Shutter Island

Premiere kino: 02.10.2009

Martin Scorsese fikk sin første Oscar sist han jobbet med Leonardi DiCaprio i filmen The Departed. DiCaprio på sin side har ingen Oscar enda, men har vært nominert 3 ganger. Jeg vil se denne filmen allerede da jeg hører disse to nevnt i samme setningen. Jeg tenker først på The Departed som var en kanonbra film. Etter å ha sett traileren tenker jeg tilbake til Cape Fear, som straks gir meg gåsehud. Dette bør være en film som er verdt hele billettprisen.

Plot

In 1954, two U.S. marshals investigate the disappearance of a patient from a hospital for the criminally insane on an island in Massachusetts. They run into trouble when they are deceived by others, a hurricane hits and an inmate riot traps them on the island.[1]

Production

Feature film rights to the 2003 novel Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane were first optioned to Columbia Pictures in 2003, but the rights lapsed back to the author. The author’s representatives then sold the rights to the production company Phoenix Pictures, who hired screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis to script the novel for a film adaptation. The project was in development for a year. By October 2007, the project had developed into a co-production between the studios Columbia Pictures and Paramount Pictures. Director Martin Scorsese and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who had worked together on three films, were both attracted to Shutter Island as their next collaboration. Locations like Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Nova Scotia were scouted.[2] Production began on March 6, 2008.[1]

Production took place in Taunton, Massachusetts to film World War II flashback scenes of DiCaprio’s character, who served as an American soldier.[3] Scorsese filmed the scenes in old industrial buildings in Taunton’s Whittenton Mills Complex, which replicated the Dachau concentration camp.[4] Extras portraying the Dachau Prisoners were called back to reshoot a scene in July, due to the film of one scene being damaged due to an improperly sealed film shipping container. Scenes were filmed at the old Medfield State Hospital in Medfield, Massachusetts. Peddocks Island was used as a setting for the story’s island and East Point, in Nahant, Massachusetts for the lighthouse scenes.[5] Filming ended on July 2, 2008.[6] Additional footage was filmed in Los Angeles and wrapped in July 2009.

In the magazine Total Film,[citation needed] Scorsese says one of his influences on the film was Orson Welles’s 1962 film The Trial — an adaptation of Franz Kafka’s novel The Trial — in particular its use of corridors, tunnels, claustrophobic ceilings, and angular lenses. He also discusses the importance of costume choices as an element of characterization, noting that a striking choice can leave a subconscious imprint of a character’s essence in the spectator’s mind: in Shutter Island, he made Dr. Crawley smoke a pipe, and in some scenes of the film he seems covered by a cloud of smoke, hiding something, with an aura of malice and mystery.

Cast

Release

The film is scheduled to be released by Paramount Pictures on October 9, 2009 in the United States and Canada.[10] Spanish distributor Manga Films will distribute the film after winning a bidding war that reportedly reached the $6 million to $8 million range.[11]
