Mark Wahlberg says he "was pissed about a couple of things" behind the scenes of The Departed, which cast him in a role different than he initially wanted.
Few artists have succeeded in reinventing themselves like Mark Wahlberg.

In 2006, Wahlberg was part of a stellar ensemble in Martin Scorsese's The Departed.

Bourne 6 needs to adapt to modern action aesthetics influenced by films like John Wick. Matt Damon's return as Jason Bourne is crucial for the franchise's future success. A balance of realism and larger action sequences will maintain the unique edge of Bourne 6.
The upcoming Jason Bourne 6 needs to adapt to modern action-movie aesthetics if it wants to succeed, and can learn some key lessons from one of cinema's biggest modern successes. Released in 2002, The Bourne Identity introduced audiences to Matt Damon's most enduring action character. Since then, Bourne has appeared in three other films (but was absent from the Jeremy Renner-led The Bourne Legacy.) Eight years since the release of Jason Bourne, talk over an upcoming sixth film in the series suggests Matt Damon is gearing up for another adventure.

Not a single person asked for this, but we're getting it anyway. You likely never wondered about the intense brand rivalry between Kellogg's and Post that went into the invention of Pop-Tarts -- and, honestly, why would you? -- but the real-life drama behind the breakfast staple proved too much to resist, apparently. In a world where we can get an Oscar-winning drama about Facebook from one of our greatest living directors, a weirdly watchable biopic on the guy behind McDonald's starring Batman, and most recently Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's "Moneyball"-like deep-dive into Nike's Air Jordan sneakers, why the heck wouldn't we get a movie all about the process behind how breakfast was reinvented forever?

Tom Holland rose to fame for his portrayal of Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, debuting in Captain America: Civil War in 2016. His unique portrayal of both Spider-Man and Peter Parker resonated well with fans, successfully capturing the essence of the iconic character from the comics. While Holland has yet to be confirmed for Spider-Man 4, it appears fans are hoping for his return after listening to Amy Pascal’s plans.

In the wake of his Oscar win for Oppenheimer, Cillian Murphy has added another role to his increasingly busy slate – the period drama Blood Runs Coal.
With the odd exception, Oscar-winning actors don’t tend to be short of work in the wake of winning the coveted gong, and the same seems true for Cillian Murphy. In fairness, the actor’s schedule was already pretty busy, but he’s added another project to his slate that will see him produce and star in another take on a non-fiction story.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Murphy has signed up to star in Blood Runs Coal, an adaptation of the book of the same name. Universal is backing the project, which has been penned by Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth who previously co-wrote Edge Of Tomorrow together. No director has been named yet.

Things got a little hairy between Mark Wahlberg and Martin Scorsese during production on “The Departed.”
Wahlberg, whose lone (acting) Oscar nomination came for his role as Sergeant Dignam in the Boston Police Department, recalled having some “issues” with Scorsese over his hair length on the set of the 2006 film. (“The Departed” earned Scorsese his sole Academy Award for Best Director.)
The backstory: Wahlberg was supposed to directly follow up 2005’s “Four Brothers” with “Invincible.” In “Invincible,” he played bartender Vince Papale who, against all odds, made the Philadelphia Eagles team in 1976; the real-life role called for long hair. “The Departed,” which he ended up shooting during a break in “Invincible” production, did not.
Wahlberg says his “weird hair” in “The Departed” didn’t go over well with Marty.

The Current Debate is a column that connects the dots between great writing about a topic in the wider film conversation.Oppenheimer.“If there’s a sense of disconnect between what’s on stage and the outside world,” Alison Willmore writes of the 96th Academy Awards in Vulture, “Hollywood’s always declared itself the kingdom of dreams.” That might well be true, but the ceremony’s ostrichlike indifference toward some of the issues dominating global headlines this year felt especially jarring. While pro-Palestine protesters outside the theater blocked traffic and held signs with messaging like, “What good is art that ignores genocide,” only Jonathan Glazer, director of the Holocaust drama The Zone of Interest (all films 2023 unless otherwise noted), which was crowned Best International Film, dared to address the bloodshed in Gaza and Israel.

Martin Scorsese's 2006 film "The Departed," a remake of Andrew Lau's and Alan Mak's 2002 cop drama "Infernal Affairs," was about a criminal (Matt Damon) who had been raised by a mob boss (Jack Nicholson) specifically to infiltrate the Boston Pd. At the same time, a cop (Leonard DiCaprio) was assigned a deep, deep undercover mission into Nicholson's mob, having to pose as a career criminal. Both occupied their roles for years and began to doubt their identities. "The Departed" is one of Scorsese's more awarded films, which is strange as he has made several much better films since.
"The Departed" was nominated for five Academy Awards and won four, for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Editing. The only actor nominated for the film was Mark Wahlberg, playing a very aggressive and extremely Bostonian Staff Sergeant named Sean Dignam. Dignam didn't play a major role in the film's story,...

Mark Wahlberg has admitted he wasn’t entirely happy while filming Martin Scorsese’s 2006 film The Departed.
Wahlberg played Sergeant Dignam, who worked in the Special Investigation Unit of the Massachusetts State Police Department, in the Boston-set film, which also starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin and Vera Farmiga, among others.
“I was a little pissed about a couple things but look, it all worked out in the end, I think,” Wahlberg said on the March 14 episode of Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast.
“Originally I was supposed to play another part. Originally, I was supposed to get paid,” he said, without elaborating. “And then even when we kind of agreed that I would play Dignam and I saw the advantages of playing that part and how I would approach the situation with everybody else playing opposite me, I then had another movie after.

Ben Affleck rarely does sequels, making The Accountant 2 an exciting departure from his usual career trajectory. The return of Affleck, Bernthal, and the original cast in The Accountant 2 speaks to the filmmakers' commitment to quality. With Bernthal's increased role and Affleck's enthusiasm, The Accountant 2 has the potential to surpass the first film.
The Accountant 2 is the upcoming sequel to Ben Affleck's 2016 action thriller, The Accountant, and considering his lack of direct sequels throughout his 41-year career, is exciting news. The Accountant 2 is already in development, and the sequel will see Affleck return as his mathematical savant/money launderer, Christian Wolff.

After desperately clinging to his dream project, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, when the film got postponed by decades, Terry Gilliam shifted his focus to The Brothers Grimm.

Ford v Ferrari alters the details of Ken Miles' fatal crash, adding emotional weight to the story. Christian Bale worked closely with Ken Miles' son to accurately portray the racing icon in the film. Ken Miles' legacy continues to be recognized posthumously, with several awards and honors in the racing world.
The Ken Miles death scene in Ford v Ferrari is a heartbreaking moment, but also changes several details of the true story. Directed by James Mangold, Ford v Ferrari shows Ford's triumph over the Ferrari at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race. It's a tale of clashing egos and talented artists struggling to balance creative integrity with commercial viability, culminating in a race where one false step could mean a horrific — and fatal — crash. Christian Bale costars as Ken Miles, the highly talented but hot-tempered World War II vet-turned-professional driver whom Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) enlists to help him.
