Warner Bros has been
boring audiences with their generic font posters for The
Departed. They first released the teaser poster and that created yawns
across the net. They followed that up with three character posters that,
surprisingly, used the same formula.
Well, it now looks like the studio is ready to clean up its ways with a
second, much better looking, set of character posters. This is Warner Bros
after all and we know how they love their posters.
(Better) The Departed Character Posters
The Departed is set in
South Boston, where the state police force is waging war on organized crime.
Young undercover cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is assigned to infiltrate
the mob syndicate run by gangland chief Costello (Jack Nicholson). While
Billy is quickly gaining Costello's confidence, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon),
a hardened young criminal who has infiltrated the police department as an
informer for the syndicate, is rising to a position of power in the Special
Investigation Unit. Each man becomes deeply consumed by his double life,
gathering information about the plans and counter-plans of the operations
he has penetrated. But when it becomes clear to both the gangsters and the
police that there's a mole in their midst, Billy and Colin are suddenly
in danger of being caught and exposed to the enemy – and each must race
to uncover the identity of the other man in time to save himself.
Below are the three new character posters for The Departed.

What do you think? Much, much better, right?
The
Departed opens to theatres on October 6, 2006.
