Shutter Island Watch -- Officially starts now

Whether this is the first official teaser poster or just some other form of slick early marketing for the film is inconsequential, honestly. All that matters is that this first look at Shutter Island (the upcoming Martin Scorcese-directed, Leonardo Dicaprio-starring adaptation of Dennis Lehane's amazing book) is fucking awesome. Proves that Scorcese and company are maintaining the book's permeating creep factor, which gives me those damn butterflies inside.



Yeah, Inglourious Basterds has definitely slid down to my number two Must See Film of '09.

***The folks at JoBlo (where this pic was initially seen by yours truly) made a point to reference Session 9, so being the massive loyalist to that film that I am, it's only right that I also call it out. Shutter Island really doesn't have much in common with Session 9, but their similar insane asylum settings is worth pointing out. Also worth pointing out that if you haven't seen Session 9 yet you should march your little ass down to Blockbuster or on to Netflix and remedy that. JoBlo calls it "grossly underrated," and they're not just blowing smoke.
