Mark Wahlberg On ‘Departed’ Sequel: ‘I’m Not Interested In Going For The Paycheck’
Last year, Mark Wahlberg let slip to MTV News that the talent behind “The Departed” (namely director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter William Monahan, both Oscar winners for the film) were hard at work on both a sequel AND a prequel to the crime drama about corruption in the Boston police department. “We may do another one, […]

Last year, Mark Wahlberg let slip to MTV News that the talent behind “The Departed” (namely director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter William Monahan, both Oscar winners for the film) were hard at work on both a sequel AND a prequel to the crime drama about corruption in the Boston police department.

“We may do another one, because it’s based on a Hong Kong film [’Infernal Affairs’], and there is a trilogy. So we may do a sequel with a new cast, and a prequel and bring back the rest of the guys,” he said. In fact, Wahlberg even talked of a substantial role for Scorsese favorite Robert De Niro.

So, Qui Bono? It’s now more than a year later. Where does the project stand?

“They’re [still] developing it,” Wahlberg sighed. “If it can be better than the first, then great. I’ll be all for it. I’m not interested in going for the paycheck. I love ‘Godfather 2’ but, then again, I don’t like ‘Godfather 3.’”

So in the meantime, thinking about “The Departed” gives us reason to bring up genius quotes like the above and others. My personal favorite? “I’m the guy who does his job…you must be the other guy.”

“Marty always loved that line. He always busted up when I said it,” Wahlberg recalled. “I was like, that’s not one of the funny lines! But it is. People love that line. It was one of the few lines I didn’t butcher and try to do a long rant imitating my mom.”

Looking forward to a “Departed” sequel? What would be your story for the film? Any other line from the original that can’t help but make you laugh? Sound off below.

Ok so I haven’t updated for a while, get over it. Here is a little bit more cloverfield news for you fans of the viral movie. This one is actually funny, a person from New York heard some shit down on the street so he brought the camera and starting filming and realized it was a scene from the movie, here is what the movie comment is

Footage I shot on the night those bastards from cloverfield where shooting on my street they where using a megaphone and kept evryone in the building awake for days they also fd’up the traffic like every other big budget movie does (who cares about those stupid taxpayer drivers?) this was also shot in the same location where prime is on the floor at the end of that movie.

SilverDocs: Spike Lee
Spike Lee mocks Tyler Perry, and dishes on new projects about Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and Barack Obama.

Spike Lee physically showed up to accept the Guggenheim Honor from the SilverDocs film festival tonight, but mentally, for much of the evening, he seemed to be elsewhere. Maybe his recent squabbles with Clint Eastwood have taken a toll, but when asked to talk about his non-fiction films by Denver Post film critic Lisa Kennedy, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker was virtually unresponsive. Only two subjects seemed to draw out Lee’s fierce, super-quotable Frankenstein.

One was Tyler Perry, who Lee didn’t quite slam, but definitely dissed by implication. “I’d love to see a great film about Martin Luther King,” Lee said. “But I can’t do everything.” He paused as a smile crept across his face. “I gotta leave something for Tyler Perry.” This got the desired affect from the audience––laughs, claps, a few stray “ooooh!”s––and then Lee offered cryptic clarification. “I made the movie Bamboozled,” he said, as if that’s facetious evidence enough that the master of the modern minstrel show would be the appropriate director for a serious film about Dr. King.

The only other subject that could jolt Lee out of his slumping stupor on stage was Barack Obama, to which all conversational roads seemed to lead. Discussing his Hurricane Katrina epic When the Levees Broke, Lee referenced the current flooding in the midwest and said, “The infrastructure of this country is crumbling, and money’s going elsewhere.” He paused, then at quadruple the volume: “That’s gonna change, though…gonna be a real Chocolate City!” He went on to drop the news that his longtime editor Sam Pollard has been filming Obama throughout the primary season and has already captured 1,000 hours of footage for a documentary being produced by Edward Norton. When Kennedy began a question with the phrase, “If Obama’s gonna become president…”, Lee interrupted. “There is no if! It changes everything…it’s gonna be Before Obama, and After Obama. And I’m gonna be at that inauguration, too.”

As if often the case with Lee, where his off-hours personality rankles, his work is impossible to dismiss. Towards the end of the festivities, Lee presented the Cannes show reel for his next release, The Miracle at St. Anna, about an all-black brigade fighting Fascists in Northern Italy during WWII. Though you can rarely tell what a finished film will actually be like from those sorts of things, the Miracle reel certainly had one or two moments worth writing home about. In one scene, a lipsticked German vamp records a propaganda message to be broadcast to African-American soldiers. “The American white man is raping your wives and daughters,” she warns, almost in a sing-song. “There’s something wrong here,” one of these soldiers later confides to another. “I’m not a nigger here, I’m just me.” It looks like epic Oscar bait. It’s set for release in late September, so imagine we’ll see it at Toronto.

Lee also let slip details on two sports documentaries he currently has in the works. The first, inspired by Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, is a single game portrait of Kobe Bryant, shot before, during and after a game with 30 cameras; that one will air “on ESPN or ABC” at the start of next year’s basketball season. The other film would seem to be an even bigger deal for basketball fans: a documentary about Michael Jordan’s last year in Chicago, which Lee says he hopes to premiere next year at Cannes.
