THE A-Z OF MARTIN SCORSESE R -REMAKES AND SEQUELS While Scorsese’s films are shot through with his influences and homages, he’s traditionally been chary of retreading old material. His CV boasts only one sequel, The Color Of Money (1986), and that 25 years after The Hustler - hardly Transformers 2-style haste - with Paul Newman bagging an Oscar for his older, wiser ‘Fast’ Eddie Felson. His first straight remake, Cape Fear (1991), meanwhile, switched the upstanding Sam Bowden, played by Gregory Peck, for a much less likeable Nick Nolte incarnation, added an undercurrent of teen sexuality that would have given Hayes Coders a heart attack and unleashed a true monster in Robert Niro’s Max Cady. Of course, Scorsese wouldn’t remake a movie without tipping his cap to the original: in this case with a cameo by the original Cady, Robert Mitchum. Sadly neither Andy Lau nor Tony Leung pop up in The Departed (2006), a remake of their excellent Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs, but it does have Jack Nicholson chewing the Boston scenery, so we’ll forgive it.

Thrilling to Watch, Less Thrilling to Make - With DiCaprio and Matt Damon on The Departed “I had to work with the studio very closely. Screen it, argue, discuss it. I don’t know if it’s worth going through the process again. When I was finishing, I said, ‘I’m out of here.” Conversations with Scorsese, Richard Schickel (via Hollywood Reporter)
