Up all night

"It's great news, great news. It's going to be a really great day.... I was totally consumed by it all when I was working on it. I knew that was the case when I went to Uganda. I gave myself over to the project and the character."
Forest Whitaker ("The Last King of Scotland")


"I have been such a fan and to play a part in one of his movies ... and in the genre I really love. It's a dream come true. It's actually funny, me and Matt Damon being from Boston we had so much more slang we wanted to use. Marty said he felt he would have to subtitle the movie."
Mark Wahlberg ("The Departed"), on working with Martin Scorsese on the movie, set in Boston
