Martin Scorsese has had some words to say about 3D, the words I remember most is him saying all movies should be in 3D then picturing Sex and the City in 3 dimensions which led me to cry blood. His next film which is looking to be an adaptation of Brian Selznick’s novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret has been confirmed by Variety to be a 3D production.
Scorsese has said he’s “very excited by 3D…But if the camera move is going to be a 3D effect; it has to be for dramatic purposes – not just throwing spears at the audience. And that, maybe I can’t do that. Maybe my daughter’s generation – she’s 10 now – can think that way.”
Sounds like Scorsese doesn’t want to go the way of Clash of the Titans or Home Improvment’s 3D episode. John Logan (The Aviator) penned the screenplay, The Invention of Hugo Cabret follows:
Orphan, clock keeper, and thief, 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, bookish girl and a bitter old man who runs a toy booth in the 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 from Hugo’s dead father form the backbone of this intricate, tender, and spellbinding mystery.
