Five things you need to know about . . . Shutter Island [SPOILERISH]


1. Be forewarned: Don't believe your eyes.

2. No rats were harmed during the making of Shutter Island.  

3. Jackie Earl Haley has cornered the market in "little unstable dude".  

4. I think Scorsese won Leonardo DiCaprio in some sort of slave auction.  DiCaprio has starred in this one, The Departed, The Aviator, and Gangs of New York, and is rumored to star in Scorsese's next two projects -- as Frank Sinatra and Teddy Roosevelt.  Is there anyone DiCaprio can't play?

5. This movie is like 50% nightmare, 35% delusion, and 30% rainstorm.  Doesn't add up, you say?  Neither does this movie's plot.

Yes, as a matter of fact. There is someone DiCaprio can't play: Patrick Bateman. He was going to, however his price tag cost more than the entire budget.

Slave auction or not. If MARTIN SCORSESE asks you to star in his movie, are you really gonna say no?
