Trailer: Hugo

I just watched this trailer for Hugo, based on the book The Invention of Hugo Cabaret by Brian Selznick and...wow.



I'm halfway through the book right now (which is a neat combination of text and images), and the trailer looks just great. First off, Jude Law. Enough. Second, Chloe Moretz, who I adore. (And who's character, Hit Girl, I might have portrayed last Halloween.) Third, relatively unknown Asa Butterfield, who plays Hugo, is absolutely adorable. Fourth, Martin Scorsese as director. And fifth - it looks beautiful. I'm excited for a children's film that looks smart, and not just...Smurfs-like.

Anyway, I'm quite excited. What do you think?
