Early on in the production of his children's fantasy adventure picture Hugo - then known as Hugo Cabret - director Martin Scorsese mused that working in 3D was more difficult than he had anticipated. If the first trailer for the film is any indication it would appear that he has figured it out.
Based on the novel The Invention Of Hugo Cabret - a better titled by far than this shorter version, in my opinion - by Brian Selznick, Hugo stars relative unknown Asa Butterfield in the lead with a stellar supporting cast including Chloe Moretz, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ben Kingsley, Jude Law, Ray Winstone, Christopher Lee, and Emily Mortimer around him.
Hugo tells the story of an orphan boy living a secret life in the walls of a Paris train station. With the help of an eccentric girl, he searches for the answer to a mystery linking the father he recently lost, the ill-tempered toy shop owner living below him and a heart shaped lock, seemingly without a key.
Due for a November release, the first trailer for Hugo has just arrived at Apple and is looking good. Check it out.

Its a Scorsese movie, count me in......
Wow that's quite a departure for him. If it didn't say that it was directed by him I would completely dismiss this as a run of the mill kids film trying to cash in on the dwindling 3D craze. I just hope the finished product is better than this weak and pandering trailer.
F*k yeah!
The book is a lot of fun and from what I can glean from the trailer it looks like the movie is pretty faithful to it. They certainly didn't play up Melies until the very end, which I'm more in tune with than the kid's part of the story. Ah well, it IS a kids movie. Looks great so far!
