Brian De Palma and written by Oliver Stone.
Loosely based on the 1929 novel of the same name and serving as a loose remake of the 1932 film, it tells the story of Cuban refugee Tony Montana (Al Pacino), who arrives penniless in Miami during the Mariel boatlift and becomes a powerful and extremely homicidal drug lord.
The film co-stars Steven Bauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Robert Loggia.
De Palma dedicated this version of Scarface to the memories of Howard Hawks and Ben Hecht, the writers of the original film.
Pacino became interested in a remake of the 1932 version after seeing it, and he and producer Martin Bregman began to develop it.
Sidney Lumet was initially hired to direct the film but was replaced by De Palma, who hired Stone to write the script.
Filming took place from November 1982 to May 1983, in Los Angeles and Miami.
The film's soundtrack was composed by Giorgio Moroder.
Scarface premiered in New York City on 1 December 1983, and was released on 9 December by Universal Pictures.
The film grossed $45 million at the domestic box office and $66 million worldwide.
Initial critical reception was negative due to its excessive violence, profanity, and graphic drug usage.
Some Cuban expatriates in Miami objected to the film's portrayal of Cubans as criminals and drug traffickers.
In the years that followed, critics have reappraised it, and it is now considered one of the greatest gangster films ever made.
Screenwriters and directors such as Martin Scorsese have praised the film, and it has been referenced extensively in pop culture, especially in hip hop music, as well as comic books, television programs, and video games.
The film has come to be regarded as a cult classic.
