Hey folks, Harry here... and sometimes I feel it is the very reason AICN exists to take a story that has been online via Variety and then translate it into frank film geek speak for the rest of us.

Martin Scorsese... possibly our most brilliant living director... Has chosen as his next project, a 533 page Children's Picture Book called THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET to make as his very next film, shooting this June.

Well, this book is about an orphan child,whose father was working to fix a Mechanical Man (ROBOT) when he died. The boy, HUGO, is hanging out in a 1930's Parisian train station where he is attempting to complete his father's work.

The other night on CONAN O'BRIEN's TONIGHT SHOW - I watch Scorsese talk about his daughter and there was something about the way he spoke, that made me actually wonder if we were going to see the maestro turn his craft to a children's tale.

With this project, I expect that we will receive our very first live action equivalent to a Miyazaki animated film. I am so excited for this movie. How thrilling. This will be magic.
