First Trailer for Martin Scorsese's 'Shutter Island'

Martin Scorsese will return to theaters this fall with Shutter Island, the story of two U.S. marshals, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo, who are investigating the disappearance of a murderess from an isolated island prison for the criminally insane. The film is set in the 1950s, and it could be a breakout for Emily Mortimer, who has been around forever, but plays the pivotal role of the murderess on the run. You would expect a great cast, and Scorsese delivers: von Sydow, Kingsley, Jackie Earle Haley, and Michelle Williams. Here's the first Shutter Island trailer, which gives me the same feeling as the recent teaser that premiered for The Road. They've made a decent trailer out of what, on paper, should be a great film. It feels boiled down to the most mainstream components.
Trailer courtesy of Trailer Addict Shutter Island opens on October 2nd.

well of course it feels different because it has nothing to do with the mob.

idot, scorsese doesn't just make films about the mob. He is the best film-maker alive and you think he only makes mob films. don't be ignorant. Does the Dahli Lama have anything to do with the mob? or how about howard hughes? Crazy comedian? A Taxi driver in a sea of lonliness? no, none of them you moron. He made Goodfellas, Casino, The Departed, and Mean Streets. Those are the only films of his that involve the mob. Raging Bull kind of, but only as a side thing. Those are 4 out of 15 films. all of which, besides Casino, where he is rehashing, and Cape Fear are in some ways great and always very good.

But it's different, this whole decade has been different for him. He has been going into great genre film-making instead of the auteur we know of from years before. Not to say that he isn't one know, I just think it is more about his style fits the genre instead of the genre fitting his style.
