The 100% complete, first post-Academy Award winning Martin Scorsese movie - the psychological mind-fuck insane asylum, potentially mainstream/oscar worthy Leonardo DiCaprio and his famous friends thriller - has been delayed by six months. 

The long projected Oct. 2nd 2009 opening, now becomes Feb 19th 2010. The movie severely cuts down the Oscar chances of a film that really did seem like it could be a serious contender for several categories, despite it's attractiveness to the average movie-goer, it's lack of a deep resonant theme and it's sole goal to entertain whilst creeping you the hell out.

Apparently the move has nothing to do with the quality of the picture according to Nikki Finke, as the film has scored very high at test screenings, the trailer has kicked up a storm online, the movie has genuine heat and interest (two people from my walk of life who wouldn't read my site or one of my peers if I paid them have told me several times the movie looks immense) and well when does Scorsese ever let you down?

The delay is all about the money. Finke's Paramount source says...
I hear that Paramount told the filmmakers it doesn't have the financing in 2009 to spend the $50M to ...]]></description>

This Japanese poster for Martin Scorsese's October released Shutter Island is something not of this time. Nothing about it screams a 2009 release. I think it's fantastic.

If it wasn't for the fact that cinematographer Robert Richardson, whose incredibly lush work on Inglourious Basterds and the ambitious shots (particularly that one over a cliff) from the AMAZING trailer for this picture had worked his magic on this film too, I maybe would have been disappointed at this point that Scorsese hadn't shot it in black and white.

Creepy and cool poster, and once again proves that movie marketing always seem to look better in Japanese. Even The Ugly Truth seems more interesting.

Of course Shutter Island wouldn't make a dime if that was the one-sheet in our theatres because truly, it's a dud for profits. Star power is so much more important in this country, which is why Leonardo DiCaprio's head takes over most of ours...



Scorsese's got a new picture out in October. Are you excited?

		<description><![CDATA[My time on the internet has been so small lately that it's taken me the best part of a week to talk about the trailer for Shutter Island, the knock your balls off creepy B-movie esque trailer for Martin Scoresese's latest movie with Leonardo DiCaprio, which looks absurdly brilliant. I can't tell you how much I'm loving this feeling that is coming back to directors right now, the bug that caught Sam Raimi recently with his nostalgic and over the top fun Drag Me To Hell has hit Scorsese big time.

This looks to be his most "out there" movie since Cape Fear.



And Robert Richardson, a name most people won't know but whose cinematography you will have appreciated in Kill Bill, Casino and Scorsese's own The Aviator and Bringing Out the Dead... looks to be on another level right here. How gorgeous does this movie look?



Like De Niro in years past, when DiCaprio teams up with Marty he is like a different actor and he looks great here. My favourite line of the trailer is when he is on the ship out there, doing the "for the criminally insane" line, which reminds me so much of what Peter Jackson did with ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When news broke on 13.05.09 that Martin Scorsese, a master statesman of biopics with Raging Bull being the best ever (who wants to argue that?) and The Last Temptation of Christ (yes a biopic of Christ) and The Aviator being stellar efforts, was to undertake a re-telling of the glorious life of Frank Sinatra there was only one actor we all expected to end up with the gig. 



Leonardo DiCaprio, naturally.



He has been Scorsese's 21st century muse and has worked with the actor on four movies straight and just like a by-gone era when everybody expected Robert De Niro to star in the new Scorsese movie, everyone now-a-days expects DiCaprio to follow Marty. And I dare say even Scorsese thought so himself when he first became interested in the project. 

However Universal, the studio that has acquired Field of Dreams screenwriter Phil Alden Robinson's script for the appropriately titled Sinatra for Scorsese to direct are said to be keen on someone else and Scorsese may be easy to sway their way given the caliber of the actor. Nikki Finke say after being so impressed by his period performance as notorious gangster John Dillinger in Public Enemies (released 01.07.09), the studio are hellbent on wanting Johnny Depp to fill the boots ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How does Daniel Day-Lewis re-teaming with his GANGS OF NEW YORK director Martin Scorsese sound?

