I would suggest reading the book while you wait…Dennis LeHane is a heck of a writer…also did Gone, Baby Gone.

Bugger. I was going to meet up with a friend from New Zealand just to see this. On the plus side, maybe I’ll have more chance to see it with them then.

I’m also annoyed because this seemed like the film that would get Leo his “About Damn Time” oscar.

My last hope is that this does not become another repeat of Gangs of New York.

Damn, well that sucks. I was really looking forward to this one and Ninja Assassin to finish my movie year up.

Oh well, guess just one more reason to look forward to next year.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

This was my most anticipated film of the year. I’m super disappointed.

In reply to 3R!C. Without giving away too much, let me just say that everything went sideways.... and not in a bad way, but a REALLY good way!

DO NOT read the book before seeing Shutter Island. I read the book a while back after hearing that the movie was in the works. Although a good book, to me, it will ruin the movie, by reading it beforehand.

I’m really bummed, I adore Scorsese and this was THE movie of the year, for me. October looked like an amazing month for film, solely because of two movies: “Shutter Island” and “Where the Wild Things Are”, now the rest of the year looks a whole lot less bright, to me. I mean, I’ll live, but….. HOGWASH!!!!

In reply to Tomi. The last 2 films that Scorsese directed and DiCaprio stared in(The Aviator and the Departed) were both nominated for Best Picture, Departed won. its funny you should say it looks like Mirrors, I was thinking that it looked like the Shawshank Redemption meets the Descent (I know John would go ape shit crazy for that :P)

In reply to alkobyyossi. But the thing is 1st of all, SHUTTER ISLAND ISN'T COMING OUT THIS YEAR, and second, yes, I do think District 9 will be better than Shutter Island, because I've seen it, and so far it's my favorite film of the year, better than Star Trek, and better than Up. I will agree that if you took the premises of Shutter Island and District 9, I would say that Shutter Island SOUNDS better but its got a tough act to follow. FOURTH, I said "now that Shutter Island has been pushed back, District 9 has less competition", I was saying that if Shutter Island was coming out this year it would have a better shot at getting nominated by Academy voters than District 9 would have. Fifth! go see District 9 and tell me it doesn't deserve to even be considered getting nominated.
