Rihanna eyes role in 'Scarface' remake

Los Angeles - Singer Rihanna is reportedly keen on bagging a role in the remake of 1983 film "Scarface".

The 24-year-old wants to play the role of Elvira Hancock, essayed by actress Michelle Pfeiffer in the original movie.

"Rihanna loves 'Scarface'. Some of her music videos have been based on Michelle's character, Elvira," thesun.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

"She knows all the words and even has her walk perfected," the source added.

The singer made her acting debut with actor Liam Neeson in "Battleship" earlier this year. She will soon be seen in Evan Goldberg's "End Of The World" and is making a debut in voice over with "Happy Smekday!"
