While Cook has been sworn to secrecy about the film, he's more than too happy to talk about landing the role. "First of all, I could not believe I was going to audition for Martin Scorsese," says Cook, who has project after project lined up including appearances on Fox's "New Amsterdam" and "Canterbury's Law" also on Fox. Then there's a role in Order of Redemption, starring Tom Berenger and Armand Assante. "Then, I get there and he says call me 'Marty.' I couldn't believe it." Just moments following his meeting with Scorsese, Cook got the call to pack his bags. "It's been surreal," says Cook. "I got my script the other day, with the warning not to talk about the film--but that's all I want to talk about!" Well, we do know the action/thriller also stars Busta Rhymes and Sticky Fingaz.NOTE: Rhymes and Fingaz are in "Order of Redemption" not "Shutter Island."
"I got my script the other day, with the warning not to talk about the film--but that's all I want to talk about!"He could talk to himself, isn't that what mad men are supposed to do. :wink:
ETA: Koteas is scheduled to film his cameo sometime before May 4th.
Young Leo & Aidan
We took the train to Boston on Monday, March 24, where they treated us to First Class! Great trip! We were picked up at the train station and taken straight to wardrobe. Aidan was fitted with some authentic “50’s” clothing. The tags were still on the clothes. He will be wearing shorts and a short sleeve shirt. They then took us straight to the set, where they commenced cutting his hair! I was worried at first, but they did a great job…not too short and very cute. I saw Leonardo walking around that first day. He smokes A LOT! He still looks very good. (He looks Great, actually for all my female friends out there). We got back to our hotel that first day around 8pm. It was a very long day. We were ready for a rest! The second day, Tues., we had to be on the set by 9:30 am. Car picks us up, takes us there. The other two children were given tutoring, so Aidan and I just wandered around for awhile checking things out, and we got to leave early and go back to the hotel. (He did not require tutoring, because he is in pre-school.) That day, Tues, I got to see Ben Kingsley and Max Von Sydow. On Wed, we started shooting. Aidan was dressed and then covered in fake blood. They took us to the set, (which is where the Turner Classics take place), It is estately and so beautiful, and placed the kids on the floor around Emily Mortimers feet. They took about 2 hours to do this. Then they commenced to pouring fake blood all over the kids. (The blood is Caro Syrup and food coloring.) It obviously tastes very good, because Aidan started licking it off of his face when they put it on him. Leonardo noticed him doing this and started laughing at Aidan. Aidan asked him if he could eat it. He did GREAT that day. And I got to talk to Leonardo, too! He came up behind me and started talking to the kids. I was starstruck for just a moment, then he was so nice, I had to talk to him. He is TALL!! And very broad shouldered!! He is Very Handsome.
