Paramount Pictures is pushing the release of director Martin Scorsese’s highly anticipated “Shutter Island,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, from Oct. 3 to Feb. 19 of next year.

The move means that the gothic thriller won’t be in Oscar contention for this year. Paramount has spent heavily already marketing its summer movie hits “Star Trek,” “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” and didn’t want to shell out another $100 million on advertising and prints this year, especially when it has two other releases — “The Lovely Bones” and “Up in the Air” — that it will also be pushing for Oscar consideration. The best picture category for the Oscars has been expanded to 10 starting next year, but apparently Paramount needs one that goes to 11.

Still, the decision is not without risk. Scorsese was told earlier this week that this was being considered and if it ends up backfiring on the studio, it could strain the director’s relationship and deal with Paramount Pictures and its chairman, Brad Grey. The move was first reported by Deadline Hollywood Daily.

“Our 2009 slate was green-lit in a very different economic climate and as a result we must remain flexible and willing to recalibrate and adapt to a changing environment,” said Grey in a statement.

Thanks to J, we now have HQ screencaps of the Shutter Island trailer. I’ve also added a new poster for the movie.

You may notice that I’ve been doing a lot of updates to the Public Events section of the photo gallery recently. I’ve replaced a lot of MQ pics with higher-res versions, and I’m also adding new photos that haven’t been posted before. This is an ongoing project, so keep checking Last Uploads – Public Events for the latest updates.

After a long delay, Blue Valentine has finally begun filming in New York. The movie is a romantic drama about a married couple, Cindy (played by Michelle) and David (Ryan Gosling), who grow in different directions. I’m so excited that Michelle’s working again! I think she and Ryan will make a great on-screen pair.

In other movie news, Empire Online has the first official photo of Michelle on the set of Shutter Island. The movie opens October 2 in the US.
