Scorcese & DiCaprio’s Next Project
According to Variety:
Martin Scorcese and Leonardo DiCaprio will reteam early next year on “Shutter Island,” a Laeta Kalogridis-scripted adaptation of the Dennis Lehane novel.
Drama 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.
Scouting will begin shortly on the film, which most likely will shoot in Massachusetts, Connecticut, or Nova Scotia.
Lehane’s novel “Mystic River” was turned into a film by Clint Eastwood, and his “Gone Baby Gone” is the basis for the Ben Affleck-directed drama that opened this past weekend.
