Martin Scorsese isn't letting Leonardo DiCaprio out of his sight! Hoping to work with DiCaprio on Wolf of Wall Street, the director has again put himself beside ol' Leo for Shutter Island.
Martin Scorsese to Direct DiCaprio in Shutter Island
Shutter Island, the adaptation of the Dennis Lehane novel, is being fasttracked by Paramount Pictures and Columbia Pictures. Both studios hope to have production up and running by March. Paramount will supervise production and handle the domestic distribution. Columbia Pictures is hoping to handle the international side of things.
Shutter Island is set in 1954, with DiCaprio in final talks to play U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels, who is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is presumed to be hiding on the remote Shutter Island.
The film will most likely shoot in Massachusetts, Connecticut or, hear this, Nova Scotia.
Scorsese and DiCaprio, who've now worked together on three films, were looking at several projects to do early next year -- The Wolf of Wall Street being one of them. The Shutter Island script quickly drew both director and star, and a deal is expected to fall into place quickly.
