Early teaser poster for Scorsese's SHUTTER ISLAND

by Matt Holmes

Published in a Berliner Zeitung newspaper this week was an official but very early (i.e. a first draft of a better version) teaser poster for Martin Scorsese's psychological thriller Shutter Island. shutterislandposterThe movie follows a U.S. Marshal (Leonardo DiCaprio) who is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is presumed to be hiding on the remote Shutter Island. Michelle Williams plays the murderess. Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Max von Sydow, Patricia Clarkson, Emily Mortimer and Jackie Earle Haley round out the ensemble cast. The movie opens October 2nd and somehow I've managed to resist reading Dennis Lehane's 2004 novel upon which the movie is based, or the script that has been locked away in my drawer for a good year now. I wanna be fresh for Scorsese this time around.
