We haven't seen or heard much about Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island just yet, but once the summer is over, it'll be one of those movies that everyone is talking about. Shutter Island is slated for release on October 2nd, but the guys over at Rope of Silicon have dug up a very early teaser poster with some basic teaser art that has at least captured my attention. Though, to be honest, I actually think this looks fake (even though it probably is real). I'm not sure why, it just looks like it was poorly Photoshopped, but maybe we just need a high res version. Anyway, I'm sure we'll see more from this soon enough. Check it out anyway!

Set in 1954, U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels investigates 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.

Shutter Island is directed by prolific filmmaker Martin Scorsese, of everything from Taxi Driver to Raging Bull to Goodfellas to Cape Fear to Gangs of New York to The Aviator to The Departed. The screenplay was written by Laeta Kalogridis, of Night Watch, Alexander, and Pathfinder previously. This is based on Dennis Lehane's novel of the same name. Paramount is bringing Shutter Island to theaters on October 2nd.

If is not an indie production, it's fake.

I'm sure the movie will be better than the poster anyhow. I think it's fake personally.

Even if this is fake that plot sounds like Scorsese is doing a horror movie...be interesting.

Laeta Kalogridis was nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst Screenplay for Alexander, and Pathfinder was absolutely horrible. I'm very curious as to what drew Scorsese to the project. Although, Kalogridis did adapt the screenplay from a book so the story was already laid out...

The design firm I work at design movie posters for Universal and Paramount - I can 100% tell you that this is fake. It's a fan made one sheet. You can tell my the amateur looking font.

It looks scary and influential if it's not fake.

oh god even DiCaprio, Ben Kingsley and Scorsese's Amazing talents can't make Laeta Kalogridis writing any good. That guy is a curse to all cinema. I seriously want him tortured for how god awful Alexander and Pathfinder were.

the book was amazing

The book is fantastic (by Dennis Lehane who wrote Gone Baby Gone which was also excellently adapted) and this cast and director is great so it should make for a great film.
Dan

It's definitely real, it was in the Berliner Zeitung newspaper. It's just not yet known if it's an actual poster or some kind of early marketing to increase hype.

I'm excited to see Scorsese take on some horror, but Kalogridis has me scared. I hated pathfinder...

Poster looks pretty cool to me, dont know much about the rest of the movie besides the people staring in it.

Emily Mortimer is the crazy girl, right? Everything I've seen her in, she's been a featherweight, optimistic, cute character. But I could see her pulling some Amanda-Plummer-in-Freeway crazy out of that little body. Great cast piques my interest (and Jame Gumb as the Warden? :-O ) This really seems like different territory for Scorsese. On paper, it doesn't sound so interesting. To those complaining about the hack writer, at least Lehane is co-writing it. The hack writer at least knows the ins and outs of the current production system. Anyone know if this will be in color or b&w?
