Try This Link to the high res Yahoo Quicktime Trailer for THE DEPARTED
Hey folks, Harry here... If you know INFERNAL AFFAIRS, one of the most brilliant modern Hong Kong films. Now, it's a bit unfair to judge, given this trailer has been given the "Entertainment Tonight" treatment of annoying bubblehead commentary - but I think it'll be a bit getting used to the culture change to the original film - but having said that - I really do feel this movie is going to be gold. The script was excellent and the casting was beyond fantastic. But for now - take a look at this...

daddy likes.
-
Scorsese's back!
-
and i'm not watching this until its on quicktime. i cannot stand watching crap on bad youtube playback with shitty et commentary.
-
Can ya believe dat?! A Jew broad, prejudiced against Italians....
-
jeezus that was painful.
-
I think I just came. This looks fan-fuckin-tastic
-
Just had to say it.
-
It's some band covering them?
-
I'm a little sticky. I pray to Tom Cruise that this winds up being as good as it looks. A mean what a fucking cast. C'mon Scorsese work it baby!
-
No it was def not Pink Floyd (that was my only qualm). The audio was to crappy to figure out who was covering it though.
-
welcome back, Marty. We've missed you.
-
that looks so fucking good...jack playing the role he was born to play...itll be nice to go see a decent movie in october without instead of the "horror" movies all the little teenagers go to
-
jesus Harry you must be the most pretentious fucker in history. Which, being pretentious myself, is fine. What fucking sticks in my craw is how completely arbitrary it is for you. It ahs nothing to do with quality for you. But then again I guess that's what I get from a guy who named a puppet movie that no one has ever heard of as one of the best films of last year. You just HAD to put that little blurb about how its unsettling to you that its not chinese didnt you? It's a totally different movie with a fantastic writer, director, and cast and it will probably be a completely and utterly different piece of art, albiet excellent nontheless, but you just have to draw that distinction so you can look like a know-it-all asshole. Pathetic.
-
And so do all the other Hollywood entertainment shows with plastic Barbie & Ken hosts that secretly wished they were movie stars themselves but will settle for just sticking their head up the ass of some A-list celeb. The movie looks good though.
-
Trailer looks great, but i don't know about the weird Floyd cover...it doesn't seem to fit.
-
but when you think about how Scorsese didn't win an Oscar for Goodfellas, Casino, Taxi Driver, Who's That Knocking at My Door, etc., will he really win one for this?
-
That version is a live one by Pink Floyd with Van Morrison on vocal for the chorus. It's my favorite version.
-
thanks ET
-
Good to see Scorcese back in top form. Don't get me wrong, I liked the Aviator a lot and even Gangs of New York but I've always wanted the man to get back to his roots. Remind me not to really pay any mind to the early reviews on this site that come in from "DarthMaul691" or "MNightShemale-fan" or whatever. Who the fuck cares if its a remake, its a Scorcese remake. Look what he did with Cape Fear, and most people actually saw the original for that. It's like someone announcing John Carpenter is going to remake Freaks, you know he'd knock it out of the park. Kinda liked that Comfortably Numb cover as well, almost sounded like some recent Van Morrison to me but I can't be sure. Hope Gimme Shelter isn't in the soundtrack though as he has already used that. SCORCESE IS BACK!
-
Fuckin A!
-
yayaya!
-
This looks amazing, but no matter how good it is, it'll always lack the shock value of the original. Maybe if I drink heavily between now and when it comes out, I'll destroy enough brain cells that I'll forget what happens. Bottoms up!
-
ya buncha bitches
-
Someone cast these two as half brothers... quick! Benico can be an meth addicted school principal, and Leo could play his brother -- an Iraqi veteran who comes home to find that Benico is ruining his family's life. You know it would be fun to watch. Get Craig Brewer to direct, have me writer... all would be cookie and sour milk!
-
Thought I recognized The Van. Where's the song from?
-
No wonder it sounds so shitty. And I agree on the "Gimmie Shelter" thing. Already been done. Too closely associated with Goodfellas.
-
It's from The Wall: Live in Berlin, 1990. Van is such a God he isn't even aware of the existence of those tasteless fools who don't like him, he's too busy being God. (Of course, he isn't aware of those who like him, either.)
-
That's the funniest thing I've read here in ages.
-
Like most artists from his time I think he is resting on his laurels and has been making generic music for a decade or two (unless he's covering something as good as Comfortably Numb of course), but it's hard to front on the man's catalog of classic songs. It's like saying Bob Dylan is a hack because he hasn't had a groundbreaking album for a long time. Even if you don't like him or you're just ticked off that your parents play him on all your vacations and car trips, you gotta admit Van Morrisson is boss. Anyone who doesn't like songs like "And it Stoned Me" is someone I don't want to know.
