Plot:
“Set in the 1930’s, the film revolves around an orphan boy (Asa Butterfield) who lives a secret life in the walls of a Paris train station. When Hugo encounters a broken machine, an eccentric girl (Chloe Moretz), and the cold, reserved man who runs the toy shop (Ben Kingsley), he is caught up in a magical, mysterious adventure that could put all of his secrets in jeopardy.”

A few words from Ben Kingsley about his role as Georges Méliès in the movie Hugo Cabret:

“It examines the early days of cinema through the eyes of a child. You know how martin Scorsese is devoted to cinema and its evolution. We go right back to those first flickering images, so it’s about memory, it’s about childhood, it’s about invention. It’s a very, very beautiful film.”

Actor Ben Kingsley

The release date of Hugo Cabret is set for December 9, 2011.
