"Departed" en route to FX

(news.yahoo.com) - Along with scoring six Golden Globe nominations last week, "The Departed" has landed a TV deal with FX.

The cable network has acquired Martin Scorsese's hit drama along with three other Warner Bros. films: "V for Vendetta," "The Wicker Man" and "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines."

Under a four-year agreement, said to be worth in the $18 million-$20 million range for all titles, FX will get "Departed" and box office bomb "Wicker Man" in early 2009, and "Vendetta" in late 2008.

The network's window on "T3," which already airs on television, will start in about a year.

"Departed" is Scorsese's highest-grossing film, raking in about $120 million to date. The crime thriller is an adaptation of the 2002 Hong Kong feature "Internal Affairs." "Wicker Man," starring Nicolas Cage, grossed $23.6 million in the fall. The Wachowski brothers' "Vendetta" grossed $70.5 million last year.
