@alltherightmovies.comIf you liked our making of story of THE DEPARTED, please share the opening post
@alltherightmovies.comFinally… not everyone was a fan. Infernal Affairs director Andrew Lau prefers his own film to Scorsese’s, and said: “I think the version I made is better, but the Hollywood version is pretty good too. Scorsese made a version more attuned to American culture.” 35/35
@alltherightmovies.comWilliam Monahan had a sequel idea where Dignam was the main character . He said “I’d love to bring back Dignam, and I know how the picture would open. With The Departed Tango and snow falling on the Boston Common. It would focus on political corruption.” 34/35
@alltherightmovies.comThe film won two other Oscars for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Fil Editing (Thelma Schoonmaker). And on a budget of $90m (half of which went on the cast’s salaries), the film grossed $291.5m at the box office, so was a hit. 33/35
@alltherightmovies.comScorsese had been nominated for 7 Oscars without winning. The Departed won Best Picture, the first foreign film remake to do so. It also won Best Director, which was presented by three of Scorsese’s old pals: Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Francis Ford Coppola. 32/35
