Scorsese Adds Even More Talent To HUGO CABRET; Talks About 3D Redefining Movies!!

Martin Scorsese has landed some pretty big names for smaller roles in HUGO CABRET - impressive names!

"...appearing in the all-star cast are Academy Award® nominee Jude Law (Sherlock Holmes), Ray Winstone (London Boulevard), Christopher Lee (“The Lord of the Rings”), Helen McCrory (“The Special Relationship”), Frances de la Tour (Alice in Wonderland), and Richard Griffiths (The History Boys)."

“It’s a film that’s a fable. It involves Hugo Cabret, [a young boy] and playing the part is Asa Butterfield. I think he’s 12 or 13 in the film and he’s the lead. [The rest of the cast] Chloe Moretz, Ben Kingsley, Christopher Lee, Emily Mortimer, Sacha Baron Cohen, it’s a group, quite a group. We had the sets built by Dante Feretti out here in Shepperton Studios and we’ve been shooting for quite a while now. We only have a few more weeks, I hope and I hope to get it out by next year.”

And Scorsese spoke about how he is dealing with the movie and 3D: “It’s going. It’s going. It’s an experience. The geometry of it, everything, you’re really redefining. You’re trying to figure out how to tell the story again in pictures with this 3D, which is really interesting.”

It is so exciting to see Martin Scorsese engrossed in 3D and to actually hear him talk about redefining the movie going experience! Truly a movie to earnestly look forward to. HUGO CABRET is slated for a December 9, 2011 release.
