Martin Scorsese's * SHUTTER ISLAND * Original Movie Poster HUGE 4' x 6' Rare 2010 NEW. Huge Wall Size measures 4' foot wide by 6' foot high. Authentic Original Official USA Advance Theatrical Release Movie Poster for the highly anticipated February 19th 2010 selected Movie Theater release of the film " Shutter Island *. Shutter Island is a horror thriller directed by acclaimed director Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The film is based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Dennis Lehane. In 1954, two duly-appointed U.S. marshals investigate the disappearance of a patient from a hospital for the criminally insane on an island in Massachusetts. They run into trouble when they are deceived by the hospital's chief administrator, a hurricane hits and an inmate riot traps them on the island. Production took place in Taunton, Massachusetts to film World War II flashback scenes of DiCaprio's character, a former soldier. Scorsese filmed the scenes in old industrial buildings in Taunton's Whittenton Mills Complex, which replicated the Dachau concentration camp. Extras portraying the Dachau prisoners were called back to reshoot a scene in July, due to the film of one scene being damaged due to an improperly sealed film shipping container. Scenes were filmed at the old Medfield State Hospital in Medfield, Massachusetts. Originally, scenes were going to be shot at the old Worcester State Hospital, but the filming would've gone on during the demolition of the surrounding buildings, so filming was impractical. Peddocks Island was used as a setting for the story's island and East Point, in Nahant, Massachusetts for the lighthouse scenes. In Total Film magazine , Scorsese says one of his influences on the film was Orson Welles' 1962 film The Trial — an adaptation of Franz Kafka's novel — in particular its use of corridors, tunnels, claustrophobic ceilings, and angular lenses. He also discusses the importance of costume choices as an element of characterization, noting that a striking choice can leave a subconscious imprint of a character's essence in the spectator's mind: in Shutter Island, he made Dr. Cawley smoke a pipe, and in some scenes of the film he seems covered by a cloud of smoke, hiding something, with an aura of malice and mystery.
