So how’s Martin Scorsese doing with his first foray into 3-D for the upcoming family film Hugo Cabret? He’s loving it, he tells the Guardian: “Every shot is rethinking cinema, rethinking narrative — how to tell a story with a picture,” he gushed. “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 … ” Martin Scorsese is sitting in the theater right now clutching his ticket to Megamind and he is psyched. [Guardian UK]
