Remember the Infernal Affairs Trilogy? This excellent film by Andrew Lau and Alan Mak grossed multiple awards in the Chinese and Hong Kong film making industry, rippled through the Asian box office and also featured top notch actors like Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Eric Tsang, Anthony Wong, Leon Lai, Chapman To and many more.
Right now Hollywood will be remaking this amazing undercover triad saga under the influential mind of film maker Martin Scorsese. Titled the Departed, the plot itself is already awesome.
From IMDB:
"Two men from opposite sides of the law are undercover within the Boston State Police department and the Irish mafia, but violence and bloodshed boil when discoveries are made, and the moles are dispatched to find out their enemy's identities."

On top of that storyline, it stars a slew of big names including Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg and Martin Sheen. Will it live up to Asian success? We will see on October 6 2006.

I've not seen The Infernal Affairs. The Departed is the shit. Leonardo Dicaprio's performance is excellent. The first hour had me going "whoa!" I will reserve the rest of my comments till you've seen it.
