Matt Damon has Departed

 Posted by:
Matt Damon will be starring with Leonardo DiCaprio in this police thriller titled "The Departed". Martin Scorsese is set to helm the film and William Monahan has written the screenplay.

Based on the Chinese-linguage Hong Kong gangster film of the same name ("Wu jian dao"), "Infernal" will be reset in Boston amid Irish-American mobsters and the cops who are their nemeses.

Damon would play a gangster who has infiltrated the Boston police department as part of its cadet class and has been steadily rising through the ranks. DiCaprio will play a cop who's been deep undercover inside the mob and is starting to come unglued. Each side works feverishly to flush the mole out, with deadly consequences.

Hmph.. I'm not to exictied about seeing Damon AND DiCaprio on the screen at the same time but it doesn't sound like that bad of a movie. Too bad they didn't keep the Hong Kong gangster feel to the movie though. We have to be drowned with more of this Boston-Irish crap.
