The Departed

I'm all stoked that the newest of Martin Scorsese's babies, set to hit the big screen October 6th, has called in an amazing cast of actors including Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin and Martin Sheen. And although this is not a Scorsese Original, as a huge fan of GoodFellas and Gangs of New York and everything else Scorsese puts his Midas Touch on, I hope this one is as dark and wiseguy as the rest.

The film's predecessor is the 2002 Asian Hit Thriller Internal Affairs. The fact that Scorsese has decided to make a reproduction of Internal Affairs so soon after it's release has made some Asian Film Fans a little unhappy but I wish the film, Scorsese, the cast and crew much luck with this one.
