A straight up genre picture from Martin Scorsese populated with a strong line-up of capital “A” actors? Count me in sirs. Have a gander at the first trailer for Shutter Island, and feast on what 1408 should have been. This film looks like it has some real teeth. I’m duly impressed that Scorsese is aiming to play in this sandbox, and look forward to jumping right in.
Best to watch the HD Quicktime version over at Apple for full immersion.
man, that trailer looks sweet. can’t wait for this one.
*******THEORETICAL SPOILER, But most likely very TRUE***********************************************************************************************While this looks really good I’m thinking Leo is patient 67.
I”ve not read the Dennis Lehane novel this is based on, but I do believe you have seen one too many ‘twist’ movies and are probably spot on Swarez.
The film look great and I hope it doesn’t rely on that well-worn crutch, but the trailer strongly indicates that, does it not?
I’ve never been completely sold on DiCaprio as an actor; he’s good, but not great. This trailer, however, is chillingly magnificent, and I will definitely see the movie.
*******THEORETICAL SPOILER, But most likely very TRUE****************************************************************** Was that supposed to be a twist? I thought it was obvious from the trailer that Leo is supposed to be patient 67. This looks very interesting though. DiCaprio is the bomb diggity.
I wish I had not read those comments about the 67th patient. Spoilers but you guys are probably right.
Looks like we have a good movie to look forward to this October. Hopefully they will finally release Trick r’ Treat this October as well.
Shelagh: really!? Basketball Diaries, Gilbert Grape, Catch me if You Can, Aviator, Romeo & Juliet, Departed…
ok.
Oh, and the trailer looks fun.
Romeo and Juliet? Christ you have shitty taste in movies.
A) Never said R&J was good, just that Leo can act. Not everyone can do Shakespeare.
B) But yes, I do like Luhrmann’s take on a Shakespeare classic.
C) My favorite movie of 2007 was Jesse James. What was yours again? Oh yeah. Jesse James. Boom.
1) Most shitty over actors can do Shakespeare. Shatner is considered a good Shakespearean actor. So if your argument is that Leo can rise to that level then I don’t think you are helping your argument.
2) You would. That movie is fucking awful. As are all Luhrmann’s films.
3) Even a blind squirrel can find the occasional nut.
This movie is going to be fantastic. I can’t think of another Scorsese film that gives off this kind of eerie vibe. Definitely buzz-worthy.
The trailer looks nice and I like the fact that it’s set in the 30′s but if I didn’t know any better, I’d think this was directed by someone trying for something between “Silent Hill” and “1408″.
I’m definitely on board.
Yeah, it doesn’t seem like a Scorsese movie at all. I’m hoping that means it will be AWESOME because he’ll bring his ability to a genre he hasn’t really touched before.
That said, it looks scaaaaary and I’m still a bit wary of scaaaaary movies. *hides*
And for the record, Leo = great actor, Baz Lurhmann = awesome, and Romeo + Juliet = doesn’t suck.

Your objection is noted, but shall still be stricken from the record.
Doesn’t matter, the jury still heard it.
