From Oscar®-winning director Martin Scorsese, “Shutter Island” is the story of two U.S. marshals, Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), who are summoned to a remote and barren island off the coast of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a murderess from the island’s fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane.

Check out the cool Shutter Island trailer here. Also, I made some HD screen caps for those who can’t wait, and already want to have a piece of the movie. Screen caps can be found in the gallery.

Leonardo is currently filming ‘Inception,’ a sci-fi movie directed and written by Christopher Nolan – director of the recent Batman films. Filming will take place over the next several months in several locations including Tokyo, London, Los Angeles, and Alberta, Canada. The script has been kept under wraps, though Nolan has described it as “a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.” Marion Cotillard, Ken Watanabe, Michael Caine, Cilian Murphy and Ellen Page have all joined the cast. The film is tentatively scheduled for a summer 2010 release.

Many celebrities participate in charity events. Most celebrities donate to organizations, and support certain groups.

One celebrity, in particular, has given back to the community in many different ways. Leonardo DiCaprio has created the e-activism center in Santa Monica, California. Santa Monica happens to be Leonardo’s home town.

This center teaches children how to save the environment through certain building materials. In fact, he does practice what he preaches. The center is built with 60% less water than a standard building of the same size. The center collects rainfall and recycles the water used in sinks. This water also irrigates the landscaping, and flushes the toilets.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s e-activism Center also reduces energy by using as much natural light as possible. Everything is efficient, from the dimming lights down to the extra insulation.

This building is built only with recycled materials or recyclable materials.

” “Half of all the world’s materials and resources, half of all forests, go into building production. Buildings consume twice the energy of autos, and emit twice the amount of carbon dioxide,” says NRDC Senior Scientist Rob Watson. “They also consume 80% of drinking water.”

The goal of the activist center is for everyone to educated about the earth and how it needs to be conserved. Children attend his center for field trips yearly, and learn something new every time. Leonardo DiCaprio says, “For the thousands of young people who’ll visit this building each year, I hope it will be the start of a lifetime of civic involvement.”

This is just one of Leonardo’s acts of helping society. He is an activist waiting for his next opportunity.

For more than 15 years, Animal Action Week has been giving young people around the world the knowledge and tools they need to take positive action on behalf of animals and our shared environment. This video is narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio.
