Did anyone ever think we would someday live in a world where Jackie Earle Haley is not only the star of and upcoming big budget comic book movie (Watchmen) but also be a prt of a Martin Scorsese picture? Did anyone besides me ever actually think about Jackie Earle Haley? This is Kelly Leak, people! Moocher!
Anyway, Jackie Earle Haley, Max von Sydow (always good), and Emily Mortimer (who I was a big fan of in Lars and the Real Girl) have been cast in Scorsese's mystery drama Shutter Island. They join a cast that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams, and Patricia Clarkson. The story, adapted from Dennis Lehane's 2004 novel, is about a pair of U.S. marshals (DiCaprio and Ruffalo) who travel to a Massachusetts island to investigate the disappearance of a patient from a hospital for the criminally insane. The two get trapped on the island when a hurricane hits and a violent inmate riot breaks out. Williams plays the dead wife who haunts DiCaprio's character. Kingsley is the hospital's enigmatic chief physician who reluctantly hosts to the two marshals. Haley, who earned an Oscar nod last year for his turn as a convicted sex offender in Little Children, will play an inmate at the hospital. Von Sydow will play a doctor at the facility, and Mortimer will play an escaped patient.
