Many Anticipate The Departed's Sequel

Many Anticipate The Departed's Sequel

By:


In 2007, after having one of the most acclaimed careers in film history, director Martin Scorsese's name was practically changed to Academy Award Winning Director Martin Scorsese, when he released what won him, not only the Academy Award for Best Director (the first time he had ever one that award), the Academy Award for Best Picture for his film The Departed.

The Departed was critically hailed as a crime masterpiece that also featured a star studded cast of Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, Martin Sheen, and Alec Baldwin. The film focused on DiCaprio as undercover cop Billy Costigan, who is infiltrating the Boston based Irish mob, run by Frank Costello (played by Jack Nicholson). However, Matt Damon plays a mole, put in the police department to infiltrate the police. What results is a cat and mouse chase that left audiences on the edge of their seats with plot twist that they could not see coming.

The film was highly acclaimed, and many felt the Academy Award that Scorsese won had been a long time coming, and many believed that any of his films that he had previously made could have won him that honor. It has been announced that a sequel is being planned for the movie.

A brief warning that there are about to be major spoilers from the film, so if you have not seen the film, then do not read any further and simply watch the first film.

Many rumors are stating that a sequel film would focus on Mark Wahlberg's character Sergeant Dignam. Dignam's character killed Matt Damon's character at the end of the first movie, and that was the last frame, so it could be seen as a cliffhanger that could be used to springboard the plot of the sequel. However, it is unknown just how well a sequel would work due to the fact that the majority of the main characters from the first film were killed off.

As of right now, the status of the sequel is unknown, but many fans are unsure as to whether or not a sequel would be a good idea. A sequel would have to introduce many new characters in order to fill the void left by the missing actors and characters. It is also currently unknown as to whether or not Scorsese would return to direct the sequel, but if he does, then it would certainly give the film a major boost.
