It seems like the blockbuster success of James Cameron’s Avatar has just about everybody thinking about how they can use 3D to their advantage. Hollywood studios like the extra revenue and interest it’s generated, game companies are eager to use it to beef up their titles, and filmmakers seem intrigued by the creative possibilities. Martin Scorcese (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Departed) is the latest notable Hollywood figure to be drawn in by 3D. Scorcese will use the technology in making The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
The movie is based on Brian Selznick’s bestselling children’s book “Hugo Cabret,” which is set in 1930s Paris and centers on a 12-year-old orphan who must solve the mystery of a broken robot. The film is slated for release at the end of 2011.
