Get ready to head back to Shutter Island.

The Martin Scorsese mind-bending thriller that starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo as U.S. Marshals investigating a mental hospital ensconced on an eerie island is getting a prequel. HBO and Paramount are teaming up to produce a television version of the 2010 film, Deadline reports.

The series, which is tentatively titled Ashecliffe, after the hospital in which the action takes place, will be set in a time long before DiCaprio's character, Marshal "Teddy" Daniels, set foot on the island. Instead, the series will explore the stories behind the sanitarium and its founders, who thought that an isolated island sounded like a great place for a medical practice.

The movie will reunite Scorsese with crime writer Dennis Lehane, who wrote the novel on which Shutter Island is based and will script the pilot episode of the new series, which Scorsese will direct. Lately it seems Hollywood has a manifest destiny in turning all of Lehane's books into films with both Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone being penned by him.

Scorsese must have the HBO lot programmed into his GPS by now, as this is the second project he currently has in the works with the network. He is also working on a Mick Jagger-produced drama about the music industry in New York at the birth of punk and disco. The series is set to star the Stones scion, James Jagger, along with Bobby Cannavale, Andrew Dice Clay and, somewhat surprisingly, Ray Romano, because punk rockers need CPAs, too.
