Say Hello to My Little 'Scarface' Blu-Ray!

Universal Home Video has announced the release of Brian De Palma's Scarface on Blu-Ray, September 6, 2011. The disc will come with the usual set of extras, with two notable exceptions. First, there will be an art contest; the top ten images will be featured on "art cards" in the box. Secondly, there will be a specially designed Scarface humidor! Only 1000 will be made, and each one sells for just $999.99 (the Blu-Ray is included).

Here's my capsule review, from 2006:

Painted in exuberant, extravagant swaths of red, Brian De Palma's foolhardy epic is a thing of delirious grandeur; only the combination of De Palma and screenwriter Oliver Stone could have conceived and executed it. Their oversized vision perfectly matches the hubris of lead character Tony Montana (a ferocious Al Pacino), a Cuban gangster who takes Miami by storm with a cloud of testosterone, cocaine and mists of blood. Michelle Pfeiffer plays his object of desire, more possessed than loved, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio plays Tony's sister, and his downfall (he can't stand to see her as a sexual being, attracted to other men). Unbelievably violent and borderline offensive, Scarface has become one of the ultimate "guy" movies as well as a quotable classic among the hip-hop community.
