Here’s the new trailer for Martin Scorsese’s next film Shutter Island. Christian Toto makes the point that it looks like he’s making a horror movie (or will there be some rational explanation?) As we’ve discussed at Toto’s site… it would be great (or greatly awful?) if the great directors would try their hand at horror films.
I don’t have the disdain (or at least the level of disdain) for Leo that some do around here. This looks like a good movie. Here’s the film’s official website.

SHUTTER ISLAND was a really good, really creepy gotcha novel by Dennis LeHane. I’m not sure how it can be effective with anyone who’s read the book, unless they alter the ending considerably, but if it’s worthy of the book it’ll be a very good movie, along the lines of “The Sixth Sense.”
Still, I must object to the face stubble. No man wore face stubble on purpose at that time in history. I suppose it’s necessary because otherwise Leonardo will look like a fifteen-year-old. But sheesh.
I’ve read the box and it is an awesome mystery book, it does however have really more of a thriller feel to it and if done correctly probably will come across as a horror movie.
On the Leah (I view him as a woman) DiCaprio thing there is a rumor that Scorsese is going to get him to play Sinatra. Let me say this in clear terms, if this happens I will drive to Commie-wood and committ great acts of violence on his person. I will not stand for a whiny, sniveling, she-male playing Sinatra. What’s next Adam Lambert as John Wayne? Oh god I think I just threw up in my mouth a little at the thought of that.
Leo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo? Could he have picked two more annoying lead actors? What, were Pauly Shore and Carrot Top busy?

Hi.
Stubble. Damn right. I think I underrated Mickey Rourke’s performance in Angel Heart because I couldn’t get past the awful stubble. Any cop of that time would have taken one look at his face and tossed him in the patrol car and taken him straight to the drunk tank on the assumption he was in the middle of the dt’s. And though the trailer looks good, I always hate it when a supernatural horror movie has a ghost appear or disappear in a manner too obviously an editing effect.
Thought I caught a glimpse of Brewmeister the Merciless. Leah or not, this is on the list.
Holy hell Crapio’s a bad actor. Honestly, that’s some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen. The grimace he makes when raising his cigarette at 0:19 looks like he should be in a 2nd grade play.
