DELICIOUS
STUMBLEUPON
REDDIT
It has been confirmed to TheMovieBanter.com that Shutter Island has been pushed to February 2010. An interesting move if you ask me. I have one theory why this happened. This movie is going to suck.
Now if you watch the trailer, the movie looks like a pretty standard suspenseful horror movie where the employees of a bizarre institutional facility are secretly cahooting together to hurt patients. Basically, something you’d expect to see fellow Wash U grad Peter Sarsgaard in.
I remember sitting in theaters a couple weeks ago, for The Hurt Locker
, and the trailer for Shutter Island popped up. My buddy leaned over next to me and said, that looks awesome. I looked at him and said, that movie looks awful – he subsequently gave me an “are you insane” glance. That person knows who they are. Anyways, the basis for him saying “that looks awesome” was entirely on the fact that Martin Scorsese is directing it and Leo is starring in it. Well, both of those guys probably now regret making the film.
By being pushed to February 2010, Shutter Island complete misses the Oscar season. Was that strategically done? Hmmmm, probably. Most February premiering movies are sort of lost as well. At that time, people are pretty much only seeing Oscar buzz’d movies. Shutter Island will probably just get lost in the Oscar fog.
Flight from Ashiya movie Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back trailer Leo should not have done this movie and Scorsese should not have made it.
Will this impact any of their careers? No, they are both legends. But it will be interesting to see if this movie does in fact suck
What do you think?
