Martin Scorsese will make his first 3D picture with his adaptation of the children’s book The Invention of Hugo Cabret. During a panel this past January at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Scorsese voiced his interest and support of 3D filmmaking. Variety now confirms that Scorsese has personally embraced the technology and will shoot his latest film in 3D. While I’m not a 3D devotee, I’m heartened that A) the film will be shot in 3D rather than upconverted from 2D to 3D in post-production; and B) Scorsese is once again defying expectations and showing us that he’s always trying to do something new (Hugo Cabret will also be his first film based off a children’s novel).
Hit the jump for the official synopsis of the book by Brian Selznick. Adapted by John Logan (The Aviator), the film stars Asa Butterfield (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas), Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass), Ben Kingsley, and Sacha Baron Cohen. The Invention of Hugo Cabret has set a release date of December 9, 2011.
Here’s the official book synopsis for The Invention of Hugo Cabret:
ORPHAN, CLOCK KEEPER, AND THIEF, twelve-year-old Hugo lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station, where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. But when his world suddenly interlocks with an eccentric girl and the owner of a small toy booth in the train station, Hugo’s undercover life, and his most precious secret, are put in jeopardy. A cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a mechanical man, and a hidden message all come together…in The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
This 526-page book is told in both words and pictures. The Invention of Hugo Cabret is not exactly a novel, and it’s not quite a picture book, and it’s not really a graphic novel, or a flip book, or a movie, but a combination of all these things. Each picture (there are nearly three hundred pages of pictures!) takes up an entire double page spread, and the story moves forward because you turn the pages to see the next moment unfold in front of you.

If you have not read this book yet, then you are doing yourself a disservice. This is a story that will appeal to anybody that has a love for film. If the movie is half as good as the source material, we're going to be in for a real treat.
THis is rad! I read this book once I found out Marty was going to direct. Even though it was a kid book, I loved it. It really is a beautiful story about the love for cinema. It makes perfect sense why Marty wants to direct it.
I think shooting in 3D is the way to go. I'm not a huge fan of 3D but a Scorsese movie shot in 3D are you kidding me???? I can't wait.
I was hoping it would come out this year. Oh well.
Word.
noooooooooo!!! Not you too Martin!!!! 3D sucks!
Scorsese directs a childrens book? ummm… i was hoping he would do “The Life and Times of Theodore Roosevelt” next. Or “Silence”.
