FIRST LOOK: SHUTTER ISLAND
Martin Scorsese finally gets to do his version of The Shining.
Well, not literally. It's Shutter Island, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffallo as deputy marshals assigned to investigate the disappearance of a madwoman at a remote island asylum that houses the criminally insane.
Shutter Island
When I were younger, the first movies I were exposed to, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio were Titanic and Romeo + Juliet. It’s due to those two movies, that I think my preconceived notion of him developed. For years and years and years after this preconceived notion manifested, I could not watch a movie with DiCaprio in it and think his acting good… Until today.
Michelle Williams Shudders on Shutter Island

Scorsese/DiCaprio Visit Shutter Island
It seems a few months can’t go by without news of another movie from Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Finally……the trailer for Martin Scorcese’s SHUTTER ISLAND!!!
I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it until I read a novel that ousts this one: Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island is an absolute dynamite read, easily my favorite novel as of now, with many close behind it (Jack Ketchum’s The Lost a near second), yet still leading the pack. Not only is it written flawlessly, but the twists, while far from unique, worked me over and the permeating sense of paranoia and dread forced me to finish the thing within two and a half days, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to catch any precious Zs at night. I needed to know what was going to happen to my man US marshal Teddy Daniels.
Review: Shutter Island
We've come to expect Martin Scorsese to swing for the fences every single time he's at bat, so when a movie comes along like Shutter Island, a pulpy, by-the-numbers thriller, it's easy to feel a slight twinge of disappointment. Here, we're dealing with a lesser work by a modern master, which is to say that Shutter Island is still a crackerjack mystery, executed with great artistic care, but it's also Scorsese working about as close as he ever has to popcorn-munching cineplex fare. It's a hard-boiled and unpretentious outing, but the individual parts of Shutter Island are greater than the whole -- particularly the cinematography by Robert Richardson and outstanding work from a dream team ensemble cast.
Leonardo DiCaprio Set for Untitled Poker Film Revolving Around Online Casinos
Paramount has picked up an untitled pitch from Brian Koppelman and David Levien that takes place in the world of Costa Rica-based online casinos with Leonardo DiCaprio attached to star.
Scorsese, DiCaprio Follow in the Afflecks' Footsteps
Marty and Leo Grab Lehane: The Dennis Lehane film frenzy continues; following Ben and Casey Affleck's pairing on Gone Baby Gone, Martin Scorsese will direct Shutter Island, an adaptation of Lehane's fifties-set novel, and Leonardo DiCaprio will star. It is now clear that Martin Scorsese needs Leonardo DiCaprio the way Fellini needed Mastoianni, or John Woo needs two guys pointing guns at each other.
Paramount pushes Shutter Island Release Date to 2010
Paramount reached out to us to give us a little more information on this development telling us the new release date of the film’s opening to February 19, 2010. Plus we have an official statement from Brad Grey, Paramount Pictures Chairman and Chief Executive Officerregarding the date change:
Web Stalker - Bloggers See Scorsese/DiCaprio Shutter Island Trailer... Flee
Add one part Leonardo DiCaprio, one part creepy Gothic insane-asylum ambiance and two parts Martin Scorsese's bushy eyebrow and the result is ... the first trailer for psychological creep-out Shutter Island, based on the novel by Mystic River's Dennis Lehane.
Sweet 'Shutter Island' poster surfaces!
Scorsese’s ‘Shutter Island’ goes Gothic! Trailer and pics here!

Now this is what I’m talking about. I’ve just started writing a new column called The Weekly Creepy and as I was in the midst of preparing the first week’s review (up later today) this trailer surfaced. And this is the kind of thing I want to see when I go to a Gothic thriller; lots of dimly lit hospital corridors, gloomy gray skys, bodies dangling over cliffs and of course, crazy people that look like they might bite you. It’s been awhile since Scorsese has done a movie like this. In fact, I think it’s safe to say the last time was probably 1992’s Cape Fear remake. This one looks heaps better than that one, although there is no DeNiro to be seen.

Scorsese’s Shutter Island is Now Ashecliffe
For some reason, the Powers That Be have decided to change the title of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio’s thriller, “Shutter Island” to … “Ashecliffe”, the name of a mental facility in the movie where much of the film supposedly takes place. “Ashecliffe” has Dicaprio, re-teaming with Scorsese for the fourth time, playing a U.S. Marshall investigating the escape of a murderess who is presumed to be hiding on Shutter Island.

Sylvester Stallone Offered Role in Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island?
Has Martin Scorsese gone mad? The legendary director has apparently offered Sylvester Stallone the part of Chuck Aule in the big screen adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island!? Stallone hasn’t signed on the dotted line as of yet (but why wouldn’t he? It’s Scorsese?), but if he does come on board, he’ll be starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.
Leonardo DiCaprio filming Scorsese's Shutter Island
Leonardo DiCaprio has stared filming 'Shutter Island'.
The 33-year-old star plays the lead role in the film, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Martin Scorsese.
'Shutter Island' is set in 1954 and follows DiCaprio's character, US Marshall Teddy Daniels, as he searches for a female murderer who has escaped from a psychiatric hospital and is believed to be hiding on the mysterious Shutter Island.
Movie Preview: Leo and Michelle in Scorsese's Shutter Island
Within about 20 seconds of watching this trailer for Shutter Island, I had chills. By the time it was drawing to a scary, climactic close (and this is just the trailer, mind you) I was fully spooked. More than most frightening things, the idea of being trapped in an asylum (or a prison) as a presumably sane (or innocent) person disturbs me right to the bone.
Scorsese and DiCaprio: Together Again
Here they go again!
Variety reports that Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio will team for a fourth time on an adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s “Shutter Island.”
Production is to start in March.
DiCaprio, who previously starred in “Gangs of New York,” “The Aviator” and “The Departed” for the director, still has a way to go to catch Robert DeNiro, who has appeared in eight Scorsese films.
Lehane novels have been the source of Clint Eastwood’s “Mystic River” and Ben Affleck’s current “Gone Baby Gone.”
Other news of note:
Ryan Gosling has dropped out of Peter Jackson’s film version of Alice Sebold’s “The Lovely Bones,” one day before shooting was to begin in the Norristown area, where the book also is set.
His replacement: Mark Wahlberg. Wahlberg is getting to be a fixture in southeastern Pennsylvania, having just finished M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Happening” and having starred in “Shooter,” shot in part in Philadelphia, last year.

ee…Wonder If “Shutter Island” Will Be Creepy?
Okay, this is the first poster from Martin Scorsese and Leo DiCaprio’s next flick, “Shutter Island”. Judging from this poster, this movie is sure to scare everyone out of their pants. Not only that, it’s got an amazing cast featuring Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams, Emily Mortimer, Max Von Sydow, Patricia Clarkson, Ted Levine (Buffalo Bill!), and the greatness of Jackie Earle Haley.
There is no doubt Scorsese is going to freak us all out here. This is an adaptation of a Dennis Lehane novel, who wrote such laughfests as “Mystic River” and “Gone Baby Gone”. This story focuses on a US Marshall (DiCaprio) who is sent to find an escaped mental patient (Emily Mortimer…that’s right…a crazy chick!) that is responsible for several gruesome murders.