Variety say the legendary director is "determined" to make an adaptation of Shusaku Endo's novel SILENCE as his next movie and is aggressively pursuing Day-Lewis to lead. 

If Scorsese gets his way, Benicio del Toro and THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES actor Gael Garcia Bernal (who both played Che Guevara recently) will co-star for what already is a cast of epic size. 

We were told of Scorsese's interest in making the film back in Sept. 2006 based on a script written by his writer on GANGS OF NEW YORK and THE AGE OF INNOCENCE...
The story is set in sixteenth century Japan and deals with Japanese feudal lords, the persecution of Christians, the torturing of priests, and dangerous journeys.
The movie is expected to begin production later this year with New Zealand being disguised as Japan. 

You weren't sure of American and English actors starring as Nazi's in VALKYRIE? How about actors from the West playing Japanese feudal lords? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Martin Scorsese is adding another potential directing vehicle to his proposed list of projects once he has done filming his upcoming movie SHUTTER ISLAND.

Production Weekly have Scorsese's name listed to direct THE FALCON'S TALE which /film have rigorously reasearched as belonging to Playboy, Paramount and GK Films. James Keane and author/reporter Hillel Levin's article “The Strange Redemption of James Keene”, appeared in the August 2008 issue of Playboy on page 54.



A book adaptation is due out in the fall of 2009 and this must be the story Scorsese has attached himself too...
“James Keene was serving a 10-year-to-life sentence as a convicted drug dealer when the FBI came to him with an amazing offer. They wanted him to enter a high-security prison for the criminally insane in order to get information from a suspected serial killer awaiting retrial. If he helped them succeed, they would free James from prison. Only one person in the prison would know Jim’s true identity.”
So it's a little like the mole plot of THE DEPARTED.

Naturally, William Monahan, the Academy Award winning scribe of THE DEPARTED will write the adaptation.

Doesn't that sound interesting? Not sure about the title though. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Japanese legendary director Akira Kurosawa's excellent crime movie HIGH AND LOW is being remade over at Miramax.

The astonishing original movie, one of my favourite Kurosawa films is about a ransom demand from kidnappers who mistakenly captured the wrong son (they got the driver's instead!) leaving their original target, a businessman, with the moral dilemma of how much you would value a stranger's life. Is it worth greater than your whole life's work?

It's a great, great movie, which recently got the Criterion Collection treatment and Mike Kaminski gave it and astonishing 5 star review here.

Which is why I'm surprised it has taken Hollywood so long to come knocking.



Variety say that Mike Nichols (CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR, CLOSER) has been tapped up by Miramax to direct a remake of the Kurosawa classic. He will be working from a screenplay by the great playwright David Mamet, a script that has been shelved since 1999 when then producer Scott Rudin and executive producer Martin Scorsese hit legal trouble from Kurosawa's estate when trying to make a Hollywood version of the tale.

Legal trouble is something you want to avoid with Kurosawa. Virtually all of Sergio Leone's money from making A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS in the mid ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After failing to get THE WINTER OF FRANKIE MACHINE off the ground last year, Martin Scorsese is plotting another project which could mark a high profile reunion with his famous collaborator Robert De Niro for the first time since 1995's CASINO.

Variety say Scorsese will direct I HEARD YOU PAINT HOUSES at Paramount from a script by Steve Zaillian, the guy who Scorsese trusted with his life long passion project GANGS OF NEW YORK.

He's also the guy that Scorsese hired for SCHLINDER'S LIST before Marty instead did CAPE FEAR with De Niro and handed the project to Spielberg. Zaillian most recently wrote AMERICAN GANGSTER.

The movie is based on Charles Brandt's true crime book...


