Calvin Reid in Publishers Weekly reported yesterday that Tokyopop is working with HarperCollins to release a graphic novel adaptation of Shutter Island, a 2003 thriller by Dennis Lehane. The adaptation is written by Christian De Metter. The release date of the film based on the novel starring Leonardo DiCaprio was recently pushed back to February 2010.
Synopsis: In 1954, U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels and his partner, Chuck Aule, are sent to Shutter Island to find a mass murderer who has escaped from Ashecliffe Hospital, a fortress-like federal institution for the criminally insane. As an intense hurricane bears relentlessly down on the island, the marshals are forced to piece together clues to a shocking puzzle hidden within Shutter Island, taking them on a dark, twisted journey, where paranoia assumes an air of cool rationality and the line between sanity and madness disappears ...
Shutter Island (Graphic Novel) is scheduled for release in January 2010, and is available to pre-order.
