As “Island” Opens In US, DiCaprio Reveals Dream Role
As his new film Shutter Island is released in the United States, Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio says their one role he’d absolutely love to play. In a nod to director and good friend Martin Scorsese, DiCaprio listed Travis Bickle, the lead character in 1976’s Taxi Driver, to be his dream role. While fans who’ve collected Leonardo DiCaprio autographs and Al Pacino memorabilia likely can only imagine the 35-year old playing the demented Bickle, Shutter Island, the fourth collective effort between Scorsese and DiCaprio, will look to make it’s own marks starting today.

The film is about the disappearance of a woman on the remote and ultra-creepy Shutter Island. Home to the criminally insane, DiCaprio’s character Teddy Daniels scours the island while encountering some less than desirable company. The film also stars Hollywood heavyweight Ben Kingsley and the up-and-coming Mark Ruffalo.