Pic’s title refers to mob slang for contract killings, and the resulting blood splatter on walls and floors. Book was written by Charles Brandt, who befriended Sheeran shortly before the latter’s death in 2003. Among the crimes Sheeran confessed to Brandt, according to the 2004 book, was the killing and dismemberment of Hoffa, carried out on orders from mob boss Russell Bufalino.
Even though THE WINTER OF FRANKIE MACHINE is no longer a Scorsese project, it's still in the hands of De Niro who is expected to make the movie ...]]></description>

Available at Amazon for $18.99

I'm a Beatles guy, but that doesn't stop me from tipping my cap to the astonishing accomplishments of The Rolling Stones. Easily the most important rock act in history (The Beatles are, in my opinion, the most important band, period. But they are decidedly pop), The Stones have outlasted and outperformed everyone around them for forty years. Their enormous catalogue contains five of the best guitar riffs in history. All of this, despite having a lead singer who sounds like a cat getting fisted.

While there have been other live performance films from the band in the past, none have been crafted by a visionary director - until now. Martin Scorsese, fresh from his unearned Oscar for The Departed, has created a lush and very slick film around a two day benefit performance from the band. The set is playful, focusing on blusier selections from the past. With effortless abandon, the band is electrifying even after all of the years and the mileage. Stoic Charlie Watts still swats a terrific beat, while guitarists Ron Wood and Keith Richards rip familiar, legendary riffs from their guitars. Mick Jagger, all lean muscle and rooster posturing, provides the faux-blues caterwauling ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are 18 months away from seeing Martin Scorsese's first ever feature film as a Oscar winning director but it's ok to get excited. After all, if you can't get excited for a Scorsese picture then when the hell can ya?

The Boston Herald carry our first look at Ashecliffe, set in the 50's and based on Dennis Lehane's crime novel Shutter Island about a U.S. Marshal (Leonardo DiCaprio) 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.

Can't wait to see what Scorsese has done with DiCaprio this time around. Leo has been growing from the naviety of his acting in Gangs of New York, to a measured performance as Howard Hughes in The Aviator all the way to a truly great cinematic performance in The Departed, cruelly dissed at the Oscars.

And just wait until you hear the rest of the cast...

Mark Ruffalo, Michelle Williams, Ben Kingsley, Emily Mortimer, Max von Sydow, Jackie Earle Haley, Patricia Clarkson and Elias Kosteas. Ok.. so if you take away Kingsley, they might not be the most recognisable faces on film these days to the average ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Martin Scorsese's reawakening to the music industry which has seen him helm terrific and very personal documentaries on Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones, sadly won't be followed up with a Bob Marley documentary.

Variety say Scorsese's schedule on his next thriller Shutter Island has forced him to pull out at the last minute. Silence of the Lambs helmer Jonathan Demme who himself just made the documentary Jimmy Carter Man From Plains will take over.

He is a big music fan himself, with a Neil Young doc - Storefront Hitchcock - a Talking Heads concert movie titled Stop Making Sense and music vid's for artists Bruce Springsteen and The Pretenders on his CV.

The documentary will be produced by the Bob Marley estate and has a target release date set for February 6th, 2010 which is the day the legendary singer would have turned 65 if he were still with us today.
"I am thrilled and humbled by this extraordinary opportunity to participate in fashioning a motion picture that can serve as a worthy vessel for the spiritual and musical brilliance of Bob Marley," Demme said in a statement.
A feature biopic is also expected from the Weinsteins who own the rights to a biopic ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GK Films, Johnny Depp's Infinitum Nihil and Warner Bros. couldn't wait forever for Martin Scorsese to get round to filming their hotly anticipated kids fantasy adaptation of The Invention of Hugo Cabret.

The Oscar winning director was linked with the movie last February but Scorsese has made it clear he is interested in other projects, so the studios have looked elsewhere and hired Ice Age helmer Chris Wedge.

He will direct from a script by John Logan (The Aviator, Sweeney Todd)...