-
Alan Mak and Andrew Lau did.
-
Hear me out here. There's another guy out there that Scorcese has already worked with a bunch of times. A guy who, quite frankly, could use a decent role. Guy by the name of Robert DeNiro. Come on, imagine that. Are you imagining it? Think Heat. But hey, maybe he was busy shooting Meet the Fockers II.
-
To has yet to do anything as good as Infernal Affairs, Election included.
-
Bring back John Tesh.
-
was wicked ovah rated.
-
If you haven't watched it already. The sequel was even better. I've never seen a sequel that took such a different approach to the subject matter entirely by adjusting the focus of the characters while maintaining everything that made the first one so amazing. Jet is one of the best crime characters ever.

up at yahoo movies, quicktime, no douche announcer.

is up at yahoo movies.
-
"...and thank you god, for allowing me to be the vessel from which he speaks!!!!" I'm quoting David Cross though. God bless the Cross. I wonder how awkward it was for David Cross to film a scene with Lipton in ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT being as how he totally trashes the guy in his stand up performances.
Oh, this looks good too though. -
Can't there just be shooting and explosions and stuff? The original certainly didn't suffer from a lack of a love story.
-
well, a yahoo link:
http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/thedeparted.html
the movie looks far better now! -
http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/thedepartedqt1.html
-
Should of had this tone, this look, and this intensity. Funny how that works, isn't it? I remember when Punisher came out, and I hated it, then I saw Man on Fire and thought "This should have been The Punisher." Hmmm.
-
Aw, I love how all their names are listed at the end. Mark Wahlberg gets to be with them. My heart!! Here it is, everyone: The Departed -- that music at the very beginning. So Marty! :)
-
I was so excited. I didn't see that you already posted the link. Wonderful! Thank you. And sorry about the HTML mess-up. LOL. I love it: the trailer. Marty!! :)
-
It's The Roger Waters Band doing "The Wall" live in Berlin in 1990 with Van Morrison singing that song. Waters isn't Floyd and Floyd haven't been Floyd since Waters left. Was at this gig 16 years ago...jesus that makes me feel old, and went to the Live8 gig just to see Waters & co reform. /pedant
-
me web design goods. me hotlink b4 anyones else. yay! oh noes wha happa?
-
I love all of Marty's work, so I'm sure I'll love this. Jack looks right at home, and he couldn't be with a better director... the rest of the cast is excellent too. I liked the Van Morrison cover... I hope they're using that in the actual film and not just the trailer... it really seems to work for me. Of all the films about to be released in the fall, I'm the most pumped for this one.
-
If you can't appreciate a Scorsese film, I really pity you. Your post is one of the most pathetic things I've ever read on AICN.
-
"If you know INFERNAL AFFAIRS, one of the most brilliant modern Hong Kong films."
and
"but I think it'll be a bit getting used to the culture change to the original film"
Are you trying to say something there?
-
The Prestige, The Fountain, Children of Men, Rescue Dawn, Flags of our Fathers and Apocalypto are my most awaited. After this trailer I think I gotta add the Departed to the most anticipated list. Also looking forward to Zodiac, Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Casino Royale, Babel, Black Dahlia, The Good Shepherd, Pan's Labyrinth, Edmond, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, Harsh Times and Beerfest.
-
Sorry as well. See, I am so psyched I only saw jackinitraw's post (btw, are you talking to me in your last post? I apologized for posting the link and I tried to use HTML to shorten it. I didn't know. :( -- Harry, if you could delete it, that would be awesome). But vassilis, thank you for posting the link; I've watched it so many times already. I love it!
-
Re: the fall season. And for me, "The Departed" is first on my list, *g*. I do think it's going to be a treat for all of us though -- this fall. Re: Robert De Niro being in "The Departed". *sigh*, I know. He'd be perfect and it's the only thing that I would want different. But one day. My wish is that Marty gets to direct Robert and Leo together one day. He tried in "Gangs of New York" and then "The Departed", but one day -- it'll happen. :)
-
Dicaprio. Everytime I see him I expect an iceberg to come into the frame. Which is my snotty way of saying Gilbert Grape was the only time I saw any range from this guy, the rest is just same shit different movie. I saw the original Infernal Affairs and liked it. I had high hopes for this one (kinda still do) But Leo just taints it for me.
-
on the soundtrack, I might go see it !!!
-
One of my personal favorites. It's just such a nice, roundabout way of saying, "I'm better than you". Which is always good. Another thing I always like is the complete absence of a sense of humor. Nicely done, Atomic Worm. Nicely done.
