King of the Gangster flicks Martin Scorsese is coming up with another take on gangster life, this time from the Irish perspective in Boston. Or as the locals call it, “Bahstan”. The trailer for the movie, “The Departed”, hits Yahoo! Movies. Loaded to the ass with big name stars (Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Friggin Nicholson, and Matt Damon to name just a few), “The Departed” is based on a Hong Kong crime flick called “Infernal Affairs”, which was so popular it spawned two sequels — in one year! Beat that, Hollywood!

The plot is pretty groovy: as young up and coming punks, a gangster goes undercover as a cop, while a cop goes undercover as a gangster, and as they grow through the ranks, they have to figure out who the mole in their respective organizations are before their own identities are exposed. Pretty cool, huh? By the way, the original did NOT end well for the participants. But I’m sure they’ll “Hollywood” it up for domestic consumption. “The Departed” beats Irish ass October 6th.
