HBO and Paramount Television "are making deals to turn the 2010 hit film Shutter Island into a TV series," Deadline.com reported. Tentatively titled Ashecliffe, the pilot will be directed by Martin Scorsese from a script by Dennis Lehane, who wrote the novel originally adapted by the director and Laeta Kalogridis into a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
The project "was an idea by Paramount TV head Amy Powell, who brought it to Scorsese and LBI's Yorn and Chris Donnelly and Brad Fischer... They enlisted Lehane, the Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone author who loved the idea," Deadline.com wrote.
