In an interview with Empire Online, Mark Wahlberg addressed rumours of a possible sequel to Martin Scorsese’s gangster hit film The Departed: “They told me they wanted to try to do it and I said, ‘Well, I enjoyed playing the character’.”
According to Wahlberg, not only is the studio lining up a role for actor Robert De Niro, they’re also considering making a third film aswell: “They’re talking about bringing in De Niro to play a senator or a congressman. You know, the corruption obviously going deeper and higher up the ranks — reaching up the political chain. So it’ll be fun. And if it’s a success, they’re gonna do a prequel and bring everyone back… make it a trilogy.”

Recent rumours about a possible involvement of Jamie Foxx (Ray, Miami Vice) in the Batman sequel The Dark Knight can now be put to rest after the Oscar-winning actor’s reps have denied the casting talk to IGN Movies.

Either I’m experiencing an episode of Déjà Vu or I’ve read about this somewhere before-

I am a little leary of the situation. The truth will come out when, and if the US economy, and the dollar begins to strengthen. If prices remain high, you’ll know someone is lying. Either OPEC doesn’t have the supply they claim they have, or Analysts are incorrect when they say demand has decreased. Personally, I don’t buy the claim that demand has decreased. Population is ever increasing, so, the the demand should always be increasing.
