IT'S STILL A MOVIE WITH A RELEASE DATE 1ST, DIRECTOR 2ND OR 3RD, 4TH MAYBE
It was announced today that David Ayer has exited the Scarface remake, with Variety and its sister publication Deadline both stating that insiders indicate that Ayer bailed because the tight schedule was not to his liking (didn't have time to make the quality feature he was hoping to). The Hollywood Reporter's sources, meanwhile, indicate that Ayer's take on the script was "too dark." Twitter is having a great time with that one (see image above).
The Scarface remake has a screenplay now said to be by Jon Herman and the Coen brothers. Deadline's Mike Fleming Jr asks, "Why Not Go Back To Antoine Fuqua?" But we all know the question he should be asking: Why not go back to Pablo Larraín?
