Invention Reinvention
Even as Bloody Disgusting has Sacha Baron Cohen on the short list for a role in the long thought of Men in Black 3 ...
Word is that Martin Scorsese's also cast him in his adaptation of The Invention of Hugo Cabret via Deadline Hollywood.
Also cast is Ben Kingsley , Asa Butterfield ("The Boy in the Striped Pajamas") and Chloe Moretz ("Kick-Ass").
Based on Brian Selznick's children's fantasy story set in the 1930's and follows an orphan (Butterfield) who lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station maintaining the clocks. Attempting to repair a mechanical man, he becomes caught up in a strange adventure.
Kingsley will play silent filmmaker George Melies, Cohen will play the station inspector and Moretz will play the female lead role of Isabelle.
The project was put into turnaround, so distribution details are still being worked out.
