Here's a trailer for Martin Scorsese's first 3-D movie, Hugo, an adaptation of Brian Selznick's Caldecott Medal-winning quasi graphic novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret. The film stars Asa Butterfield as an orphan boy living in the walls of a Paris train station, Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass) as a girl who befriends him, Ben Kingsley as pioneering filmmaker George Melies, and Sacha Baron Cohen as The Station Inspector.
The trailer plays up the adventure aspects of the story and shows off the film's impressive sets, period mise-en-scene, and potential for humor based on Cohen's inimitable presence. This looks like it could be a film that both critics and audiences of all ages will embrace. Scorsese's Hugo opens nationwide on November 23rd.
