First Look: Leonardo DiCaprio in Scorsese’s Shutter Island

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Adaptation, Drama, Thrillers, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,

When Martin Scorsese comes calling, the stars show up.

For his first film since Revolutionary Road, Leonardo DiCaprio reteams with his three-time director for Shutter Island, another Boston-area set thriller from author Dennis Lehane (Gone Baby Gone, Mystic River). The story centers around a search for a criminally-insane patient from a mental institution.

Mark Ruffalo, Michelle Williams, Patricia Clarkson, Ben Kingsley, Jackie Earle Haley, Emily Mortimer and Max von Sydow all join DiCaprio for this adaptation. Shutter Island opens on October 2.

Martin Scorsese Reteams with Leonardo DiCaprio

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Thrillers, Casting, Upcoming Releases,

Muses can come in all different shapes and sizes.  Woody Allen has Scarlett while Spielberg has Tom Hanks.  For Martin Scorsese, his actor of choice has clearly become Leo.

The Academy Award-winning director and Leonardo DiCaprio will soon be reteaming for their fourth project together.  Shutter Island will follow their work on The Gangs of New York, The Aviator and last year’s winner, The Departed.

Shutter is based off a book written by Dennis Lehane, the same man behind two critically-acclaimed films: Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone.  The story focuses on two marshals who become trapped on a Boston-area island while searching for a criminally insane escapee.  (Lehane’s stories are primarily set around Boston.)

The movie, which starts production next month, already boasts an all-star cast.  Joining DiCaprio will be Mark Ruffalo (Reservation Road), Max von Sydow (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), Emily Mortimer (Lars and the Real Girl), Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children), Ben Kingsley (You Kill Me), Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain) and Patricia Clarkson (No Reservations).
