'They were very sad because they just didn’t want that movie.'
The Big Picture Martin Scorsese, the nine-time Academy Award-nominated director, is unimpressed with Hollywood’s current tendency to rely on franchises. In a recent interview with GQ, Scorsese revealed that Warner Bros. asked him if one of the two leads in The Departed, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, could survive the events of the movie. “What they wanted was a franchise. It wasn’t about a moral issue of a person living or dying,” Scorsese said. “They wanted the franchise.
Scorsese then recalled a test screening for The Departed where the audience and filmmakers walked out ecstatic. “And then the studio guys walked out, and they were very sad because they just didn’t want that movie,” he went on, sharing his disappointment over Hollywood’s obsession with the franchise culture. Interestingly, even at the time of The Departed , this wasn’t new to him.
