It’s only a few more months until Martin Scorsese’s highly-anticipated (and unfortunately delayed) SHUTTER ISLAND hits theaters. The boys at CHUD got an exclusive look at the newest – and final – poster for the film, which is actually incredibly similar to the teaser poster. Only difference is the date and tagline. Oh well, it’s still a damn cool one-sheet. (Click HERE to see it in full.)
It’s 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston’s Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. He’s been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he wonders whether he hasn’t been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. Teddy’s shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals “escape” in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything – his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.
SHUTTER ISLAND stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Michelle Williams, Ben Kingsley, Elias Koteas, Max Von Sydow, Emily Mortimer, Patricia Clarkson and Jackie Earle Haley. It hits theaters on FEBRUARY 19th.
