StudioSystem has Christopher Denham in the cast. Also, Bo Cleary, who played the Drill Instructor in The Departed, appears to have a part as well.

Thanks, Will. Denham was the falling violinist in The Key to Reserva.

Oh, that's right! He looked older in that one.

Arnz Thanks for casting news :) Any thoughts on what character Gary is playing....do you think he is the Warden ????

He usually plays cops, so I'd say he's more likely to be a guard.

Arnz Thanks for response....as I noticed in one of his pix at IMDB he had the required '50's crewcut' Besides ...as I mentioned to Will...I'm holding out for a suprise cameo appearance by DeNiro as the Warden :wink:

Thanks, arnzilla. He looks like a guard to me too.

In other casting news, Curtiss Cook has joined the upcoming Martin Scorsese thriller Shutter Island. Cook will star opposite Leonardo DiCaprio and Michelle Williams in this film that takes place on an island for the criminally insane. http://www.movieweb.com/news/65/27665.php Below is Curtiss' IMDB page...I guess he might be cast as Trey http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1478007/

Thanks, peanut :) Yes, he must be Trey.

I agree, seems likely he would play Trey. He looks exactly like I imagined Trey from the book.

Thanks "les mecs" (that' means "guys" in french for female and male) for all the new casting informations. Will : about Bo Cleary (good sense of humor on his website btw as far as ambience music is concerned :-)), I didn't have that scene on the TD DVD... maybe different editions ?

In guy's journal entry states he will be playing one of the mental patients.. http://drgeorge.livejournal.com/77016.html

Thanks, peanut :) Hope he reports back. I didn't have that scene on the TD DVD... maybe different editions ? Did your dvd have a section with deleted scenes? If so, this scene should be there.

Now we know who our Nurse Marino will be It’s no secret that director Martin Scorsese has a thing for working with box office biggie Leonardo DiCaprio. And who wouldn’t? Leo is in town filming “Ashecliffe,” his fourth flick with Marty. Hot on his heels is another Scorsese fave, Nellie Sciutto, who’s shooting her third (and a half) Scorsese role. “I like to think it’s not a bad place to be,” laughed the actress, who we last saw on the big screen batting her eyes at hunky Matt Damon in “The Departed.” Nellie also appeared in the Scorsese-directed “The Key to Reserva,” a short flick/ad for Freixenet champagne (that’s the half), and “The Aviator,” another Leo-Marty collaboration. “Leo is the best-looking character actor of our time,” said Sciutto, who is a big fan of her leading man. “He’s been acting for so long that he appears wise beyond his years. And he’s always been very kind to me.” Always a plus! Nellie, who was cast as Martin Sheen’s secretary in “The Departed,” Scorsese’s Oscar-winning Boston Irish mob flick, said she was disappointed that her Gal Friday role was pared down in the final cut. But in “Ashecliffe,” her Nurse Marino plays a pivotal role in the plot. So chances are, Nellie will survive the cutting room floor! In the flick, based on Boston man of mystery Dennis Lehane’s “Shutter Island,” Marino is “the overseer of all the crazies” at the mental hospital where a murderess, played by Emily Mortimer, has escaped. She’s hunted down by a pair of U.S. marshals played by DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo. “Nurse Marino is sort of a kinder, gentler Nurse Ratched who is kind of sexy in a weird way,” said Sciutto, referring to Louise Fletcher’s Oscar-winning role in the 1975 blockbuster “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” “In the 1950s - I did some research - the nurses ran the psychiatric wards, ran the group therapy sessions and ran the patients’ care,” she said. “The doctors would come by every couple of weeks and prescribe the medications. It was the nurses who did everything else.” Nellie is filming most of her 11 scenes at Medfield State Hospital with DiCaprio, Ruffalo, Sir Ben Kingsley and Williams. She’ll be here in town until June, she told the Track. And although her character is sort of creepy, Sciutto said she’s got a fabulous nurse’s uniform designed for her by Scorsese’s costumer, Sandy Powell. “It’s actually quite beautiful, ethereal almost,” she said. “It’s high-waisted and lower-cut than usual - the total opposite of that stiff polyester uniform you associate with nurses.” The only trouble Nellie had with the costume, besides someone telling her that red nail polish on a RN’s hands was a no-no, was the nurse’s cap. Scorsese, who likes to see photos of his characters in full costume before shooting, sent Nellie back a few times because he didn’t like the way the cap sat on her head. “I have a really small head,” chuckled the former Elite Petite model. “I mean, I’m not stupid or anything, I just have a tiny head. So they had to have a little nurse’s cap made for me. It’s about one-sixth of the size it should be!”
