Movie Preview: Leo and Michelle in Scorsese's Shutter Island
Within about 20 seconds of watching this trailer for Shutter Island, I had chills. By the time it was drawing to a scary, climactic close (and this is just the trailer, mind you) I was fully spooked. More than most frightening things, the idea of being trapped in an asylum (or a prison) as a presumably sane (or innocent) person disturbs me right to the bone.
Leo Hikes His Pants Up and Gets Down on Shutter Island
Leonardo DiCaprio has been hard at work on the set of Shutter Island, immersing himself into the character's penchant for all-white clothing alongside director Martin Scorsese. The duo, along with the rest of the cast, have been causing quite a stir and some amazing celebrity sightings in Hull, MA, where they've been shooting, though they are hoping to wrap before the possible actors' strike. Meanwhile across the country, Leo's long, drawn-out basketball court lawsuit was finally settled out of court, so that must be a nice sigh of relief heading into a relaxing holiday weekend.
Leo and Michelle's Weekend on Shutter Island
Leonardo DiCaprio and Michelle Williams got to work on Shutter Island in Boston on Saturday where Leo was in head to toe white showing off his jazz hands and Michelle debuted her new extensions. With two of our favorites at the helm (and Scorsese directing) I'm excited to see them getting to work even though we have a long patient wait before it's finally on the big screen. By Sunday Leo was back in NYC for a little bike ride around town with beautiful Bar.