King and Infinitum Nihil's Christi Dembrowski will produce the live-action film, which centers on an orphaned boy who secretly lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station and looks after the clocks. He gets caught up in a mystery adventure when he attempts to repair a mechanical man.
The book has some terrific reviews and is reviewed by once such Amazon customer as...
It's part graphic novel, part mystery, part coming-of-age. There are echoes of Pinocchio but with a twist as here it is a lonely boy building an automaton father figure.

This is a timeless book about, among other things, time. This is a book for the ages, and a book for all ages. The story, the artwork, the writing style, the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Martin Scorsese's highly anticipated follow-up to his Academy Award winning film The Departed will begin production in two weeks time and just as Scorsese has liked to do recently, he is once again filling his cast with several great actors in supporting roles.

Though Paramount's Shutter Island is still someway from matching the truly incredible cast that made his last movie one of the best ensembles I have ever seen on screen.

The Hollywood Reporter say that Emily Mortimer (an escaped patient), Jackie Earle Haley (an inmate) and the legendary Max Von Sydow (hospital physician) have all joined the film which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo as two U.S. marshals who travel to a Massachusetts island to investigate the disappearance of a criminally insane patient.

Ben Kingsley, Patricia Clarkson and Michelle Williams (in her first role since the death of Heath Ledger) round out the rest of the cast, all of which have been signed on for some weeks now.

The movie kinda sounds like it will end up being a mix between The Wicker Man and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest but that is completely coming from someone who has never read the novel. The author of the book for Shutter ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes I'm lazy, i've just stole Variety's headline but it's the only thing I could come up. I will try harder next time.

Martin Scorsese is not just getting a second wind with his awesome feature films this century but he's re-finding his love for music too.

Some of the best reviewed documentaries recently have been Scorsese's docs on Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones and he has set his sights on Bob Marley next, with a new project that has been fully authorized by Marley's estate and is set for a release on February 6th 2010, on what would have been the singer's 65th birthday.
"I am thrilled that the Marley family will finally have the opportunity to document our father's legacy and are truly honored to have Mr. Scorsese guide the journey," son Ziggy Marley said.
For those who don't watch documentaries, I can't recommend Scorsese's Dylan biopic enough. The best look at the man I have ever seen, way more impressive that I'M NOT THERE, though that is still a decent movie if rather confused movie.

Marley should make for an interesting 2 hour look into his life. First though Scorsese has to direct his next masterpiece with DiCaprio. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The next movie from Martin Scorsese has for an undisclosed reason suffered (that being the operative word here) a name change from the original SHUTTER ISLAND (which is the name of the 2003 Denis Lehane book it is based upon) to ASHECLIFFE. It's unknown at this time why Paramount went ahead and changed the name but we do know where it originates.

ASHECLIFFE is the name of the asylum that is located on the fictional Island on the harbour of Boston, where in the film U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from the hospital and is believed to be hiding somewhere on the Island.

It's unknown at this time whether Michelle Williams is still on board after the events of the last week, but there's nothing officially confirmed at this time. Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley and Patricia Clarkson as we've previously reported are all cast, making their debuts in a Scorsese picture.

Love the idea of the movie and Scorsese giving us a straight out serial killer thriller in the vain of his CAPE FEAR remake is exciting but ASHECLIFFE. What is up that that title Marty?

The movie should film in March and will be ...]]></description>

Review by Matt Holmes 

I don't think any words that I can articulate will do this movie justice. Martin Scorsese has nailed it. The Departed truly has to be up their with any work the legendary director has ever done (no small statement), man you know I hate it that Scorsese's best work in years is the crime genre because contrary to what most critics say... he is much more than a crime director but fuck it, THIS FILM IS AWESOME.

Worried, anxious, sweating on this remake of the 2002 Hong Kong flick Infernal Affairs was I for many months but I should have known better when it was one of the greatest living directors at the helm. This is not a basic retread. It's not just a hack remake job for a quick buck which we are too often given with new sheens ...]]></description>
