The Invention Of Hugo Cabret

The Man · Jan 22, 2010

The helmer is in talks with GK Films to direct Brian Selznick's best-selling children's book "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" for what he hopes will be his next project. Pic would reunite Scorsese with his "Departed" producer Graham King.

Story centers on a 12-year-old orphan named Hugo, who lives in a train station and must finish what his late father started by solving the mystery of a broken robot.

GK Films will independently produce the live-action feature and is in discussions with a number of studios including Sony and Paramount about distributing "Hugo Cabret." Currently on the fast track for a June 1 start in London, pic is also being produced by Scorsese, Tim Headington and Johnny Depp's production company Infinitum Nihil, which is run by Christi Dembrowski.

J.D. Makes Inventive Appearance...

Depp will join Chloe Moretz, Jude Law, Christopher Lee, Emily Mortimer, and Asa Butterfield along with Scorsese?s new Boardwalk Empire buddies Michael Stuhlbarg and Michael Pitt in the film. The part is not large (it was shot in less than a week) but it is that of a painter that helps the children at a train station.

This movie just keeps getting better and better...

You know, I've always thought that if Scorsese decided to make a Rolling Stones Johnny Depp would be fantastic as Keith Richards (as he is a fan and basically plays that role in POTC)... this collaboration makes me think this isn't as far off as I once thought.

Trailer attached to Harry Potter?

As if you needed another reason to head to the theater on July 15, the first look at director Martin Scorsese?s 3D family film Hugo Cabret could possibly be attached to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

Let us 'gasm at the great news.

Short and sweet. Just like Marty...

Soon the film will simply be called ?H.? I?m very excited to see footage from Martin Scorsese?s new film, which is his first 3D project, and his first aimed at a family audience. Based on the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, the film had until recently been called simply Hugo Cabret, but has now evidently undergone another title change, and will be known to the world as Hugo.

Teaser poster, and trailer confirmed for Potter...

?Wasn?t what I was expecting [the 'Hugo' trailer] to be, but reminds me of an interesting mix of ['Oliver Twist '] and ['The Polar Express ']. Probably will be the first Scorsese movie I wont be running out to see opening night, but look forward to it non the less. Didn?t particularily like the ['Legend of the Guardians '] trailer music they used either.?

I don't know, Monsieur Man... not feeling it like I think I should. The idea looks good on paper and the cast is more than solid... perhaps I was expecting more from a Martin Scorsese children's film? Or perhaps its just a bad trailer? Regardless, I will still probably check this out (unless my fears prove to be true) for curiosity's sake at least.

It's the music. And the first minute. Too syrupy. But...in Marty we must trust!

Feature trailer and early word from NYFF...

The legendary director has crafted a charming piece of all-ages entertainment that’s absolutely stunning in its use of live-action 3D — even in the unfinished version I saw, a work in progress with visible green screens, some very rough CG, and a temporary sound mix. This is the kind of work filmmakers are talking about when they insist it isn’t just a cheesy, money-grabbing gimmick, but a true next step in cinematic technology, because this is the kind of movie that’s actually worth shelling out the extra bucks and dealing with those uncomfortable disposable glasses for.

Interestingly, it’s Hugo‘s interest in old-fashioned technology that makes it such an appropriate setting in which to demonstrate the possibilities of newfangled 3D. The really impressive use here isn’t in the dazzling action set pieces — though happily, there are some of those too — but in the subtler scenes, where it’s seamlessly dispatched to make for a more immersive viewing experience.

The major flaw with Hugo is its pacing. For the first hour or so, it’s not quite clear where the story is headed, and the momentum suffers somewhat as a result — likely a huge drawback for younger or more impatient viewers.

It’s not until the second half that Hugo really comes alive, when it reveals itself as a love letter to old-school cinema.

Hugo isn’t a perfect film, and those who prefer their narratives shorter or more straightforward may be irritated with its occasional meandering. But for cinephiles in particular, it’s a delightful picture that’s well worth seeing in theaters, in 3D.

[sarcastic mode on]Thank you <strike>Sundance</strike> The Man. It's nice to know we can come to "The Raven" to be updated on every bit of odd and unnecessary movie news you find out on the net.[/sarcastic mode off]

Seriously, is this constructive, necessary or relevant to bettering the lives of the members here at "The Raven"?

I didn't "'gasm". But I wondered what he invented and whether it featured on The Dragon's Den?
