Everyone always complains that Hollywood never makes anything new. Because it seems like every movie that comes out is a remake, a sequel, or a remake of a sequel. So we thank the movie gods whenever something new comes along. But sometimes? Well, sometimes they trick us. Sometimes what seems new is just another remake. Check out these seemingly original movies that are secretly remakes.
“The Departed,” 2006
The Boston crime flick by Martin Scorsese, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as an undercover cop who joins a gang, is identical to “Internal Affairs,” a 2002 Hong Kong film. The only difference is the location these movies took place. Motherf*cking copycats!
