Have you ever wondered what a film featuring an out-of-retirement Rick “Wild Thing” Vaughn mentoring a young baseball prospect would look like? Chances are, probably not. However, that doesn’t mean that the film couldn’t become a reality as Major League writer/director David S. Ward has written a film with a similar premise, and is currently in the process of reuniting much of the original cast for what he thinks of as Major League 3. (Let’s try and forget about that other Major League 3, also known as Major League: Back to the Minors.)
For many, this news is the first step in the necessary healing process after seeing Back to the Minors. For the second step to recovery, hit the jump to find out who else might return to the diamond.
Popular speculation views Antoine Fuqua’s picture, Brooklyn’s Finest, to be a re-hashed version of Martin Scorcese’s 2006 Oscar triumph, The Departed. The assumption is that both movies use the same formula (powerful casts, acclaimed directors, and crooked cops v. career criminals) to tell the same story. In reality, this comparison makes as much sense as Val Kilmer as Batman. It quickly becomes apparent that Fuqua has seen those other cops and robbers films, and has literally flipped the script.
The actors themselves best explain why Fuqua’s soon-to-be-acclaimed picture successfully reinvents the cops and robbers formula. In recent interviews with Wesley Snipes, Don Cheadle, and Richard Gere, the stars of the film explain what attracted each of them to the project, and what makes this film so unique.

In the course of one chaotic week, the lives of three conflicted New York City police officers are dramatically transformed by their involvement in a massive drug operation in Brooklyn’s Finest, a new crime drama from director Antoine Fuqua. Starring Don Cheadle, Wesley Snipes, Ethan Hawke and Richard Gere, the film captures the volatile and deadly world of one of New York’s most dangerous precincts through the eyes of the men and women pledged to protect and serve.
To help promote the March 5 release, we’ve been provided with 9 clips from the film and you can watch them after the jump:

The trailer for Antoine Fuqua’s new film Brooklyn’s Finest has just come online and I don’t believe what I’m seeing. By returning to the setting of his breakthrough film Training Day, has Fuqua made his first good movie since that film? And now with Ethan Hawke playing the dirty cop role, is he going to hold his own along side Richard Gere and Don Cheadle? It all looks that way because Brooklyn’s Finest, which garnered a positive response at last year’s Sundance Film Festival, seems like a pretty damn good movie.
