What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Dennis Lehane's novel "Shutter Island" (2003).
- Initially, Columbia Pictures acquired the rights from Dennis Lehane to adapt the book in 2003, but after numerous postponements of the project's start date, the adaptation rights reverted to the author.
- Initially, producers wanted Wolfgang Petersen to direct the film, but later preferred Martin Scorsese.
- David Fincher was considered for the director's position.
- Peddocks Island, Acadia National Park in Maine, Medfield State Hospital in Medfield, Massachusetts, and the Rice Estate nursing home located near Turner Hill Country Club in Ipswich, Massachusetts, served as the basis. All of these locations were combined using computer graphics to create "Shutter Island." Large mountains were added during post-production.
- One of the paintings that Dr. Cawley shows as examples of mistreatment of the insane is "Nebuchadnezzar," an illustration to the Bible by the poet William Blake.
- Robert Downey Jr. and Josh Brolin were considered for the role of Chuck.
- The film's release was moved from October 2009 to February 2010. Initially, Paramount Pictures considered the film a possible contender for the "Oscar." However, towards the end of the year, it became clear that the studio would promote "Up in the Air" (2009) and "The Lovely Bones" (2009) for the "Oscar." The studio could not find the $50-60 million needed for an Oscar-focused advertising campaign. In addition, Leonardo DiCaprio was unable to promote the film at the end of 2009 due to commitments to other projects. As a result, the studio moved the premiere to February.
- The film earned $41 million in its opening weekend, which is the best result for films directed by Martin Scorsese.
- This is the fourth joint project of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio. Previous films include "Gangs of New York" (2002), "The Aviator" (2004), and "The Departed" (2006).
- In the film, Teddy uses a Parker Jotter ballpoint pen, which was released in 1954 (the same year the film is set). This pen was a huge success on the market (over 3.5 million units were sold in the first year of sales) and significantly challenged ink pens. After a successful start in the second half of the fifties, Parker Jotter pens dominated the market.
- To create the atmosphere of the film, Martin Scorsese sought inspiration from the zombie films of Val Lewton.
- To give the actors an idea of the film's stylistic look, Martin Scorsese showed them "Out of the Past" (1947) and "Vertigo" (1958).
- Originally, it was planned that Teddy's dream sequences would be filmed using a 65mm camera.
- The idea behind both the book and the film is based on a real place in Italy – Poveglia.
- The original title can also be translated as “Trap Island”.
- The execution of German prisoners by American soldiers did indeed take place in Dachau on April 29, 1945.
- In complex 'C', one can hear a patient whispering: “Stop me before I kill more people,” which is likely a reference to serial killer William Heirens.
- Shutter Island is an anagram of “Truths and Lies” and “Truths / Denials”.
- When American soldiers enter the gates of Dachau, an archway from Auschwitz is shown. This is an error, as the gate at Dachau had the same inscription, but it looked different.
- When Ted and Chuck went to Building C, the lights in the building flickered, even though all the generators were burned out.
- The pistol used by the Dachau commandant to shoot himself is a nickel-plated Walther PP. The filmmakers specifically chose the nickel-plated version to create a sharp contrast with the dark floor. However, the nickel-plated version of the Walther did not exist during World War II.
