"Shutter Island", the thriller mystery from Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese, is no longer among the Paramount Pictures' 2009 line-up. In a surprising move, the studio announced on Friday, August 21, that the theatrical release date of the movie has been pushed back from October 2, 2009 to February 19, 2010.

As speculations over the move built up, Paramount Pictures Chairman and CEO Brad Grey came up with an official statement. "Our 2009 slate was greenlit in a very different economic climate and as a result we must remain flexible and willing to recalibrate and adapt to a changing environment," so the studio topper reasoned.

Depois desta atitude vergonhosa da Paramount, é menos uma granda estreia (e possível grande filme) para 2009. Enfim, não nos preocupemos, visto que da mesma Paramount podemos ainda ver, em 2009, The Lovely Bones, de Peter Jackson. Pena que, depois do pavoroso trailer, só possa mesmo esperar deste filme um King Kong 2, isto é, Jackson a continuar a chafurdar no fundo do poço.
