Teaser Poster for Scorsese’s ‘Shutter Island’

I have to say of all the anticipated films coming out before the end of 2009, ‘Shutter Island’ has got to be at the top in terms of expectancy. Â  The idea of Scorsese doing a period piece about US Marshall in 1945 who goes to a mental institution on an island in the middle of a hurricane to search for a missing murderess just cries out “Must See Now.”

Ropes of Silicon brings to us today this early teaser poster, which was scanned into them by a reader who caught the teaser art in a local newspaper. Â  All in all, it’s pretty atmospheric and exactly what I expected to see from the film.

‘Shutter Island’ is set for release on October 2nd and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams,  Max von Sydow, Patricia Clarkson, Emily Mortimer and Jackie Earle Haley.   You can also check out the film’s official site, though there is nothing there, yet.
