“We may do another one, because it’s based on a Hong Kong film [’Infernal Affairs’], and there is a trilogy,” the actor said. “So we may do a sequel with a new cast, and a prequel and bring back the rest of the guys…They’re talking to Robert De Niro and a couple of other people. Anybody who is anybody wants to work with Marty.”
