“The world is yours” this fall. Director Brian De Palma’s classic crime dramaScarfaceis going to war again for its 40th anniversary. Al Pacino’s Tony Montana will rise once more to the position of the powerful drug lord when the film returns to cinemas for a special two-day engagement.
Fathom Events will present screenings ofScarfaceon Sunday, November 12 and Wednesday, November 15. Admission prices and showtimes will vary by location, but those fans who are interested in attending can search for tickets, at theaters in their area, courtesy of theFathom Events website.
Back in 2018, during the film’s 35th anniversary celebration, Pacino reunited with his director and two of his castmates, Steven Bauer and Michelle Pfeiffer, for an illuminating Q&A panel at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. During the sit-down, Pacino and Bower discussed how they both had the luxury of working with one another a couple of months prior to the start of filming — to get to know one other and develop their characters’ unique relationship. And that bonding pays off their tireless work on the screen, as Montana and Manny’s (Bauer) close-knit comradery is tragically cut to shreds near the film’s conclusion. Pacino said to his friend and co-star (viaYouTube):
“You’re always teaching me something.”