-
Yeah I was but I was posting that before you posted your apology and I felt bad after for ragging on you for the botched hyperlink. Sorry dude.
-
Roger Waters isn't Pink Floyd is a douchenozzle and a half.
-
But the movie looks okay.
-
Derivative, maybe. But far from terrible. Would you have preferred, say, a mash-up of Jay-Z and Linkin Park? Would that have clinched it for you?
-
Trailer looked pretty cool. Van Morrison sucks though. I still have faith that Marty can still reclaim back his glory days. I need to check out Election 1 and 2 havent had a chance to catch up on my foreign movies since Pedazo Chunk closed down. Speaking of that, Harry what happened to Pedazzo and Sister Satan? Check out this rad politically incorrect movie, music, and game review site. http://tinyurl.com/pv8do
-
The mood of the song doesn't fit the mood of the trailer AT ALL. That version of the song is not very good, Comfortably Numb is one of Pink Floyds most overexposed songs, it was recently redone by the scissor sisters, it has too much baggage. Did I mention it doesn't fit the mood of the trailer?
-
Because I don't see how 'derivative' applies to sticking this song on to that trailer.
-
The song reminded me of "Goodfellas" and we know that Martin Scorsese always picks perfect songs to complement his films. I just know this soundtrack will be the same. Yay. Although I do love that first bit of music we heard best. Speaking of "mood", I think that set it up as a Marty movie... I didn't realize how big Mark Wahlberg's part was though. It must be pretty big for him to be one of the names and that makes me even more happy, *g*... I'm off to watch it again. LOL. But also, jackinitraw -- re: the HTML. Sorry I keep bringing it up everyone, but I'm just sorry it messed up the frames for some people. Wish there was an edit button. :( And about posting the URL, I never, ever do that usually. I was just so excited over "The Departed" and didn't stop to read the thread. One last - sorry. But I must say, it's all Marty's fault, *g*.
-
Which Scorcese also used in Goodfellas. Hence, derivative (of himself, no less). And I don't have a problem with the second piece. I think it's nice to see someone go with something unexpected instead of simply using whatever the kids are downloading on iTunes this week. So come on Jimmy, give me a better song. Right now. I dare you.
-
took me out of the trailer....gay
-
I won't see it. It's not going to be as the original so why bother. I don't know why they keep remaking good movies, especially ones that aren't even old.
Also why the fuck haven't they fixed the stretching of the page yet? -
Really made that hard to watch. What a stupid trailer. Damon is the Shit, Nicholson, a legend. But Leo, I really have a hard time taking a guy with his voice seriously. He is a good actor but his fucking voice is so grating. He sounds 13 years old. Wahlberg, I think he's pretty good overall. But he is still Marky Mark to me.
-
Why are the editing together such long previews now a days? We do not need to see the WHOLE movie, in 2 minutes. they leave nothing to the imagination anymore. oh well
-
His solo stuff has never been as good as his Floyd work. Without Gilmour to balance his acid, Waters spirals off into egomaniacal self-parody. And without Waters, Floyd is generic MOR music with Gilmour co-writing with his wife about eco-issues and middle-aged observations on life. Watching Floyd without Waters is like seeing a tribute band, and Waters without Floyd is a drunken Uncle ranting about the youth of today.
-
My fault, just habit I guess, and I don't think it's that big a deal. But I did name the correct album, so I forgive myself. Anyway, whoever mentioned that Gilmour balanced out Waters hit it square. Waters' self-pitying whining and deep cynicism had its charms when balanced by Gilmour's guitar playing. Separately, Gilmour is plastic and Waters is just a whiny bitch--"It sucks being famous when you had a rough childhood!" Yeah, yeah. Similarly, Morrison still has his ability but he keeps writing songs about how it sucks being famous. Maybe if he didn't have so many thieving business associates he wouldn't be so cranky. And although others here hate it I still prefer that version of the song; Morrison just adds a strength to the delivery that's less wimpy. I think it goes perfectly with the tone of the trailer.
-
of his ol' buddy Affleck in terms of respect, box office earnings, and workmates. 2: Matt Damon and Marky Mark can forget conforming to the non-accent speech, and get back to their Boston roots.
-
This will muthaf*cking rock. Snakes on a Plane rock!
-
would this feel a whole lost more scorcese-y if his camerawork had some sass to it? some dirty grunginess to fit the story? doesn't it look somehow polished and bland? that kind of bums me out.
-
But I've been pretty excited to see this movie for a while, much more-so now. Though nobody in this movie can touch Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Anthony Wong. Or Eric Tsang. Hell, Andy Lau too. But this looks to be an excellent try, with more than a few nods to the original.
