Martin Scorsese’s Hugo Cabret film is busy getting behind schedule in London right now. Part of the delay, I’m sure, has been in maintaining the tremendous facial hair of Sacha Baron Cohen and Ben Kingsley’s characters.
The picture has a Facebook fan page, found via The Playlist, and all of the above images come from that. So too does this one of Asa Butterfield as the Hugo Cabret of the title, and Chloe Moretz as Isabelle.
Scorsese has recently spoken to Mark Kermode about the film, and here’s my favourite quote from the Guardian piece that ensued:
Every shot is rethinking cinema, rethinking narrative – how to tell a story with a picture. Now, I’m not saying we have to keep throwing javelins at the camera, I’m not saying we use it as a gimmick, but it’s liberating. It’s literally a Rubik’s Cube every time you go out to design a shot, and work out a camera move, or a crane move. But it has a beauty to it also. People look like… like moving statues. They move like sculpture, as if sculpture is moving in a way. Like dancers…
Fisking that would just be cruel. But I did bold the literally. Just to get you started.
The fan Facebook site has also posted some call sheets which, if you read them closely reveal a good handful of small spoilers. Here’s a few, in brilliant white inviso-text:
One scene’s action is described as “In time with the metronome, the Knight kills one of the skeletons”. Sounds like something from Melies’ The Devil’s Castle, if I’m not very much mistaken – a film that we’ll see being made within this film.
Sacha Baron Cohen’s stagename of Abe Foxman is being used. His character, the Inspector, certainly seems to have been getting a lot of stage time.
Salvador Dali, Django Reinhardt and James Joyce are appearing as characters.
The Invention of Hugo Cabret should be with us late next year.
Today at Kapow, DC announced that they would be taking an existing character and rebooting them as a very prominent gay DC character. I wonder if Kapow cosplayers beat them to it? There was alos a lot of Cosplay gone right though, as the cosplay competition hit the Kapow stage… Thanks to Chris Metcalfe for…

At Kapow in London this morning, DC co-publisher Dan DiDio clarified the company’s publishing schedule, by numbers at least. He confirmed that the company will stick to publishing fifty-two ongoing titles in the DC Universe but they will always be “new” and constantly refreshing. So, basically, we can look forward to September and those zero…
