"Departed 2? I doubt it"
Teletext via Hollywood News
"Until I'm actually on the set it's not happening. It's about as confirmed as the Italian Job sequel, The Brazilian Job. Until we can make it better than the first one it's not worth discussing."
"I've never done a sequel before, there's only a couple I can think of that were as good as the first ones - The Godfather."

Mark on Departed /pre/sequel
USA Today
The Departed's Mark Wahlberg, on his high hopes for a sequel: With DiCaprio and Matt Damon's characters dead and buried, "we need to find some new good-looking guys so I can beat the (expletive) out of them."
Mark no Oscar
Well no Oscar for Mark, but The Departed got a nice collection (editing, adapted screenplay (it's a Hong Kong movie not Japanese Academy), film of the year and Scorsese finally beat Clint).
Lots of pics at the usual suspects: Wireimage, Getty or Yahoo. I only saw a short interview on the ABC preshow, didn't see him on E or on Joan/Melissa Rivers, but eh can't watch 3 channels at once.

A role of his lifetime
LA Times or for awesome pic South Coast Today
Nice to see some more indepth interviews asking him about his character and how he goes about acting, instead of the same rehash. Although a little notice about these things would be nice. I'm sick as a dog but I still managed to post this! ;)
Mark Wahlberg didn't need a speech coach to nail the accent of the Boston cop in "Departed."
By Richard Cromelin, Times Staff Writer
Surely, it was a case of first-timer nerves. Mark Wahlberg was overjoyed to learn he'd been nominated for a supporting actor Oscar for his work in Martin Scorsese's "The Departed." Working with the director, he said early on nomination day, "was just a blessing in itself, and then to have all this happen on top of it, you just kind of pinch yourself."
But did he call Scorsese to share his moment in the sun? Well, yes, eventually. Two days later, the novice nominee finally connected with his director by phone.
"I was doing a photo shoot and I had tried to call him and then he called me back," Wahlberg said. "And I said, 'Marty, I guess I should have worked with you before. I work with you and then, bang, they nominate me for an Oscar and all this crazy stuff happens.'
"He goes, 'Well, you'd think that a kid who got nominated for an Oscar would [expletive] call me the day after.' He's just such a funny guy."

Mark Interview
Time
Not the most in depth interview considering it is Time, seems like it was culled from a bunch of old interviews.
Bah, anyway if you haven't gotten the DVD for the Departed yet, here's a clip from Borders.

Departed writer Monahan on the sequal
AP via The Journal Gazette
[...]“A lot of people don’t like the rat at the end,” says Monahan, 46, who was a successful novelist (“Light House: A Trifle”) and journalist (as an editor at Spy magazine) before dedicating himself to screenwriting. “In the Jacobean stage, you’d have this tremendous bloodbath at the end of a work, and then the next thing that would happen is the clown would come out. And everyone in the theater would laugh and it would take the edge off the intense experience.
“I tell ya, people would leave the theater feeling a lot different if it wasn’t for that rat.”
