MARTIN SCORCESE ON "HUGO 3-D"

Martin Scorcese covers The Hollywood Reporter

The latest Issue of The Hollywood Reporter features none other than legendary Filmmaker Martin Scorcese on its Cover. Scorcese who soon releases Hugo on November 23, 2011 via Paramount Pictures, tells Jay Fernandez about his repressed Childhood when he was frequently silenced and also how his 12 year-old Daughter Francesca inspired him to make this latest effort.

Scorcese says, "You deal with them (Children) every day so that you're made to understand actually how they perceive the world around them, even from the level of their height". "It's a different way of living entirely. But the thing about it is then (doing Hugo) seemed natural. It didn't seem like a stretch. Being around children, I'm very comfortable with them now.".

Watch Scorcese and Avatar Director James Cameron talk to The Hollywood Reporter about the use of 3-D in Hugo below:

"THE ROOMMATE" HOLDS STALKERS AT BAY ATOP THE BOX OFFICE

Still from The Roommate

I don't believe my eyes! A James Cameron Movie not to top the Box Office? Sony Screen Gems, which seems to be specializing in films of the Camp genre ruled the Box Office on a tepid weekend with Thriller, The Roommate. Drawing parallels to that of 1992 Thriller Single White Female, the Film starring Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly brought in $15.6 million in its debut. Review to follow later today.

Another Thriller, Sanctum, placed second with $9.2 million for Universal Pictures. Produced by Avatar Director James Cameron, the Film was made for a $30 million budget. Critics however didn't budge this time, with the Film earning a negative 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer.

No Strings Attached still continues to perform well in its third week with $8.4 million for Paramount. To date it has pulled in $51.8 million domestically - not bad considering it was made for $25 million.

The King's Speech lands in fourth with $8.3 million, bringing its domestic tally to $84.1 million as its Oscar buzz reaches a feverish pitch for the Historical Drama from The Weinstein Co.
