When Does The Departed Release in 4K And Why It’s The Perfect Time To Revisit
Take a look at these exclusive 4K stills from The Departed
The Departed may be nearly 20 years old but as Scorsese is currently in the running for another Best Picture Academy Award, it’s the perfect time to prepare to revisit the film that first won him the accolade. The whopping 10 Academy Award nominations for Killers of the Flower Moon have made Martin Scorsese the most nominated living director, but he’s only taken home Best Picture once so far. Though this edition of The Departed will be released after the 96th Academy Awards, it will be perfect for riding high on a Killers of the Flower Moon win or for celebrating the filmmaker’s last win in the category.
The Departed is one of Martin Scorsese’s best movies, and the 4K UHD release also offers viewers the chance to see it in a new way. The release contains the following new and previously released special features: Nine deleted scenes with introductions by Martin Scorsese and the featurettes “Crossing Criminal Cultures”, “Stranger Than Fiction: The True Story of Whitey Bulger, Southie, and The Departed”, and “Guilt and Betrayal: Looking into The Departed”. The latter of those was created specifically for the 4K UHD release of the film.
Viewers can enjoy watching The Departed’s cast and characters in high definition across a number of formats. It will be available in 4K Ultra HD on Blu-ray disc and in a Steelbook, which is ideal for completing a Steelbook collection. It’s even available in its new, higher resolution on digital.
The Departed
A remake of the 2002 film Internal Affairs and also based on Boston’s infamous Winter Hill gang, Martin Scorcese’s The Departed is one of the definitive crime epics. It follows Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), an FBI agent who serves as an informant for mob boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson), and Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio), an undercover cop placed within Costello’s organization. Both Sullivan and Costigan scramble to uncover the other’s identity in order to save their own lives from the wrath of Costello and his gang.
