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).
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
