A fan-led campaign to change the ending of The Departed has come to an end.
Adam Sacks, the man behind the Kickstarter campaign to fund a cut of the movie that does not feature the CGI rat, announced on Twitter that the campaign had come to an end after Warner Bros. alleged the campaign infringed on its intellectual property.
“In order to comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Kickstarter had no choice but to take down my project to digitally erase the rat from the end of The Departed,” Sacks wrote in his note on Twitter.
