Early word on Martin Scorsese's star-studded crime thriller THE DEPARTED was weak. But Marty, er, um, Mr. Scorsese kept tweaking and tweaking and the buzz has been improving ever so slightly since. It's an uphill battle considering the pedigree of the talent involved - Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Scorsese himself - and the original film this is based on, INFERNAL AFFAIRS. Nevertheless, I have faith Mr. Scorsese can pull it off. Today we get a look at the film's poster. Word round the JoBlo campfire is mixed. Some hatin' on it, some lovin' it. I'm a little mixed. It's a good concept, yet flawed in its execution. Damon and Nicholson look like some kind of weird Siamese twins cojoined at the head. And I hate the hyphen they've included to make the title fit. But it certainly could've been worse. Check it out below (click on the pic to make enlarge) and get ready for the film, which hits theatres on October 6th.
Extra Tidbit:
INFERNAL AFFAIRS won seven awards - including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director - at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
