Trailer Alert: The Departed

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on July 31, 2006

Here is a film that I can really get excited about. Set to hit theaters in October, Martin Scorsese’s The Departed is a story of two cops who are living two seperate lives and blurring the line between good guy and bad guy. The scariest part is that they are both tied up with the wrong kind of trouble, personified by a mob boss played by the effortlessly superb Jack Nicholson. Ever since Batman I have been waiting for Jack to pick up a role like this, the eccentric and demonic bad guy. Ooooh, it gives me chills. But that is not all, this cast just looks fantastic. Leo DiCaprio and Matt Damon play the two cops, while Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen and Alec Baldwin all have roles. From the look of the trailer, this one looks awesome. If there is anyone who can pull of a great New York cop drama it is Scorsese, and he has assembled one hell of a cast to help him out. Check out the trailer by clicking the picture to the right.
