The Departed

Yes it is.

The basic premise of Infernal Affairs is very cool. I personally didn't think the movie translated over to a North American audience that well, thus it's a suitable movie to be redone.(whereas a movie like Oldboy translates well and doesn't need to be redone for a N.A. audience.)

With the cast is boasts and Scorsese at the helm, this film should rock!
 
For shame?

What percent of people have watched more then 3 foreign movies in their life time?

Personally, i don't know a single person.

Tarantino made a career out of ripping off foreign films or films people had forgotten about.

Really that many people in the USA that don't watch foreign movies? :huh:
Personally I think there is no reason to remake a movie that was made only 4 years ago. Infernal Affairs is a great movie and I expect the departed won't come close of being great. And Leo feels like a total miscast.

WTF? why the personal attack?
 
it wasnt a personal attack... its lighthearted fun. it wasnt done to offend you... just a fun way to ask you to use the search function
 
FYI when i typed in the departed your thread was 4 down, maybe you shouldn't have called it martin scorsese's the departed... Especially because it is obviously not his but a rip off.
 
Dude you need to chill.

You made a noob blunder and thus deserve the treatment that all the rest of us get whenever we make noob mistakes.

So lay off ravinesedge.

And maybe you shouldn't call it a rip off since it took the original story and adapted it to a different setting and different characters. Last i checked this has been going on for years and some amazing films have been produced as a result.

and it should be called Martin Scorsese's The Departed because he is Martin Scorsese and deserves some god damn respect.

NOOB
 
Scorsese huh... I don't care if it was Hitchcock. No respect should be given to people who take credit for other peoples ideas and try to sell it as their own. (FYI I don't think Hitchcock would do such a thing.)
P.S. Don't defend a rip off artist. Peace.

Ok I heard a rumor awhile ago about An American ripoff of Infernal Affairs. Is this it, I wonder? The story smells the same, though the title has changed. Watching the trailer that's how I felt. For shame!

What do those of you who have seen Infernal Affairs think?

So let me get this straight:

Nicholson is playing the Richard Gere part...
DiCaprio is taking on the part of Andy Garcia...
Martin Sheen is taking over for William Baldwin...

:huh: WTF?! At this point you lose me...

So Matt Damon...is he Laurie Metcalf or Nancy Travis in this version?

BLAINE, I'm sure I'll see it too... I'm sure his spin will be interesting.
l CallaghanFilms, LOL, The movie is actually InFernal Affairs.
Edit- though Matt Damon would probably be Nancy (boy) Travis

I totally agree with that point.

But i disagree that that's what's going on here.

You haven't seen the movie yet. For all you know its completely different. So before you go on some flaming fanboy rampage calling one of the greatest directors of American Cinema:

a rip off artist

At least wait to see if that's the case, Nooblar.
