SCARFACE'S BLU-RAY RELEASE
"Scarface," directed by Brian de Palma and written by Oliver Stone, tells the story about the legend of Cuban drug trafficker, Tony Montana played by Pacino, who shot his way to the top of Miami's drug underworld, only to be consumed by the greed of his own ambition.
Nearly 30 years after its box office release, the movie is still not getting old.
"I am surprised, by after these many years you sort of get used to it,"
"You expect when you are picking up your kids from school and your son's 8-year-old's friends are saying, 'Hey, say hello to my little friend.' You say, 'Wow! You are not allowed to see that picture.' But, you grow used to it."
Even though the "rags to riches" film received mixed reviews and opposition by Cuban community for linking them with drugs and gangsters, it has since grown to become a pop culture classic.
"The first few years I thought what is this and why is this happening." "But, then there has been a lot of speculation about it and there is this book 'Scarface Nation' - where a guy talks a whole book about it. Then there are the rappers and Hip-Hop people who have really embraced the movie. There is a video where they really articulate what it is. So, you say that it has an afterlife."
Actor Steven Bauer, who played Tony Montana's loyal friend Manny Ribera, remembers how the filming always seemed to be pushing the limits.
"These are really, really wild scenes. One after another, after another, after another and that is what the movie has. Every scene has this commitment to this wildlife. We went all the way and now it holds up."
"Scarface" will be available on Blu-Ray September 6th, and fans can also get bonus features, deleted scenes and commentary on the history of the movie.
