Exclusive: Shutter Island Picture
Scorsese & DiCaprio up a tree...

Exclusive: Shutter Island Picture

It's Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio's fourth film together,which officially makes them Hollywood's hottest couple after Brad 'n' Angie. But Shutter Island is not just exciting because of that; it's also shaping up to be something of a stylistic shift for Scorsese. And here's a shot of Scorsese directing DiCaprio (as Teddy Daniels) and Michelle Williams as his wife.

Co-star Mark Ruffalo, who plays a US marshal alongside DiCaprio, said, "This could be one of [Scorsese's] great films. He gets to do everything he loves about film: noir, dream sequences, suspense, tough urban stuff. It's absolute madness, twist upon twist."


Scorsese himself has likened the film to Orson Welles' take on Kafka's The Trial, or Hitchcock at his weirdest, which sounds pretty darn promising to us. The film's out on October 9 in the UK and October 2 in the US. Next year's Oscar race starts here.

Cannot F'ing WAIT!!
This feels like it's been an absolute age coming.....! I urge everyone to read the book as soon as you possibly can and then just droooooooool when you think of the ways that Scorcese can play around with it! Also - Leo and Ruffalo are excellent choices for the leads.... (anyone who's read the book will be able to see what they can bring to those parts!) Come on - release it already!!!!! ... Read More
