Scorsese Opens the Shutters

I've been a little worried about 'ole Marty Scorsese for a while now. Gangs of New York was a bit of a mess, and I definitely don't have the love for the Departed that plenty of other folks do. So he's got a new flick coming out soon, Shutter Island, an adaptation of a novel by Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone),

"in which Ruffalo will play U.S. Marshal Chuck Aule, who travels with his new partner (DiCaprio) to the eponymous Massachusetts island in 1954. As they investigate the disappearance of a patient from a hospital for the criminally insane, they encounter a web of lies, a hurricane and a deadly inmate riot that leaves them trapped on the island."

The film boasts an all-star cast, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams, Max von Sydow, Patricia Clarkson, Emily Mortimer and Jackie Earle Haley, and is due out Oct. 2. Here's a nifty teaser image:



Here's a link with some info, and if you're curious, I definitely recommend checking out this diary from the set.
