Rihanna eyes Elvira Hancock role in Scarface remake

Word around town is that bad gyal Rihanna wants to take it up a notch with another bad girl role!

The ‘Where Have You Been’ singer supposedly wants to play the role of Elvira Hancock in the ‘Scarface’ remake.

A source told The Sun, “Rihanna loves ‘Scarface.’ Some of her music videos have been based on Michelle Pfeiffer’s character, Elvira. She knows all the words and even has her walk perfected.”

RiRi supposedly wants to play Elvira Hancock because the blond movie bombshell had “ridiculous swagger.”

‘Scarface’ became an instant classic when it premiered in 1983, but many film buffs don’t realize that Pacino’s career-defining role was itself a remake of a 1932 flick.

This won’t be Rihanna’s first cinematic gig. The Bajan beauty played Navy weapons officer Cora Raikes in ‘Battleship,’ is also slated to star in the animated film ‘Happy Smekday!’, will herself in Seth Rogen’s ‘The End of the World’ and has appeared on several SNL skits!
