Martin Scorsese’s first film where he works with 3D will be arriving in theaters a lot sooner thanks to a couple of nice decisions from GK Films, the production company financing his upcoming feature “Hugo Cabret.” After being under the secure distribution wing of Sony Pictures, the powers-that-be in GK Films wanted “Hugo Cabret” to appear in theaters during Thanksgiving weekend. When Sony could only produce a December 9th release date, they made their way over to Paramount Pictures to strike up a deal that suited their interest.
Now “Hugo Cabret” will be arriving in theaters on November 23rd with Paramount behind the distribution wheel. Since the family mystery feature will be making it’s way into theaters on that date, it will be going up against the highly anticipated “Muppets” movie. At least families will have their pick of great movie entertainment between the two during that festive weekend.
Set in 1920s Paris, “Cabret” concerns a 12-year-old orphan who lives in the walls of a Paris train station. The mystery begins when Hugo encounters a broken automaton, an eccentric girl, and the cold, reserved man who runs the toy shop. “Hugo Cabret” has a cast that includes Chloe Moretz, Asa Butterfield, Ben Kingsley, Jude Law, Emily Mortimer and Sacha Baron Cohen.
