According to Mark
Wahlberg in an interview with Empire Online, a script for a sequel to
The Departed is currently being written and Robert De
Niro is in talks to join the cast.
"They told me they wanted to try to do it and I said, 'Well, I enjoyed playing the character'." said Mark
Wahlberg.
"They're talking about bringing in De
Niro to play a senator or a congressman," added
Wahlberg. "You know, the corruption obviously going deeper and higher up the ranks — reaching up the political chain. So it'll be fun. And if it's a success, they're gonna do a prequel and bring everyone back... make it a trilogy."
William
Monahan is currently working on the script for the sequel. Shooting is tentatively scheduled for the end of this year or the begging of next year.
KJ's Take: I hated this idea when I first heard about it, but the more I think about it, the more it COULD be decent. I'm just not sure about this quite yet, just not sure.
