Back in June of this year the first trailer appeared for Shutter Island, Martin Scorsese’s latest collaboration with favorite leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio. It was creepy-as-hell and solidified it on my list of most anticipated movies of 2009. Unfortunately a couple of months later news hit that Paramount had moved the release date from October 2nd this year to February 19th next year. As a movie fan – as well as a follower of daily movie news – that ranks right up there with the most annoying things to happen.

Update: Laeta Kalogridis is female NOT male. I apologize. Changes have been noted.

Dreamworks’ adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s manga/anime classic Ghost In The Shell has snagged Laeta Kalogridis to adapt Shirow’s futuristic vision into a live-action 3D blockbuster. Kalogridis has penned such past gems as Oliver Stone’s Alexander and the American alt-history epic, Pathfinder, but is poised to be a breakout name for HER work adapting author Dennis Lehane’s novel Shutter Island into a Martin Scorsese film, which will be hitting theaters early next year.

Jamie Moss (Street Kings) had been tapped to draft an earlier version of Ghost In The Shell – guess his take on the story didn’t go over so well with the studio…

A second trailer for Martin Scorsese’s adaptation of Shutter Island hit the Web a few days ago and we thought you’d like a (belated) look at it. If you haven’t heard, the film is adapted from the Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone) novel and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as U.S. Marshall Teddy Daniels, who travels to the titular island in Massachusetts’ Outer Harbor to help track down a murderous patient who has escaped from the island’s hospital for the criminally insane.

Of course, once Daniels and his partner Chuck (Mark Ruffalo) arrive on Shutter Island the proverbial you-know-what hits the proverbial fan, and it is quickly revealed that nothing – the island, the hospital, the missing patient or even the Marshalls themselves – is what it seems.

Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Paramount has pushed back Martin Scorsese’s latest film, Shutter Island, from October 2nd this year, to February 19th, 2010. The Leonardo DiCaprio-starring adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone) novel is the second high profile project to be pushed back from Fall this year to February next year. Earlier this month they moved The Wolfman to February 19th (a week before Shutter Island’s new date).

Today we have a bunch of new posters for you that have appeared online over the lat few days or so. They include posters for Saw VI and a new George Clooney film, Up in the Air, a couple of special ones for Inglourious Basterds, and a couple foreign language ones for [REC] 2 and Shutter Island. Check them all out below.

First up is the new poster for the upcoming next installment in the successful torture-porn horror Saw franchise, Saw VI. I’m not going to waste much time in saying this franchise lost what made it interesting long ago.

Today we have a trio of new posters that just popped online recently, they include the disaster movie, 2012, the Martin Scorsese/Leonardo DiCaprio psychological thriller, Shutter Island, and the millionth next installment in the Saw franchise,  Saw VI. One is pretty boring, one is pretty cool and one is pretty intriguing. Find out which poster match up to which description below.

The first trailer for Martin Scorsese’s upcoming film, Shutter Island, has been released by Paramount Pictures. Screen Rant has reported on a couple of Shutter Island posters over the past few months, but today we get our first look at the movie.

Adapted from the novel by Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone), Shutter Island is set in 1954 and tells the story of a U.S. Marshall and his new partner who are sent to investigate the escape of a female prisoner from a prison for the criminally insane. The girl is presumed to be hiding out on the remote Shutter Island where the prison is located.

Our friends over at FirstShowing.net have acquired some snapshots of brand new posters for some upcoming movies, spotted at the Cannes Film Festival. These are not new posters released online, but rather a couple released Cannes by small and big studios alike to gain the interest of keen festival goers – as well as to catch the eyes of international distributors.

For those of you who may not know, Martin Scorsese’s next film (currently in post-production) is Shutter Island. The movie is based on the novel by Dennis Lehane (author of Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone). It’s about a US Marshall and his new partner who are sent to “investigate the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from a prison for the criminally insane, and is presumed to be hiding out on the remote Shutter Island.”

Adding to that great plot, Shutter Island has a very impressive cast that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo, Emily Mortimer, Max von Sydow, Michelle Williams and Jackie Earle Haley, and of course having Scorsese behind the camera, this is really shaping up to be another winner from the legendary director.
