LOS ANGELES - The 1983 crime drama “Scarface,” directed by Brian De Palma and starring Al Pacino, will return to the big screen in 10 cities later this month to mark the violent film’s 20th anniversary and help promote the release of a two-disk DVD set.
The film features Pacino as the ambitious, foul-mouthed Cuban immigrant Tony Montana, who builds a drug empire in Miami.
The film has been restored and features a new digital soundtrack.
“Scarface” will open for a limited engagement in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Detroit, Dallas, Miami and San Francisco on Sept. 19.
The DVD, which will be released Sept. 30, will include new bonus features, including a 20-minute documentary about the film’s influence on hip-hop culture and music, featuring P. Diddy, Snoop Dog and the rapper Scarface.
