Warner Bros. is working on a treatment for The Departed, Part II. I'm cautiously excited about this. There are, of course, a few obvious problems with the idea of a sequel, which come readily to mind if you've seen the movie. Still, I can't think of another recent film that has left me so eager for more, and which seems so open to expansion. There are a lot of untold stories that could be written about these characters. Clearly, what The Departed needs is an awesome HBO spinoff with the entire original cast. Those guys don't have anything better to do, right?
