‘The Departed’ Sequel, and Prequel..

Posted June 26 by Scott in Classics Sequels

MTV talked to Mark Wahlberg recently and he scooped on the status of ‘The Departed’ sequel and a possible prequel.

“We may do another one, because it’s based on a Hong Kong film ['Infernal Affairs'], and there is a trilogy. So we may do a sequel with a new cast, and a prequel and bring back the rest of the guys,” he said. In fact, Wahlberg even talked of a substantial role for Scorsese favorite Robert De Niro.

So, Qui Bono? It’s now more than a year later. Where does the project stand?

“They’re [still] developing it,” Wahlberg sighed. “If it can be better than the first, then great. I’ll be all for it. I’m not interested in going for the paycheck. I love ‘Godfather 2’ but, then again, I don’t like ‘Godfather 3.’”

Beautiful..this first movie was an instant classic, and anything they do with these franchise in the future should be as well.

What are your favorite quotes from the movie? Here are a couple of mine…

“Maybe, Maybe Not, Maybe f$*% yourself.”, “I’m the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy.”…
