Bregman replaced him with Brian De Palma, and hired writer Oliver Stone Stone had seen the original 1932 Scarface and had not enjoyed it, so he initially rejected the offer. Lumet had wanted to make a more political story that focused on blaming the current Presidential administration for the influx of cocaine into the United States, yet Bregman disagreed. Bregman and Lumet's creative differences saw Lumet drop out of the project. Sidney Lumet became attached as the director, developing the idea for Montana to be Cuban arriving in America during the Mariel boatlift. Pacino originally wanted to retain the period piece aspect, but realized that because of its melodramatic nature it would be difficult to accomplish. He later called his manager, producer Martin Bregman, and informed him of his belief in the potential for a remake of that film.

We'd had dozens of these things. There's a prohibition against drugs that's created the same criminal class as (prohibition of alcohol) created the Mafia.' In the book The Oliver Stone Experience, Stone stated, 'I didn't want to do an Italian Mafia movie.
