The Director's Chair > Martin Scorsese
The Invention of Hugo Cabret
Pubrick:
this could be great.
kingsley is due for a comeback and even tho he is pretty much box office and critical poison these days, he always excels when he plays ppl he looks like:
this will hav to do until they make a film about hamid karzai
the other great thing is that marty seems to not hav found a way to wedge Leo into this project. it just feels like a nice refreshing change from all the crap he's been making.
polkablues:
Leo will play the 12-year-old, obviously. The articles didn't bother to mention it because they figured we would just assume.
Alexandro:
Kingsley can do whatever he wants and it makes no difference in his career. I don't know if he "needs" a comeback. Has he had any other comebacks before? He just rocks like a motherfucker from time to time in between a LOT of really bad movies. He's gotta work. He's like Willem Daffoe. He's never really that hot actor, and he's never really out of work.

Scorsese Sets Pyjama Boy And Hit Girl For The Invention Of Hugo Cabret
By MIKE FLEMING; Deadline Hollywood
EXCLUSIVE: Martin Scorsese's lining up his young leads for The Invention of Hugo Cabret. I'm told that Asa Butterfield will play the title character, with the female lead role of Isabelle going to Chloe Moretz, who is lighting up the screen in trailers for the Matthew Vaughn-directed Kick-Ass. She plays Hit Girl in a film Lionsgate debuted to raucous reaction at SXSW. Moretz also stars in Let Me In, the Americanized remake of the memorable Swedish vampire film Let The Right One In. She plays the bloodsucker.
Butterfield starred in The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, and most recently wrapped Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang. Sacha Baron Cohen and Ben Kingsley will also star in The Invention of Hugo Cabret. I've also confirmed the film will be distributed by Sony, through the deal that producer Graham King's GK Films set with the Sony Worldwide Acquisitions Group. It seems odd to imagine Scorsese building a film around children.
I can't think of too many Scorsese films it would be appropriate for these kids to even watch.

Scorsese to shoot 'Hugo Cabret' in 3D
Oscar-winning director's next film to open Dec. 9, 2011

Martin Scorsese is taking the plunge into 3D.
The helmer will employ the technology for his next project, "The Invention of Hugo Cabret."
Sony, which is distributing the GK Films-financed pic, has dated the film for Dec. 9, 2011.
Based on Brian Selznick's best-selling children's book, story is set in 1930s Paris and 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.
Project, which will begin lensing in London in June, marks Scorsese's first foray into kid lit as well as his debut 3D film.
John Logan, who wrote Scorsese's "The Aviator," will adapt the screenplay.
