Reboot Entertainment - Director's Cut - Martin Scorcese - Director of the film The Departed. Scorsese returned to the crime genre with the Boston-set thriller The Departed, based on the Hong Kong police drama Infernal Affairs. Along with Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio, The Departed was Scorsese’s first collaboration with Jack Nicholson and Martin Sheen. The Departed opened to widespread critical acclaim, with some proclaiming it as one of the best efforts Scorsese had brought to the screen since 1990's Goodfellas, and still others putting it at the same level as Scorsese’s most celebrated classics Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. With domestic box office receipts surpassing $129,402,536, The Departed was Scorsese’s highest grossing film (not accounting for inflation) until 2010’s Shutter Island. Martin Scorsese’s direction of The Departed earned him his second Golden Globe for Best Director, as well as a Critics’ Choice Award, his first Directors Guild of America Award, and the Academy Award for Best Director. While being presented with the award, Scorsese said, “Could you double-check the envelope?” It was presented to him by his longtime friends and colleagues Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg. The Departed also received the Academy Award for the Best Motion Picture of 2006, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film Editing by longtime Scorsese editor Thelma Schoonmaker, her third win for a Scorsese film. The Departed is a 2006 American crime drama film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by William Monahan. It is a remake of the 2002 Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, and Mark Wahlberg, with Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone, Vera Farmiga, Anthony Anderson, and Alec Baldwin in supporting roles. It won several awards, including four Oscars at the 79th Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director (Scorsese), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Film Editing. Wahlberg was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. The film takes place in Boston. Irish Mob boss Francis "Frank" Costello plants Colin Sullivan as a mole within the Massachusetts State Police; the two characters are loosely based on famous gangster Whitey Bulger and corrupt FBI agent John Connolly, who grew up with Bulger. Simultaneously, the police assign undercover trooper William "Billy" Costigan to infiltrate Costello's crew. When both sides realize the situation, each man attempts to discover the other's true identity before his own cover is blown. https://www.twitter.com/RebootSocial https://www.facebook.com/RebootEntertainmentUS Subscribe to our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/RebootENT?sub_confirmation=1 The Departed - Starcast Leonardo Dicaprio / Matt Damon / Jack Nicholson / Mark Wahlberg / Martin Sheen / Ray Winstone / Vera Farmiga / Anthony Anderson / Kristen Dalton
