Will The Departed Get a Sequel?

According to the Hollywood Reporter, talks have already started that could result in a sequel.

Scorsese, whose film, which was nominated five times for the upcoming Oscar Awards, is already working on the script.  The story will centre on Dignam, played by Mark Wahlberg, and will introduce a new character to be played by Robert De Niro.

A sequel for The Departed, which was a remake of the Hong Kong film Internal Affairs, must be approved by Scorsese.

Warner Studios is looking into options for two sequels for the film.
