For a long time, the FBI has stood as the admirable symbol of a police agency of government, implacably going after the bad guys and neutrally enforcing the laws.

Well, forget about the Untouchables. Today’s FBI has quite obviously been corrupted from the top. This is a process that seems to have begun under President Barack Obama, endured during the President Donald Trump years, and has now reached its unfortunate nadir under President Joe Biden. It’s time for conservatives and Republicans to start thinking about getting rid of the FBI.
Scarface and the Untouchable series in development at Showtime
Al Capone and Elliot Ness will once again battle as Deadline reports that Showtime is developing
Scarface and the Untouchable, a series lawman Ness’ crusade to bring down infamous gangster Capone in Prohibition-era Chicago. The series comes from producer Alex Kurtzman (
Star Trek: Picard) and writer Ben Jacoby (
Newsflash).
Scarface and the Untouchable will be based on
Scarface and the Untouchable: Al Capone, Eliot Ness and the Battle for Chicago, a 2018 nonfiction book from Max Allen Collins and A. Brad Schwartz which chronicled the lives of Capone and Ness, which was named Best Book of the Year by the Chicago Public Library. The synopsis for the book drew on “decades of primary source research including the personal papers of Ness and his associates, newly released federal files, and long-forgotten crime magazines containing interviews with the gangsters and G-men themselves.”

The story of Al Capone and Eliot Ness will be dramatized yet again, this time for the Showtime series
Scarface and the Untouchable. The series is based on the non-fiction book by Max Allen Collins and A. Brad Schwartz, and “chronicles the lives of gangster Al Capone and his lawman nemesis, Eliot Ness in Prohibition-era Chicago.” The tale of Capone and Ness has been told before in multiple forms of media, including the
Untouchables TV series which in turn inspired Brian De Palma’s stylish, very entertaining, and highly fictionalized film
The Untouchables, starring Robert De Niro as Capone and Kevin Costner as Ness.
