Director Martin Scorsese, the legendary storyteller, decided to
make his first-ever 3D film based on the Brian Selznick illustrated
novel which he read four years ago, immediately connected to, and
then shared with his youngest daughter. In reading books to my
daughter, we re-experience the work. So it's like rediscovering the
work of art again, but through the eyes of a child. He decided to
turn to a different film format, and screenwriter John Logan was
chosen to turn Selznick's words and illustrations and transform
them into a screenplay. He had to cut and change some elements of
the book, but, as Selznick says in his introduction: John performed
a kind of magic trick. He took my story and turned it inside out.
He turned it into a story that feels like it was always meant to be
a movie, and yet he also took the time to celebrate books [and] all
happens in the context of a gigantic, glorious, heartfelt,
cinematic masterpiece just makes it all the more meaningful. "Hugo"
is the astonishing adventure of a wily and resourceful boy whose
quest to unlock a secret left to him by his father will transform
Hugo and all those around him, and reveal a safe and loving place
he can call home. Scorsese has assembled an impressive acting
ensemble comprised of rising new talent working alongside venerated
stars of the stage and motion pictures, including Ben Kingsley,
Sacha Baron Cohen, Asa Butterfield, Chloe Grace Moretz, Ray
Winstone, Emily Mortimer, Helen McCrory, Christopher Lee, Richard
Griffiths, Frances De La Tour, Michael Stuhlbarg, and with Jude
Law.
