#22. Ashecliffe (aka Shutter Island)
Director: Martin Scorsese
Writers: Laeta Kalogridis (Alexander)
Producers: Brad Fischer, Mike Medavoy, Arnold Messer and Scorsese
Distributor: Paramount Pictures
The Gist: Laeta Kalogridis adapted the screenplay based on a novel by Dennis Lehane, Shutter Island refers to an island in Boston’s Outer Harbor that houses a federal institution for the criminally insane.
Fact: Leo and Marty have now worked on 4 films together!
See It: After many years of filmming in NYC, Boston appears to be the new mean streets as is the case with this period piece which includes Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley and Patricia Clarkson.
Release Date/Status?: Currently in pre-production, this should be starting very soon (I imagine Michelle Williams might drop out) and Paramount might fill their October slot with the picture or keep it for safe keeping for 09′.
