While talking to Variety columnist Army Archerd, Leonardo DiCaprio revealed that Jack Nicholson is joining him and Matt Damon in Martin Scorsese's The Departed for Warner Bros. when filming begins in April.

DiCaprio plays a cop who's been deep undercover inside the mob and is starting to come unglued. Each side works feverishly to flush the mole out, with deadly consequences. Nicholson would play an Irish gang boss, while Damon will play a gangster who has infiltrated the Boston police department as part of its cadet class and has been steadily rising through the ranks. A female costar is yet to be chosen to play a cop psychiatrist.

Nicholson says the role "could be interesting," and admits he's been "looking for a bad guy - I did three comedies". He hasn't been in front of a camera in two years, but has been friends with Scorsese "for many years and we'd been looking for something to do together."
