DiCaprio + Monahan Hong Kong remake Part 2? CONFESSION OF PAIN moving!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a little bit of post Oscar news. It's actually the first of two DEPARTED-themed pieces that hit today.

This one has Oscar-winning screenwriter William Monahan scripting the remake of another Hong Kong flick called CONFESSION OF PAIN, which was also made by the INFERNAL AFFAIRS team of Andrew Lau, Alan Mak and Felix Chong.

I haven't been able to catch this one yet, but it sounds pretty good, about a police detective who teams up with a private detective friend to investigate the murder of the cop's father-in-law. Of course the more they dig, the less they like what they find.

Monahan is adapting the script for Warner Bros as well as acting as producer and Leonardo DiCaprio is in line to star and produce. It worked once, why not again? Let's hope they get a strong director.