-
its the new goodfellas boys! haha
-
occula, I noticed that too. It did seem a little polished to me and also, it being modern. I'm so used to him creating an era so beautifully - that was different as well. But I do think it's going to be wonderful. I just have a feeling. (Or is this merely my wish?) But I think the cast is amazing and Marty is brilliant and this film's release date can't get here soon enough, *g*. That said, I'm hoping when we see the final print, it has Marty's imprint, his signature all over it! Go Marty!
-
Thank you. I thought I was going to be the only one who thought that the bad version of comfortably numb really REALLY did not fit the mood of the rest of the trailer. I thought it was badass shit until that hit and I cringed at it. The song has been very overexposed lately (especially with the Scissor Sisters) and at this point it IS the eqivalent of the Jay-Z/Linkin Park Mash-up. Movie looks cool, but I'm having a hard time trusting Marty lately. Older shit was great, Gangs = horrible (except Daniel Day Lewis), and Aviator = decent to good. Here's hopin' though!
-
Talk about killing the mood. And next time lets not tell the whole story in the trailer.
-
fucking A right
-
I felt it was overrated, but with Scorcese I'll check this out.
-
i'm sorry, but this is the third time Scorcese's used The Rolling Stone's "Gimmie Shelter." First in Goodfellas, second in Casino (twice in fact counting its trailer as well), and now here, along with Leo doing his DeNiro "Cape Fear" prison workout impression. We can only hope it doesn't show up in The Departed.
But do we blame Scorcese, or do we blame marketing for thinking his "clever" use of music is still valid. Sure the music in "Bringing Out The Dead" was great, but it felt forced on the story instead of being apart of it. Stick to a score or hum in the back of the theater, either way i'll wait. -
He's only good as JAAAACK. Just like Bogart couldn't really be anyone but a variation on Bogart. He's a movie star, someone you can instantly imitate. Scorsese's good with character actors, not movie stars. Now, unless this is the perfect role, where Jack's movie star persona collides with the part in a perfect match, like Cuckoo's Nest or The Last Detail (when he was still inventing that persona), then fuck it. DeNiro's always been a character actor, but the second he made that face in Goodfellas while he was smoking that cigarette and thinking of killing Morrie, he did something regular people could imitate, and thus, now we're stuck with Meet the Fockers. He's not a star like Nicholson, he's an ACTOR like Pacino. He's only a star in the sense that he's super famous, but not in that sense of his personality is what drives his films. Damon is always one to watch, but here's an idea - WORK WITH GONNA BE'S NOT FUCKING HAS BEENS. DeNiro, in 1972, wasn't dying to be in the next Hitchcock movie, nor was Scorsese dying to work with Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. What the fuck is with this shit? Scorsese can still be more interesting to watch than any other director, but that's only because of the horrible state of things. I didn't like Requiem that much and have bitched about it endlessly on here, but the more I think about it, the more I gotta give props to Aronofsky after seeing that Fountain trailer and poster and knowing he spent nearly half a decade trying to get it made. THAT'S who people like Damon should be falling all over themselves to work with. Brad Pitt too, but I guess getting to show his ass in a movie and be in a movie that would make the tabloids was more important than helping bring Aronofsky's vision to the screen. Unbelievable, I swear... and while hopes for The Fountain are running so high as to be almost impossible to fulfill, at least he's swinging for the fences and it's only his third film. Think about how different the film seems from Requiem and Pi while most others of his generation keep churning out the same old attempts at seeming clever and ironic. THANK CHRIST, someone is being sincere without fear of seeming pretentious. I used to call it pseudo-intellectual but now I realize it's actually artistic courage. It's like Coppola said in Hearts of Darkness - "Finally you say fuck it! I don't care if it's pretentious!"

Check out Marty's Mirror, Mirror on the Amazing [cont]
by osmosis jones
Stories DVD. Pretty cool.
-
He would've been great in this movie.
-
Any Scorsese movie that has Rolling Stones music in it is worth watching. Leo and Matt Damon look like they've really nailed their parts. Can't wait...
-
Dear Academy Please give Martin Scorsase a fucking Best Director Academy award. Haven't you bastards snubbed him enough? Give him a fucking Oscar you bitches...!!!
-
which is something i feel real gay for saying but they look like they will be fantastic
-
Why has jack got third billing? or is it alfa-fucking-betical? Fuck that it's jack nicholson he gets top billing period.
-
They have the pimped out trailer.
-
I'm always up for whatever Scorsese does. I've been looking forward to this ever since I heard about it. I saw them filming at a French restaurant in Soho a while back and saw Nicholson and Scorsese in the flesh. Cannot wait for this to come out. Stop the Dicaprio hate, dude's got talent.
