Love the book too, and the trailer looks fantastic.

Saw the trailer this morning, a bit of a departure for Scorcese? (sorry, couldnt resist! ) Looks good.

Driver 8

I'd steer clear of the trailer on youtube, it's already crawling with spoilers in the comments. People are so nice

Magic Eight Ball

I'm currently reading the book at the moment and if it's anything to go by I can't wait for the movie!

I don't even wanna watch the trailer untill I finish the book.

Book was class. Absolute class. Bought it in McCarran Airport in Vegas on my way home, thinking to myself, "Now, that'll do me for the two legs of my trip" (Vegas to Newark, then Newark to Dublin)... Had the bloody thing finished before we landed in Newark!!!!!! It was that good, I couldn't stop reading it for a second!!!

Sick of this trailer at this stage, and may very well not see the movie as a result.

Try to avoid spoilers as much as possible so maybe avoid the trailers.

Basically all you need to know is that the movie has two U.S Marshals (one of which is Di Caprio) investigating a disappearence of a woman from on an island hospital for the criminally insane in 1954. The marshalls start to get a bit suspicious as to how the patient "vanished" and whether or not they can trust the administrator and wardens of the hospital so its very intriuging

Sir Gallagher

The trailer is ridiculous, it gives loads away.

Dennis Lehane is an amazing writer. All his books rock:cool:

I think he's a pretty good actor but wasn't his accent in BD absolutely slated by South Africans?

Does anyone know if this is out in Ireland yet?

bnt

Opens here on 12 March (says Movies at Dundrum).

senordingdong

Been put back a few times now...no?

Corholio

To say this has divided critics in the US would be an understatement.

Ebert has said "No one who lives and breathes movies would dream of missing it" Giving it 3 1/2 out of 4 stars.

While the Chicago Tribune called it "classy, well acted junk" Giving it just 2 stars.

The NY Times also called it "terrible"

Should be interesting

Well so long as it was well acted.

BBC

Shutter Island, Martin Scorsese's new film with Leonardo DiCaprio, has topped the US and Canada box office chart with first weekend takings of $40.2m (£26m).
The dark thriller stars DiCaprio as a cop investigating a disappearance at a hospital for the criminally insane.


It had been scheduled for release last October before being abruptly bumped to February by its distributor Paramount.
Last week's top movie, romantic comedy Valentine's Day, fell down to two, with Avatar still going strong at three.


Worldwide, James Cameron's sci-fi epic has now made just short of $2.5

billion (£1.6 billion).
Shutter Island's better than expected performance represents a personal best for Scorsese, the Oscar-winning director of Taxi Driver and Raging Bull.


His biggest opener in North America before this weekend came in 2006 when crime drama The Departed made $26.9m (£17.4m) in its first weekend on release.



Paramount's vice-chairman Rob Moore has defended putting Shutter Island's release back, a decision that made it ineligible for this year's Academy Awards.


"We knew more time was only going to help us get the word out and get a broader audience," he said.
As well as Scorsese's film performed, however, it was trounced on a screen-for-screen basis by Roman Polanski's latest The Ghost Writer.


Opening at just four cinemas in New York and Los Angeles, the political thriller made $179,000 (£115,686) over the weekend - an average of $44,750 (£28,921) per screen.


In contrast, Shutter Island - which opened in almost 3,000 cinemas - made an average of just $13,440 (£8,686) per screen.
Polanski's arrest in Switzerland last year may have stoked interest in the title, which tells of a writer hired to "ghost" a former Prime Minister's memoirs.
Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan star in the film, to be released in the UK on 16 April as The Ghost.
Shutter Island is out in the UK on 12 March.

I saw this movie last night, and to be honest i'd have preferred if i'd stayed away from the Trailers. There are some spoilers in them, but really not too much.

Overall good movie - but i can see why critics are divided. Leo is excellent as always.

Handsome Bob

Awesome film, I really enjoyed it. For awhile the film was going along a bit aimlessly but the last 30 minutes or so are absolutely brilliant. It's embarassing that Paramount execs sat down, watched The Lovely Bones and watched Shutter Island, and decided that The Lovely Bones would be a better bet for the Oscars. Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo and DiCaprio are brilliant in the film.

I'm torn between seeing this and green zone tonight.

I'm a fan of both leading men so it's really a coinflip

Alicat

Can't wait to see this, it looks excellent Love Mark Ruffalo and Leo

Is this the opening weekend? Tonight's all booked up and Saturday is filling up fast

It is indeed, at least it's jousting with Green Zone, I'm sure both won't be fully booked. :eek:

humanji

Wasn't there a film back in the 70's or 80's set in an asylum in a castle, that had pretty much the exact same plot twist? Something like "The Castle" or "The Fortress" or something?

ultain

This will be solid enough I'd say, trailer looks inviting..

hitlersson666

Excellent!!!!! so alike the book and i loved it lol :D:D:D really good use of 6 euros

speedboatchase

Great film, loved the book and wasn't let down. Only complaint I would have is that 1. the hallucination and flashback scenes were a little drawn out and 2. the scene with Leo and the Warden was unnecessary. However despite that I think they handled the ending a lot better than the book and Leo was as usual, excellent. Very impressed with Jackie Earl Haley's performance too

Hogzy

Im not good with horror movies in general, i can deal with gore but what i cant deal with are jumpy scenes, ie quiet, quiet quiet quiet and BAMMM big loud noise!!!!

Are there any scenes like this in Shutter Island. And yes i am a big girls blouse!
