Just came across The Departed, a Martin Scorsese movie slated for release in 2006 starring Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio. I was reading about Ocean’s Twelve and came across this article on Brad Pitt, in which he says:
All that Pitt, 41, would say about any immediate plans for himself and Aniston is he’s “going to dabble in producing for a while. “I’m producing Matt Damon’s next movie The Departed, and Jenn and I are putting together a movie for her.”
The Departed is based on a trilogy of Chinese action movies about a Hong Kong police officer’s battles with a charismatic gang leader. Martin Scorcese is directing.
I immediately thought of Infernal Affairs now that I have seen it. The IMDB page for The Departed is really scarce, but the story looks the same, and user comments in the message boards all seem to think it is a rip off of IA. Does anyone know for sure? Was there a Chinese movie called The Departed, or is this really a remake/adaptation of Infernal Affairs?

The Departed is the American remake of Infernal Affairs. If you look at imdb.com it says that the working title for the Departed is "Infernal Affairs."
