Punch Pick: Holiday Movie

“Hugo” is the astonishing adventure of a wily and resourceful boy whose quest to unlock a secret left to him by his father will transform Hugo and all those around him, and reveal a safe and loving place he can call home.

Throughout his extraordinary career, Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese has brought his unique vision and dazzling gifts to life in a series of unforgettable films. Now the legendary storyteller invites you to join him on a thrilling journey to a magical world with his first-ever 3D film, based on Brian Selznick’s award-winning, imaginative New York Times bestseller, The Invention of Hugo Cabret.

In “Hugo” Scorsese assembled an impressive acting ensemble comprised of rising new talent working alongside venerated stars of the stage and motion pictures, including Ben Kingsley (”Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time,” “Shutter Island”), Sacha Baron Cohen (”Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa,” “Borat”), Asa Butterfield (”The Boy in the Striped Pajamas,” “The Wolfman”), Chloe Grace Moretz (”Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” “Let Me In”),  Emily Mortimer (”Shutter Island,” “Lars and the Real Girl”), Helen McCrory (”Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts 1 & 2,” “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”), and more, including a cameo from Jude Law (”Contagion,” “Sherlock Holmes”). Equally stellar is the behind-the-camera team of award-winning filmmaking artists—many of whom are previous Scorsese collaborators.
