The Departed

my fear is that it wil either fail or suceed the source matieral and when people talk about this version the other will go unspoken about. and if is worse than that turn away other who may have wanted to see the other one.

fear....

plus does that mean they will continue the trilogy here? doubt it, but there are great story lines and the second one is my fav for some reason, i guess cause you learn so muh about these characters, plus i like this scene....

Those are interesting points Spidey; but unfortunately we are talking a foriegn flick. Whereas there is a small nmiche market for Asian Cinema, let us be honest:

It aint that big. It's a niche market probably less than that of the zombie fan market.

A film like this is in good hands: Scorsese, Jack, Leo ....

It's gonna be oTay

Yeah, I thought about appending my reply when I thought about Leo...not a fan...
re: DeNiro and Scorsese...has it really been since Casino (1995) that they worked together? :shocked:
 
Dicaprio's got damn good acting chops. I think he's another example of his offscreen, pretty-boy, persona getting in the way of what he can do in front of the camera. Like Tom Cruise.

And yes, would've been great for a Bobby D/Scorsese reunion.
 
i just dont like leo compared to other male actors he could choose from. matt daemon good choice, he's well rounded, leo is mostly the one sided type.
 
I liked the Aviator. Not a fan of gangs though.


It'll Gross over 150 Million.

I hope so. If it does I think that'll make it his most successful film to date.

I think Aviator only pulled in somewhere around 110 million in the States and i believe thats his most commercially successful film to date. Also i believe its his most expensive film to produce with an estimated 116 million dollar budget.

anyone know how much the departed cost? I'm feeling to lazy to look it up.
 
The last movie Marty made that I really liked was Casino. Both Aviator and Kings of New York were watch-able but made no lasting impression on me.
 
last movie i really enjoyed of his was goodfellas. but movis i love of his are taxi driver and raging bull.
 
never seen it. :-o i know i know... i dunno really like those two though but i should check out his work more.

JAW DROPS!!!! (cracking chin painfully on the floor)

You need to take the time to watch that one, spidey. It's a GREAT indie movie.
 
my numbers are arbitrary but my business point is, it costs alot of money to make a film, especially with that kind of personel. A limited release with no marketing will yield little income. Hero made 18M in the first weekend. How much did they spend on purchasing the rights and marketing? I don't know. Probably less than 18M.

But you are guys are right. I'm sure this remake will be entertaining.
