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).

Dan Stevens is everywhere lately, from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to Abigail and the upcoming Cuckoo. We’re not complaining. Up next? He’s starring in horror movie The Ritual.

Al Pacino and Dan Stevens have both joined the cast of the upcoming exorcism horror movie from XYZ Films and director David Midell, Variety reports this afternoon.

Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”

Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”

David Midell and Enrico Natale wrote the screenplay for The Ritual.

XYZ Films is planning to release the horror film theatrically in 2025.
