Chloe Moretz is starting to look like a teenager. By the time Hugo Cabret comes out this fall, she will be practically 15. That film looks pretty interesting, though. Martin Scorcese has never done a family movie, as you pointed out in a previous conversation (The Age of Innocence was his last PG-rated film, but that wasn't necessarily a children's movie). It will be interesting to look for Scorcese's thumbprints on a children's movie. I'm guessing there won't be the F word, Rolling Stones songs, or substantial graphic violence.
Hey, I can't fault you for conscientiously objecting to Hangover II. I loved the first Hangover, but I think I'm going to be tired of Ed Helms continually playing the bumbling preppy guy who comes out of his shell after a night of partying with his devious friends. In other words, I am not tripping over my shoelaces dashing out the door to go see Cedar Rapids.
yeah, actually when you mention it, it's hard to think of any Scorsese films that are young adult appropriate, let alone geared towards children. Maybe Kundun? But even that is addressing heavy topics. It's a fascinating choice for Scorsese. The novel is very period (which feels appropriate), but it's also fantasy and a bit steam punk, so it'll be interesting to see if he can pull this sort of thing off. Hopefully the lavish production and sfx won't get in the way of the storytelling. fingers crossed?
I didn't realize they were making an English version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo until I saw you mention it here. Have you seen the Swedish one? I haven't read the books but I was thinking about checking it out the next time it comes back to the library.
have yet to see the film version. I'm excited about the American version because David Fincher, but yeah, it'll be interesting to see how the 2 film adaptations compare. I recently watched Let Me In (highly, highly recommended) after seeing Let the Right One In (from Sweden) some time back. Both movies more or less told the exact same story, biggest different was the locale, but appreciated how the different directors had different variations on the same scenes. The end results of scenes were essentially the same, but really composed differently. Sorry, I'm rambling. My point being, it's cool when they actually do an adaptation of the original source, thus creating a unique interpretation, rather than mimicking the previous film. :)
