Shutter Island Moved to 2010
Source: Deadline Hollywood Daily
This Shutter Island decision is now the second major studio pic to jump from Fall 2009 to February 2010 (after Universal’s The Wolfman recently moved off November).
I hear that Paramount told the filmmakers it doesn’t have the financing in 2009 to spend the $50M to $60M necessary to market a big awards pic like this.
I’m also told that, among the many reasons for the move, Leo wasn’t going to be available to promote the pic internationally.

I’ve said it before already on Twitter, but these people are fucking bastards.
You know what? I have to agree with this. They really are a bunch of fucking bastards.
