Opening this week is Martin Scorsese‘s first 3D film, Hugo. Based on Brian Selznick’s The Invention of Hugo Cabret, the film stars Asa Butterfield as a young boy secretly living in a train station in 1931 Paris. As he attempts to piece together a puzzle that he’d been working on with his father, the results transform not only Hugo, but everyone he comes in contact with. The impressive cast also includes Chloe Moretz, Sacha Baron Cohen, Sir Ben Kingsley, Jude Law, Ray Winstone, Christopher Lee, Helen McCrory, Richard Griffiths, Frances de la Tour, Emily Mortimer, and Michael Stuhlbarg. You can watch a trailer here.During my interview with Butterfield, he talked about getting the role in Hugo, working with Scorsese, shooting with the 3D cameras, the incredible sets, karaoke, video games, his reaction to the finished film, and reveals a very funny prank that he did on set. In addition, with Butterfield rumored to be the lead in director Gavin Hood's Ender's Game, he talked about what appeals to him about the project. Hit the jump to watch.Finally, if you plan on seeing Hugo, make sure to see it in 3D. It’s definitely one of the best live-action 3D movies I’ve ever seen. Scorsese once again proves he’s a master no matter the dimension. And if you missed them, here’s my video interview with Sir Ben Kingsley, Chloe Moretz, Emily Mortimer, and Matt’s review of the film.Asa Butterfield
