E’ stato presentato ieri sera a sorpresa al NYFF, Hugo di Martin Scorsese, in 3D.
Si trattava di una versione non definitiva, ma molto vicina a quella finale: Which means it’s not color-corrected. We’re starting that right now. At the beginning of the film and in other places there are things called pre-visualizations, which means they’re little, crude, computer-generated people, which they promise me are going become human soon. The visual effects are temporary. The 3-D is still being worked on, and the sound mixes are temporary. The music for the most part is still temporary. That means it’s an actual score but it’s on temporary instruments. He’s recording it now in London — Howard Shore. The credits are 2-D, and there aren’t that many on there right now. And you will see a few wonderful green screens. You can put in anything you want.
Scorsese ha messo a frutto la sua sconfinata conoscenza del mezzo e delle sue possibilità ed ha stupito soprattutto per l’uso della terza dimensione.
Tratto da una graphic novel di Brian Selznick, Ugo è interpretato da Asa Butterfield e Chloe Moretz, assime e a Ben Kingsley, Sasha Baron Coen e Jude Law.
La sceneggiatura è stata scritta da John Logan (The Aviator).
In uscita il mese prossimo negli Stati Uniti e forse nel 2012 in Italia con 01.
