Wanna #Ask DiCaprio and Scorsese Some Questions, Here’s Your Chance!
With DreamWorks’ thriller Shutter Island arriving in theaters February 19, the studio is running a pretty cool promotion that will give fans a chance to ask both director Martin Scorsese and star Leonardo DiCaprio questions about the film via Twitter. Want to learn how? Read on. Shutter Island is the story of two U.S. marshals, Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), who are summoned to a remote and barren island off the coast of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a murderess from the island’s fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane.
Launched tonight on Twitter is #AskLeo and #AskScorsese.
Users are encouraged to post a question to star Leonardo DiCaprio and director Martin Scorsese using the “Ask” hash tags.
5 questions will be selected for both Leo and Marty to be answrred at this coming Friday’s junket in New York.
Next week the selected questions will be ReTweeted (with a shout out to the user who asked it) and a link will be posted of Leo and/or Marty answering it!
Pretty cool, no? I wanna know when Leo is gonna do The Beach 2 and ask Scorsese if we’ll ever see Michael Jackson’s “Bad” in 3D (yes, I’m joking).
If you want to watch a fun movie, watch a Ryuhei Kitamura movie. Whether it’s 2000’s Versus, 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, 2008’s The Midnight Meat Train or 2022’s underseen The Price We Pay, Kitamura always knows how to deliver a wild and crazy good time.
Up next from Ryuhei Kitamura? Deadline reports that he’ll be directing Thrill Ride, which sounds a bit like the best parts of Final Destination 3… expanded into a feature film!
Deadline details, “the English-language film will tell the story of a group of people, including two young women, who are trapped upside down on a roller coaster taken over by a mysterious saboteur threatening to drop them all one-by-one to their deaths.”
Film Bridge International is launching the project for sales ahead of the Cannes market.
Chad Law and Christopher Jolley wrote the screenplay.
“Thrill Ride is exactly the type of high-concept based thriller that our customers are looking for in the marketplace,” said Film Bridge’s Ellen Wander and Jordan Dykstra. “With Ryuhei at the helm, we know his vision and execution will deliver thrills of the highest quality.”
“As a hardcore rollercoaster fan since I was young, I immediately fell in love with this script filled with suspense, action, crazy ups and downs, turns, loops, and corkscrews at maximum speed,” adds Kitamura. “I can’t wait to get on a ride and bring life to the wildest rollercoaster imaginable.”
We’re already seated. Stay tuned for more on Thrill Ride as we learn it.
