Scarface: What if!

Imagine Scarface in today's era. 

Seriously, imagine it. Imagine a modern Tony Montana, same scar on his face but a completely different actor... maybe Johnny Depp. A mastermind, wanting to have it all. The money, the power, the women. I don't know if Cocaine being the drug of choice would work in a modern era however, but it could quite possibly work. Definitely would need to remain landscaped in America but so much would have to change! And then his friend Manny, he could be... Bradley Cooper. An almost adviser to Tony, helping him formulate plans to gain power and prestige. Oh and we can't forget Frank, the initial drug lord who hires Tony in Scarface. Frank.. you know who would make the best Frank.. Clint Eastwood. His acting skills and amazing ability to manipulate a character who clearly doesn't care what others think.
 
Okay so actors set out, plus a couple of extras... let's saying the gorgeous Elvira is played by Penelope Cruz- rather than be Franks woman, she is his daughter and still classified as the forbidden fruit. As the story progresses, following the storyline of Scarface several things would differ which would indicate a clear modern remake. Payphones would hardly be used, everything would be done on a smartphone. Technology would yield one of the major differences, along with changes in the lifestyle of people today. Plus buying a nice new sports car won't cost you 40k, more like 400k. 

I don't know if a remake of this movie could be possible without taking making it a complete joke. Smartphones everywhere, people texting each other and the amount of cyber bullying that could occur.
