The DepartedThe movie modeled on one of my all-time favourite H.K. flicks (Infernal Affairs) is apparently now going to get a sequel. The Departed, which managed to gross an impressive $122m in the US alone, is going to receive a follow-up which William Monahan is scheduled to pen and will apparently involve the return of Mark Wahlberg’s character and the introduction of a new mob boss which is supposedly being specifically written for Robert De Niro, who couldn’t be in the first movie due to directorial obligations to The Good Shepherd. I guess if this goes well, Warner Bros. will adapt the third Infernal Affairs movie too, fingers crossed then?
