Shutter Island is an upcoming American thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The film is based on the 2003 novel Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane. Production started in March 2008; Shutter Island is slated to be released on October 2, 2009.
Plot
In 1954, two U.S. marshals Teddy (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck (Mark Ruffalo) investigate the disappearance of a patient, Rachel, from a hospital for the criminally insane on an island in Massachusetts. They run into trouble when they read a note Rachel left ('Who is 67') and realize that there is another, unknown, prisoner on the island. However, they are deceived multiple times by everyone else on the island, a hurricane hits and an inmate riot traps them on the island. Soon, a cryptic warning tells them that there is no escape.[1]
Production
Feature film rights to the 2003 novel Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane were first optioned to Columbia Pictures in 2003, but the rights lapsed back to the author. The author's representatives then sold the rights to the production company Phoenix Pictures, who hired screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis to script the novel for a film adaptation. The project was in development for a year. By October 2007, the project had developed into a co-production between the studios Columbia Pictures and Paramount Pictures. Director Martin Scorsese and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who had worked together on three films, were both attracted to Shutter Island as their next collaboration. Locations like Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Nova Scotia were scouted.[2] Production began on March 6, 2008.[1]
Production took place in Taunton, Massachusetts to film World War II flashback scenes of DiCaprio's character, who served as an American soldier.[3] Scorsese filmed the scenes in old industrial buildings in Taunton's Whittenton Mills Complex, which replicated the Dachau concentration camp.[4] Extras portraying the Dachau Prisoners were called back to reshoot a scene in July, due to the film of one scene being damaged going through Logan Airport Security. Scenes were filmed at the old Medfield State Hospital in Medfield, Massachusetts. Peddocks Island was used as a setting for the story's island and East Point, in Nahant, Massachusetts for the lighthouse scenes.[5] Filming ended on July 2, 2008.[6]
