New Scorsese trailer (Departed: Jack Nicholson, Damon, DiCaprio)
 

Did anyone see the trailer for The Departed that was showing in theaters this weekend?

It's Scorsese's remake of the Hong Kong action movie Infernal Affairs. Holy crap, it looks amazing. Amazing. Potentially Scorsese's best since Goodfellas if not better. Jack Nicholson looks to be having a hilariously good time playing a Scorsese gangster, and DiCaprio, Damon, and Mark Wahlberg appear to be no slouches either.

I loved the plot in the HK version, but for once this looks like a case where the American remake is even better. I am stoked.

infernal affairs RULES

a friend told me it was the best trailer he'd ever seen. i held my fingers in my ears and looked away from the screen during the trailer for this and borat when i went to see miami vice. i'm planning on avoiding them until they get released, which will be pretty annoying but hopefully worth it.

Re: New Scorsese trailer (Departed: Jack Nicholson, Damon, DiCaprio)
 

i saw this trailer before miami vice the other week. i'm really looking forward to it since it was filmed on location in Boston.

i believe jokes like this belong in LOL

Re: New Scorsese trailer (Departed: Jack Nicholson, Damon, DiCaprio)
 

WTF is up with them using the Van Morrison version of Comfortably Numb in the trailer though? Very odd.

I am going to find it difficult to conceal the ridiculous hardon I have for this movie on the way into the theater.

Yeah but what do I do while standing in line? I mean I will need to be like 6 feet away from anyone else to be safe, maybe if I push around a shopping cart or something I can drape a blanket over the whole apparatus.

Seriously though, WTF is up with the music?

Re: New Scorsese trailer (Departed: Jack Nicholson, Damon, DiCaprio)
 

The trailer was okay but the music selections, while all okay songs, were horribly placed. GJ using like 7 seconds of Gimme Shelter and then cutting to [censored] Irish drum-rap.

Re: New Scorsese trailer (Departed: Jack Nicholson, Damon, DiCaprio)
 

I just wanted to add that I used to believe no one was as cool as Humphrey Bogart, but Jack Nicholson may have passed him.

likely. Although half the time I was spewing for fun (showed up blitzed out of my mind) and the other half was playing seriously (although it's debatable how good my NL game is even when I'm trying).

Also, I think it was T8

edit: ps. chief?

Are you guys serious?

My friends and I saw the trailer before Miami Vice too (which sucked) and we were soo disappointed. They should just put the original on screens sub it.

No -- it's a piece of crap. See The Descent; that's the film this trailer precedes.

Nah, this looks good, but I don't think the intensity of Liotta, De Niro and Pesci in Goodfellas will be matched in this or any other gangster film.

I didnt get a stiffy from this trailer, but Ive never seen the original. Is there something wrong with me or is all this fanfare due to people loving the original?

No, because I liked but didn't love the original. For me, the fanfare is about Martin Scorsese doing a totally kick-ass action/gangster movie again with a brilliant cast that looks really well done. And it's a cool concept: undercover cop in the mob, undercover gangster in the police force.

Re: New Scorsese trailer (Departed: Jack Nicholson, Damon, DiCaprio)
 

This comes out on Friday -- and the advance word is awesome. Esquire and The Onion have both called it one of the best films of the year, and many say it really IS Scorsese's best since Goodfellas.

Re: New Scorsese trailer (Departed: Jack Nicholson, Damon, DiCaprio)
 

Don't see The Descent. It came out here over a year ago. It sucks.

Re: New Scorsese trailer (Departed: Jack Nicholson, Damon, DiCaprio)
 

Why must he use Gimme Shelter again and again and again? Why?
It is a great song but still....

lol - you can alway count on the Village Voice film critic hating everything.

Re: New Scorsese trailer (Departed: Jack Nicholson, Damon, DiCaprio)
 

Boxofficeguru predicts an opening of $27M for this -- which means word of mouth could turn it into Scorsese's highest grossing film (along with what is hopefully one of his best; I'm seeing it tonight of course).
