Hugo Cabret on the Big Screen

Attention, all Hugo Cabret fans! A Martin Scorsese-directed adaptation of Brian Selznick's stunning book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, is coming to the big screen on November 23rd. Here's the plot: Twelve-year-old Hugo, an orphan who lives and repairs clocks within the walls of a Paris train station in 1931, meets a mysterious toy seller and his goddaughter. Hugo and the girl team up to solve a mystery involving his late father, the toy seller and a heart-shaped lock.

Asa Butterfield stars as Hugo, and other cast members include Chloe Moretz, Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jude Law and Christopher Lee. I saw a preview of this movie a few weeks ago, and the scenery and special effects are spectacular! If anyone sees this movie, I would love to hear from you. Looking forward to this one!
