  • Sir Ben Kingsley on Shutter Island

    Sir Ben KingsleyWe recently had the privilege of chatting with the lovely Sir Ben Kingsley, who is headlining the Sundance sweetheart, The Wackness, opening this Thursday. In it, he plays Dr. Squires, a rather troubled therapist who has an unusual relationship with a patient, with whom he trades is psychiatric services for pot.

    Kingsley is just finishing up shooting another part in which he plays a shrink, in Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island. "I play another psychiatrist, but very different from Dr. Squires. Very sober, very against the use of drugs in therapy, and also very against the use of surgical intervention in therapy," says Kingsley.

    He does have a patient to whom he's completely dedicated who is going through an extremely dangerous time -- the great Leonardo DiCaprio," he reveals. "He and I have some very, very strong scenes together."

  • Emily Mortimer on Scorsese's Shutter Island

    We recently spoke with Emily Mortimer (Lars and the Real Girl, Match Point), who is starring in a few upcoming indies--this weekend's Ryan Reynolds starrer, Chaos Theory, next month's David Mamet jiu-jitsu drama, Redbelt, among them.

    But even more exciting is Mortimer's mainstream turn in Martin Scorsese's next movie, the Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone) mystery/thriller Shutter Island, which is still shooting.

    Mortimer confirms that even though the movie is based on Lehane's novel, Shutter Island, Scorese has changed the title. "It was called Shutter Island, it's now called Ashecliffe," she says.

    "I play someone in an asylum for the criminally insane in the 1950s," Mortimer explained. "So you're an inmate?" we asked. But the bright-eyed Mortimer couldn't divulge any more. "It's complicated," she said. "It's a very plot-driven thing, so I can't give too much away 'cuz it will spoil the story."

    Sounds interesting!
