Well holy crap I didn’t see this one coming! It’s not totally unusual for studios to change release dates. It is a bit unusual to changed dates by MONTHS when only two months away from it’s scheduled release date. Shutter Island just did that.
The new Leonardo DiCaprio film directed by Martin Scrosese has been hitting the marketing hard and had an October release date all set and ready… but today it’s been revealed that Paramount has moved the film to February 2010 taking the film out of Oscar contention for this year (something a lot of people seemed to think would be an early favorite).
No official reason has been given for the change.
So does this bum you out… or do you not really care either way? I’m personally disappointed… but I don’t expect a Harry Potter type reaction from fans either. (Source: In Contention)