-
Agreed , the Leo hate is there cause most of these idiots know their girlfriends want to pork him..he was REAL good in the aviator and in Gangs of NY. The kid can act and this movie looks like it will be real good too.
-
This looks so much better then original. Thank god for Jack Nicholson.
-
...sucked big time indeed. Jeesz, such acting talents and then such weird music editing.
-
As much as I feel that Cameron should have casted older for his two leads, I cannot deny that Leo acted very well in that film. I became a huge fan of his, however, when he did The Aviator and Catch Me if You Can. Oh, and I cannot wait to see the Departed--it looks very, very good.
-
I'll believe it when I see it. The original kicked ass and had a couple knock you out of your seat surprises that, through no fault of its own, the sequel won't be able to match. But hey, we'll see.
-
Love Ray Winstone. Looks okay, but I wouldn't have been surprised if it said "Directed by F. Gary Gray" or some shit like that...
-
AWESOME. The trailer was great, except for the end part with Nicholson saying, "How's your mother?" I hate it when trailers end with a little comic jab. It's stupid, especially for a serious film such as this.
The music, really, set the tone for this trailer. Van Morrison's cover to end the trailer really blended great with the footage. The whole crane shot with the Japanese (?) symbol in neon lights with the music hitting is fantastic artwork.
I can't wait for this one. -
The point i would contend about the Leo hate is that it isn't based on guys thinking their girlfriends want to pork him. It's based on guys with no girilfriend at all, and no hope of getting one.
-
... and it's beautiful. I know I wrote that yesterday, but I just wanted to say so again, *g*. The music too. Watching it scene by scene now, the music works wonderfully. I think I had to get used to it as well, but after watching it over and agin, and no longer pausing for the music, it just flows. *sigh*. Leo and Jack, Mark and Matt look awesome. (Still the only wish I have is that Robert De Niro was in this.) I cannott wait! And, I'm rambling now, *lol*. But Marty's style. Even though this trailer doesn't let us see much of it yet (though that first shot of Jack with the Marty music - *eee*!), we'll see it all over "The Departed". Don't you think? I'm so excited!!
-
Will this be like Kurosawa remaking westerns or will this be like westerns remaking Kurosawa remaking westerns? Which would be a good thing? (Or worse, Gangster film remaking western remaking Kurosawa remaking westerns). I'd complain about Hollywood pilfering from Asian cinema again, but since it's Goodfellas Scorsese, he gave me pause. If anyone can, he might.
-
I think the music is great. Maybe the little bits of music in between the Rolling Stones and the Floyd/Morrison, but seriously you guys need to find something better to do than complaining about a Scorcese score.
-
Will see this in the theater. Great cast and it looks like it will be entertaining all the way around.
-
Clint Vs Marty round 2 in feb 07!
-
Re: the music, Gwai Lo, I love it. I haven't closed the window for the trailer yet. LOL. The Glorious QuickTime version is still up, *g*. But the music is wonderful -- all the different styles. I love the beginning and the Irish music is awesome ... Re: Clint vs. Marty, Round 2, emeraldboy, gosh, I know right? My heart's with Marty. Always. :)
-
Looks pretty faithful to the original to me. I'm sure the details will be different but the broad strokes of the story look to be all there, and I couldn't be happier. Lotta shots in the trailer look just like their counterparts in IA. Lets hope the female characters are a little better this time around. Also, the soundtrack for IA rocked, if the original music in The Departed is half as nice I'll have no complaints.
-
I'd give your right nut to see Anthony Wong play a Chinese criminal Nicholson has a dealing with, if only for a scene or two. Way too much to hope for, though.
-
Looks good - though a little TOO close to the great original. I was hoping Scorcese would put a grittier spin on it, but a lot of this looks shot for shot like the very slick and polished original version. It's INFERNAL AFFAIRS - THE CAUCASIAN CONNECTION. I see what Chris Doyle was getting at when he went off about it in that interview (that you can summon up with Google, no time to hunt down the URL).
-
You mean like Cape Fear?
-
if Harry ever expressed distaste toward Kurosawa's re-imagining of Macbeth as Throne of Blood? Or of King Lear as Ran? Probably not. Ah, double standards. Gotta love 'em.
-
Can't wait for the new Guest comedy. Otherwise, great list my friend. The fall season is going to be much better than the crappy summer has been.
-
I can live with it in the trailer, but if it shows up in the movie during a "as the years go by" montage, I will vomit.
(looks great though!) -
of the trailer. Someone please explain it to me...
