The iconic filmmaker is known for making violent classics like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas, but he’s trying to win over a new target audience with the upcoming release of Hugo, about an orphan living in a train station in Paris, France.
He tells People magazine, “Reading children’s books to her over the years got me into the frame of the mind of making a film about a child.”
And Scorsese admits being surrounded by kids on set was a big change from his crime movies: “We always ended up talking about someone’s new teeth coming in!”
