Dennis Lehane news you can't use

According to Deadline Hollywood Daily, the Scorsese-directed adaptation of SHUTTER ISLAND has been pushed back from October to February, or in industry terms from "Oscar! Oscar!" to "Meh, I'll just stay home and Netflix." "Shutter Island" was originally supposed to open on October 2 opposite the Coen Brothers' latest, "A Serious Man." (It's also the first night of Sukkot, which may or may not be relevant to the latter seems like an odd time to open a movie with a Jewish protagonist and what seem from the teaser to be explicitly Jewish themes -- or does that make it the perfect time?)
