Scarface
December 2008 marks the 25th anniversary of the release of one of the seminal film classics of the last three Brian De Palma’s epic gangster movie Scarface . Taking the 1932 Howard Hawks classic and updating it to the gaudy and atmospheric Miami of the early 1980s, the film—starring Al Pacino, Steven Bauer, and Michelle Pfeiffer, with a screenplay by Oliver Stone—charts the rise and fall of Cuban drug lord Antonio “Tony” Montana. 25th Anniversary , the first illustrated volume on this cult classic, features the definitive collection of writings and essays on the gangster film genre, artwork and images from Scarface , as well as archival material including previously unseen on-set images, a reproduction of the original script, and new in-depth interviews with the key participants, including Brian De Palma, Oliver Stone, producer Martin Bregman, and composer Giorgio Moroder.
