He said if I told Al my problems, “it’ll only make things worse - you know Al. Clearly he was worried about my talking to Pacino, whom he knew I was close to creatively. Here’s Oliver Stone, recalling that fateful screening.īregman invited me to see a “rough cut” of Scarface but warned me that I should talk to him first, right afterwards. Stone eventually reunited with Pacino, this time as a director, in the adrenalized but surprisingly affectionate Any Given Sunday, another Miami-set tale of machismo, greed, and desperation. And soon after he made another Al Capone-indebted gangster epic (one that got more initial respect than Scarface ), The Untouchables. De Palma’s next film after Scarface was Body Double, another very ’80s, freakishly watchable film that wasn’t an immediate success but has earned a ravenous cult following.
