There’s no doubt that the comic book world has been kind to Matthew Vaughn of late. After the double-whammy of Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class, he has yet to commit to his next project, though a couple of properties connected to Mark Millar (who wrote Kick-Ass) are believed to be under consideration. Firstly, there is [...]
If you were one of the lucky ones who took a chance on the secret screening at this year’s New York Film Festival then you can feel pretty pleased with yourselves as it was revealed yesterday that a ‘work-in-progress’ print of Martin Scorsese’s 3D adaptation of Brian Selznick’s The Invention of Hugo Cabret, or Hugo [...]
Mark Millar’s creator-owned comic label, Millarworld, has proved a veritable feast for studios, eager to produce their own Wanted or Kick-Ass. While Sony prepares War Heroes and 20th Century Fox chews on Nemesis, however, Matthew Vaughn is returning to the fold for seconds, having just purchased the rights to the comic book creator’s Superior (via [...]
I’m still a little miffed that it was decided to excise ‘The Invention of’ and then ‘Cabret’ from the title of Brian Selznick’s wonderful novel to leave us with the rather dull title of ‘Hugo’, yet I’m still very much looking forward to Martin Scorsese’s first dalliance with the third dimension as he tells the [...]
We got our first look at Matthew Goode in the upcoming Burning Man back in July ahead of its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month. The pictures didn’t give much away about the film, but its first trailer has now arrived, via FirstShowing.net, and it gives us a much deeper look [...]
Chloë Moretz made a real name for herself last year when Matthew Vaughn’s adaptation of Mark Millar’s comic book series, Kick-Ass, came out on the big screen. Since then, there’s been a lot of talk about the possibility of a sequel, and in a new interview Moretz has done with Movies.com, courtesy of Comic Book [...]
On the surface of it, Super might sound to many almost exactly like Kick-Ass, albeit with a much lower budget. The premise of the two films does, superficially (no pun intended), sound very similar. Both films feature an ordinary guy without any powers that goes about trying to stop crime. And this similarity means that [...]
This film has me intrigued. Not only is it Martin Scorsese’s first foray into the world of 3D but it is primarily a film for children, as well as the fan of the magical era of silent cinema. I enjoyed Brian Selznick’s book The Invention of Hugo Cabret immensely, quite why the film has followed [...]
The title for this movie has changed more times than I can remember but now a poster for the film which once was called The Invention of Hugo Cabret then Hugo Cabret and now simply Hugo, has been released! Thanks to an eagle eyed ComingSoon.net, we get to see the first promotional material for the [...]
This year sees the release of yet another plethora of comic book adaptations, most recently topped by the arrival of X-Men: First Class in cinemas. To coincide with Matthew Vaughn’s prequel – albeit a prequel with reimaginitive tendencies – the internet has inevitably started buzzing with claims that it may constitute The Greatest Comic Book [...]
Only a couple of days after a picture showing Johnny Depp appearing in Martin Scorsese’s 3D movie The Invention of Hugo Cabret found its way online Le Parisien have posted a set video with a look at Sir Ben Kingsley in his role as Georges Melies. While we’ve seen Sir Ben in costume before, as [...]
Down in the HUG Bunker, we’re pretty big fans of flame-haired screenwriter Jane Goldman, so it was a pleasant surprise to find out that she’s pretty fond of us too! Not only did she tell us how much she liked the site, but she also let us know the progress of Kick-Ass 2, what she [...]
A new image from Martin Scorsese’s forthcoming 3D adapation of Brian Selznick’s The Invention of Hugo Cabret has hit the internet giving us a first look at Johnny Depp in his role at M. Rouleau. ComingSoon and their enigmatic source ‘Steven’ scanned this picture in and as Depp is credited as a Producer on the [...]
Matthew Vaughn is fast competing with Zack Snyder to see who can churn out the most comic book adaptations in one career with news from Deadline with the Kick-Ass director has another project involving those defenders of good in the works. Vaughan is still putting the final post-production touches to this summer’s prequel X-Men: First [...]
The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Martin Scorsese’s 3D debut, is one of the most anticipated films of this year. Not least it will give moviegoers the chance to see how the filmmaker adapts to the extra dimension, but for me Brian Selznick’s wonderful story is enough to get me into the cinema. A crucial part [...]
Joining HeyUGuys back in June of this year, I was eager to put my personal popcorn addiction to good use. A Psychology student by day and an usher by night, I had built up an encyclopaedic knowledge of film over three years of part time work, ever broadening my horizons with a determination to watch anything [...]
Black Swan, the forthcoming psychological ballet thriller from acclaimed director Darren Aronofsky, picked up an unprecedented twelve nominations at the annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards.

More set pics from Martin Scorsese’s Rubiks Cube of a movie, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, and we get our first look at Emily Mortimer, Helen McCrory and Michael Stuhlbarg. Yesterday pics of Sacha Baron Cohen and Ben Kingsley found their way online and we’re now waiting to see Jude Law, Ray Winstone and the [...]
While Martin Scorsese’s 3D adaptation of Brian Selznick’s award winning novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret is moving on nicely a few pictures have surfaced showing a few of the formidable cast in their finery. The film deals with an orphaned boy who, while scratching an existence living in the walls of a Paris train [...]
