I told you it was poster day!

Thanks to Comingsoon, we have a look a look at Martin Scorsese’s first family friendly feature (did I mention I like alliteration?) and the first in nine years not to star Leonardo Di Caprio, Hugo. (Scorsese probably would have gone with Leo, but he’s a bit old for the part) And it really is a look. Someone at Comingsoon took a pic of the poster outside a theater in LA this past weekend and is sharing it with the world.

Set in 1930s Paris, it’s the story of an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station and becomes embroiled in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton. It used to be called The Invention of Hugo Cabret, after the title character and the Caldecott-winning novel by Brian Selznick upon which it’s based, but apparently that was thought to be too many words for the ticket buying public even though every other title this summer is twelve words and a colon. The really good news is that the script is by ace screenwriter John Logan (Aviator, Hurt Locker, Coriolanus, Bond 23 among others) no matter what it’s called (not to mention directed by Scorsese. I defy anyone to name a bad Scorsese film.)

The impressive cast includes Emily Mortimer, Sacha Baron Cohen, Sir Ben Kingsley, Chloe Moretz, Asa Butterfield (Nanny McPhee Returns) as young Hugo and Jude Law as his father.

The pics below are from the Paris set featuring Chloe Moretz as Isabelle and Sir Ben Kingsley as Papa Georges.

Hugo will open in both 3D and 2D on November 23 in the US and 2 December in the UK.
