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).
