Martin Scorsese’s next film, THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET is already starting off with a great cast: Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Chloe Moretz.

HUGO CABRET “tells the story of an orphan living in the walls of a Paris train station who encounters a broken machine, an eccentric girl and a reserved toy shop manager.” The screenplay was penned by John Logan (THE AVIATOR). CABARET will be released by Sony in December of 2011.
