First Look: Official Still from ‘Shutter Island’ Set

Enough cannot be said about how much I am looking forward to ‘Shutter Island.’   I love the idea, that of a US Marshall arriving at a secluded mental institution on a tropical island during a hurricane to search for a missing murderess.   I love the cast made up of Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams,  Max von Sydow, Patricia Clarkson, Emily Mortimer and Jackie Earle Haley.   On top of all of this, it’s directed by Martin Scorsese.   What’s not to love about this film already?

Empire Online brings to us the first official set pic today.   It doesn’t offer much in the way of thrills, but just seeing Scorsese on set of a new film is exciting enough.

Check it out:

Ruffalo, who plays DiCaprio’s US Marshall partner in the film, has this to say about the film: “This could be one of [Scorsese’s] great films. He gets to do everything he loves about film: noir, dream sequences, suspense, tough urban stuff. It’s absolute madness, twist upon twist.”   Scorsese, himself, has likened the film to Orson Welle’s take on ‘The Trial.’

‘Shutter Island’ comes out on October 2nd.
