Fans looking forward to seeing Leonardo DiCaprio track down an escaped prisoner on 'Shutter Island' this October will have to wait a little longer than expected.

Leonardo DiCaprio is among the most talented actors working today, and Martin Scorsese is not just one of the world's most significant filmmakers, but also a personal friend.
