DiCaprio will play the undercover police officer originally played by Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Matt Damon will take on the role of the triad mole originally played by Andy Lau. According to Scorsese, "The Departed" will be "about the underworld in Boston. Irish gangsters and the police." The movie is scheduled to begin filming summer 2005 for a 2006 release.
