Shutter Island premiere in New York City. The premiere will be held on Feb. 17 at the Ziegfeld Theatre, 141 W 54th St, at 7:30 pm. Red Carpet arrivals will most like begin between 6 and 6:30 pm. The film’s director, Martin Scorsese, is expected to be in attendance along with cast members, Leonardo Dicaprio, Michelle Williams, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Emily Mortimer, Patricia Clarkson and Max Von Sidow.
Shutter Island is about U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) and his investigation of the disappearance of a murderess, who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is presumed to be hiding on the remote Shutter Island in 1954.
The movie wasn’t filmed on an island at all but was actually filmed at the Medfield State Hospital (which closed in 2003), 45 Hospital Rd, Medford, MA. You can see photos from our visit to the Shutter Island set in 2008 (which was known as Ashecliffe back then) here. Its obvious why Scorsese chose this particular hospital, it was scary enough in the middle of the day without any “movie magic”, we can’t imagine what its going to look like on the big screen!
You can learn about the movie and order tickets to see it in a theater near you at the official Shutter Island website.
Any info on the After Party?
All the announcements I found said there was no after party, but who knows?
