Writer Of THE DEPARTED Working On Sequel
by Ryan Laster ~ January 31st, 2007. Filed under: Uncategorized.William Monahan, writer of Martin Scorsese’s THE DEPARTED, is reportely working on a script for a sequel.
Reports are also saying that Monahan has even talked about the idea with Scorsese, but after the ending to the first many must ask how this could possibly be.
The sequel is expected to follow Mark Wahlberg’s character as well as a new character that will be introduced which others have suggested Robert De Niro would play.
The original INFERNAL AFFAIRS, from which THE DEPARTED borrowed heavily from, had both a sequel and prequel.
Scorsese has yet to indicate that he would direct a sequel.
