Another week, another Martin Scorsese post. In my last offering about the director, I exposed the shocking revelation that he made about his intentions to make another mobcentric movie. I know, I know. I'm barely over the excitement myself.
In my state of delirium though, I forgot to mention the main reason he was at the Berlin Film Festival. Mea Culpa. Scorsese was busy promoting the soon to be released "Shutter Island", a psychological potboiler based on the the book of the same title by Dennis Lehane. Here's the trailer.
Two federal agents travel to an island which houses an insane asylum to try and recover a missing patient. I have to say, it looks great. My only concern would be the casting of Di Caprio in the main role. Who knows, maybe he'll surprise me.
Shutter Island is released in the UK on March 2010

Stop the Presses: Scorsese to direct mob film
I know, I can't believe it either.
While being interviewed this week at the Berlin film festival, journalists asked the veteran director of such classics as Mean Streets, Taxi Driver and Goodfellas if he intended to produce another mobster flick. Scorsese answered in the affirmative to a collective sigh of relief from the crowd of journos. And you'll never guess who is attached to star. Bob De Niro. Talk about taking risks! Here is what the director had to say.
"De Niro and I are talking about something that has to do with that world - there's no doubt about that. We're working on something like that, but it's from the vantage point of older men looking back, none of this running around stuff."
